Back in 2006, Hao Wu was taken into cusdody by chinese authorities. [...]

Its no secret that Im a rather vocal critic of the NCSF. Or at least the NCSF that has existed since the spring of 2002. The old NCSF I actually sorta liked. Though I could rattle off a list of every objection I have, the thing I want to specifically focus on for the moment [...]

WARNING: If you know who Mystery Organization X is, please don’t post to the comment section. Like Glenda the Good Witch looking out after Dorthy, if you just TELL someone the answer, it wont do them any good. They have to learn for themselves.

I recently watched a lecture by Steven Levitt (auther of Freakonomics) that gave a fairly convincing argument on why putitng children in car seats is a bad idea. As he points out in his lecture, many people are unhappy with this idea. Especialy car seat manfacturers.

So what do potato chips have to do with the bdsm?
In upstate new york, just before the civil war, a diner at a resort restraunt did something that no customer at any food service establishement should ever do. He pissed off the cook.
