There’s a slow-growing trend for men to take their spouses’ last names.
Douglas County Clerk Tom Cavanaugh said “Men who think about it are quickly discouraged either by the process or the public reaction.”
That reaction is the product of our roots as a patriarchal society and several hundred years of history, said Cleveland Evans, a member of the American Name Society and a psychology professor at Bellevue University.
No local, state or national agency records the instances, but anecdotal evidence nationwide indicates it’s more common, said Mark Rosenbaum, a lawyer and University of Michigan professor of law.
Me thinks this has little to do with romance or being submissive, instead it’s just men taking a female’s name that’s shorter and easier to spell than your own. Shit. I know that’s the reason I wanna get married. My last name’s kinda weird. Explains a lot, I’m sure.
These are the bestest monkeys on the planet, ever! We have got to open some restaurants in the States so patrons can enjoy this kind of exceptional customer service. You don’t ever have to worry about snobby waiters. Monkeys don’t give a shit, they won’t stare at your tits, stutter, list the daily specials or beg you to buy dessert.

… for the showers. I bet this sign has made people masturbate more. Second, I’ve never understood the whole masturbation in the shower fetish. I don’t need any water, tub or shower head to get off. Third, do semen related costs really cost the school thousands every year? How many of these incidents take place at frat houses? Sounds like they desperately need new pipes, because we all know masturbation in college won’t cum to an end any time soon.
If I were a dude I think I would enjoy jacking in my room, though, then aiming my juice at a dart board. Heh. If I had a penis I would be so wreckless.
Guys with higher testosterone levels along with manly faces are more likely to take the biggest financial risks, suggests a new study.
“Although our findings do not address causality, we believe that testosterone may influence how individuals make risky financial decisions,” said researcher Coren Apicella, an anthropologist at Harvard University.
Previous studies have shown that on average, men are more likely than women to take risks, and the researchers theorized that these differences could be explained by the role of testosterone.
A recent study also showed that stock market traders made more money on days when their testosterone levels were highest.
The researchers also scored players on facial masculinity.
Those who had the manliest faces invested 6 percent more than their average-face counterparts. Basically, if the risk does pay off financially, it could also pay off with the ladies.
She added, “This is because women value wealth more than men when choosing for a mate.”
Take this bullshiz with a big grain of wtf. First of all, only 100 Harvard students, ages 18 - 23, were tested. Of course they’re gonna be more reckless with their money, there’s a hell of a lot more where that came from!
And second, wtf is the last part about women valuing money in a mate more than men? Gold-digging bitch, please! There’s a whole new breed of dead beat losers and cougar-loving freeloaders out there these days, too. Better recognize. - Am I stuck in the 90s?! When did people say that, late 90s, early 21st century? Who cares, it’s Friday.
At the University of Manchester, students now have more options.
The female’s bathrooms will have toilets while the men’s bathroom will have toilets with urinals. The student union decided to change the bathroom signs following a number of complaints from transgender students. Out of 35,000 students, there’s no word on how many complained.
University rep Jennie Killip said:
“If you were born female, still presently quite feminine, but defined as a man you should be able to go into the men’s toilets.
“Transgender people can face violence and abuse when they go into toilets and we wanted to provide a place where they can feel comfortable.
On the flip side, Jane McConnell, a news editor for the student newspaper, said,
“Many people from different religious and ethnic groups are going to feel uncomfortable using these facilities. At the end of the day, toilets should be for women and for men specifically, not for both.”
Another student added:
“This is ridiculous. It is just too much political correctness.”
I think it’s craziness that I came across this story today. I was just talking to a random girl in the woman’s bathroom when I was out Saturday night, cause as you can imagine I love talking to strangers, and I started talking about the long lines at womens’ bathrooms. It was hilarious.
Well, it was hilarious because her friends were lookin’ at me like ‘wtf? Who is this stranger?’ while I gave them the stink eye and continued talking… And it was funny because I said that there should be 2 separate bathrooms for females. One for women on their period, the other for women who aren’t on their period. I crack myself up!
And, now that I think about it, there should be another set of separate bathrooms for those who want to take a shit, and those who take really smelly shits. Genius.
Men seem to find women more attractive in fall and winter months than in months of maximum sun exposure. Less is more. Apparently, since more women are covered up during cold months, the scarcity of flesh is much more titillating.
A group of male subjects were asked, at different times of the year, to rate photos of women. They gave their highest scores in the winter and autumn, and their lowest scores in the summer.
The seasonal variation may have an impact on mate choice and on levels of adultery. One theory is that fewer female bodies are on display in the winter, so the rarity makes them more attractive.
“Since in summer men are much more often exposed to more uncovered women’’s bodies than in winter, our prediction was that stimuli presented to men in summer will be assessed as less attractive than the same stimuli presented to the same men in winter.”
“We have all been raised on it. Why should we not include it into our diet? I first experimented with breast milk when my daughter was born.
“One can cook really delicious things with it. However, it always needs to be mixed with a bit of whipped cream, in order to keep the consistency.”
Breast milk will be used in at least 75% of recipes at Locher’s Storchen restaurant.
He’s also offering donors $5.50 per 14 ounces, about $50/ gallon. Weird! Sounds like he’ll be spending more on breast milk than he would on cow’s.
I don’t think using breast milk is as bad as a lot of the crap that’s probably in the foods we eat everyday. Just don’t tell me about it and I won’t gag.
By taking their wives’ last names.
