I love the South Dakota ad: "You might not die here!". The article on the mutual adaptation and evolution of dogs and humans was very interesting. And I enjoyed the Mohammedan theory of women running losing their virginity. I always thought it was when they stopped running that the risks began... ;)
Re: the scantily-clad car models. China sure is a weird place when it comes to these issues.
I can't make up my mind on which is the sillier: scantily-clad car models or THIS.
Mendip: It's striking how human-ape differences resemble dog-wolf differences -- as if we were sort of domesticating ourselves in a similar way to how we domesticated dogs. Taming our violent streak has always been one of the challenges of building civilizations, but if our ferocity hadn't lost it's original ape edge, we might never have managed it, no matter how intelligent we got.
The Islamotards at that school are just still caught in the grip of the same absurd hymen fixation that can be seen in the Old Testament. Even virginity isn't really the point, the crude supposed physical evidence of it is the point.
Shaw: Yeesh, never heard of that one. It seems very out of synch with the solemnity a funeral should have.
I have to admit I liked the South Dakota ad; while it may not have been a parody, I still got the feeling it was more than a little tongue-in-cheek. It's a state I'd actually like to go and visit myself sometime; while I gather there's not much there (about the only two things associated with the place I can think of myself are Mt Rushmore, and a big motorbike show that happens every year at Sturgis*), I've always been interested in places that are off the beaten track, and have a feeling that SD would be one of those places filled with a lot of "beautiful desolation", if you know what I mean. Ever been that way yourself?
*I also have the feeling it would've been one of those places with a lot of top secret nuclear facilities in it during the Cold War.
