Much of it seems like kids' queries to me, and if the right-wing idjits would quit forcing their anti-sex (ed) hysteria on the rest of us and quit yanking Judy Blume books off the shelves, the kids would have a good portion of the information they needed and could instead spend their time querying the interwebs about "how to write a successful speech for my summer at the Model UN" and "how to build a youth movement and spur staid old fuddy-duddy congress critters to begin the impeachment process." Well, one can dream.

And I know that for yours truly way back in the day the question was not 'how to make out,' because one could reasonably expect to figure that out as one went, but 'how to start making out.' That was damn near impossible. Couldn't someone just have yelled, "ready, set, go!"? That would've been v. helpful. =D

The "how to levitate" query leads to a very popular YouTube video that debunks recently televised street magician's levitation tricks.

I love that whole BP campaign - the commercials and signage (and your bag) are very cute. But they're still just gas stations, not adorable little fantasylands.

Thanks, Bill. I suppose, like the preznit, I could've used The Google, but it's hard work. Thanks for dropping in!

pinky, I like the graphics v. much, too, but I don't trust those punks as far as I can throw 'em! And they had this whole little set of things for kids, like packs of seeds and trading cards -- all v. cute, but, again, they're eeeeeeeevvvviiillll, so yeah.
