Laura Bush: Take my husband, please.

USATODAY.com – Laura Bush: First lady of comedy?

I saw my in-laws down at the ranch over Easter. We like it down there. George didn’t know much about ranches when we bought the place. Andover and Yale don’t have a real strong ranching program. But I’m proud of George. He’s learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What’s worse, it was a male horse.

Culturally transmitted diseases

I was discussing the concept of culturally transmitted diseases the other day. Things such as Copycat suicide, Fugue states, and the like. (A lot of other things could’ve been added here, but I’ll leave that open to interpretation.)

One disease which is sometimes culturally transmitted (and which I’m helping to spread, I guess [note: i don't have this disorder {...yet, heheh}]) is apotemnophilia which is the desire to become an amputee. The idea gets extended to why it isn’t a good idea to view violent and/or crazy sexual acts and hanging out on rotten.com (which i’m not going to link to in a million years, Caveat Clicktor, or in this case, Caveat CopyPastetor).
