Why the Giant Sword?

Why do real swords appear so boring yet video game swords are awesome looking? Billy Ocho -Miami, Florida I think that the weapons in video games or comics would be absolutely impossible to use in real life. There is no humanly possible to even think you would wield a 50 foot piece of metal or pick up a 50,000 caliber tank on your shoulder and launch it….. But it is super fun to fantasize about it.

What is tarded?

What is the test used for mentally retarded population, I want to make sure I am not 'tarded??? Harry in KC It's so funny how broad the classification of "mental retardation" or properly "intellectually disabled" is, the way it is worded it could be anyone that does not want to make social change. lol. Me being an super-extrovert with no social buttble causes paranoia in my authority figures who feel I might fit this classification because of my lack of willingness to conform to the cookie cutter lifestyle they have in mind for me. On a happier note, some research I am working on for my blog included a study at Boston University for testing of such matters, interesting read: http://www.jabfm.org/content/20/4/399.long

Creepy Guy

What makes a guy Creepy? Janice -Grand Junction, Colorado Creepy is a term used to describe a guy that likes you but you don’t like him. If the smoking hot guy were to do the same things as the “Creepy” guy did, he would be considered cute or sweet.  Maybe you are the creepy one?

STD’s in animals

Animals don't have safe sex, why don't they get STD's? Kenley Darling - Nevada Oh boy, our furry forest friends get STD's faster than amateur porn stars. In fact a lot of koala bears have chlamydia. Primates can get a disease similar to HIV in humans called SIV. It's probable that syphilis came from sheep or cattle. dolphins get genital warts, and rabbits can get syphilis. Dogs and cats both have their own strains of herpes virus. And the Tasmanian Devil has a weird STI that cause a very aggressive and strange form of face cancer, tumor thing. It prevents them from hunting and feeding. But wait! There's more! The fun is not just limited to our furred friends! Birds can get chlamydia and also give it to humans and cats through bites and scratches after they are infected. Reptiles also can get STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Also insects have their own weird STIs. I just wanna jump in here about the Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease. The disease is not thought to be spread sexually, instead through biting, as generally the devils will bite each other when fighting over food. It can also be transferred through eating the same carcass as an infected devil. Interestingly, it is one of the few forms of infectious cancer.

My Boyfriend

I'm 13. How do I tell my mother about my boyfriend? Jan Here’s the thing. You could just tell your mom you are pregnant. Then after she is all pissed off tell her you were just joking and that you have a boyfriend. She will be soooo relieved that the fact that you have a boyfriend will be no big deal. Also ask her how to use condoms so you don't actually get pregnant. That way in the future there will be much less uncomfortable conversations between the two of you.

Ethics and Consumer Psychology

Seems like Ethics in Marketing is shot.  What do you think? William K. - Utah Ethically, The practice of my colleagues and myself is shot. We are basically evil and don't usually consider ethics or morals in our daily work and are not too concerned about hurting feelings or if the actions of our manipulations harm someone emotionally. In fact, we hope it does. On that note: I finally was able to relax and watch a movie about such a subject: Ethics in Psychology. The movie was from 2015 called "Experimenter". Super awesome movie about the backlash of his experiments with social obedience to authority. Right down my field. Outside the strict moral code of couch psychology where you truly want to help others, did you see the movie and what do you think ethical practices in the study of social psychology should entail? Do you think that you must encourage trust in subjects even though it would cause a false result in the environment you have built??? Should this type of social psychology be barred from existence because there is a chance it could result in emotional harm?

I found a pallet of Cash.

If I found a cash pallet ($240 million) hidden by drug dealers, how can I use it without getting caught? Joe, Undisclosed Location Well Joe, my new best friend, You know that the money is tainted, so the best bet would let me take care of getting it back to the proper place. However, since you seem like a smart lad, you will most likely not go with that option. Here's what you need to do. First things first. Never tell anyone about it. I mean freaking no one. Even your best friend, girlfriend or mother. The less people who knows about it the better. ideally just one. You need to stash it somewhere, like what was suggested store it in chunks and in different places, mixing it with your old stuff or props. the more normal the better, never make look like its documents or something precious. Make it as harmless as it may be. Still never tell anyone. Never spend beyond your means, i know you would say WTF but believe me, questions will arise when you suddenly buy a new car. just wait. Now here is where my suggestion differs from the others. You can live comfortably and furnish your house with better but not over the top stuff. Just blend in.You can move to a better area. Rent. etc for now. You can award yourself with a monthly pension from the amount and basically never work again or worry about money, Keep a job for appearance sake. Never surprise anyone with lame excuses of good luck falling on you so you can buy a Ferrari or a Range Rover. People can see through that. Make your alibi as simple a possible, the more complicated the lie the bigger the chances of your messing up. With this plan, you could probably afford the good clothes, gadgets,food etc. as long as its not over the top. Then , you can launder the money to make it appear you earned the money by inserting small batches of the money into your business bank account and make it appear as legitimate income. Eventually, if you play it super smart that amount will be washed up within two years. Ready to be spent in the open. As for the possibility of the original owners tracing you. Better move to the farthest place from where you found the money and never return ever there. Also, if you had used a car, better have that car wrecked and destroyed in a yard. As much as possible never tell anyone where you are moving or make a excuse. Replace all your stuff with a bit better but again plausible spending habits. Yes i know where is the fun coming.Well, to be frank it wouldn't come, the fun part is that you can afford every-time new iPhones comes put, new street fashion stuff like Nikes etc…You can eat everywhere at least once.You may never really seriously need to work ever. If you have family, better ...

Gavotte

What the hell is a Gavotte.  I head it in a Carly Simon Song. Darv Lee The gavotte is a French folk dance that was popular in the late 16th century. It was somewhat majestic and pose-y, long before vogueing came into … well, vogue. Simon has stated in interviews that she pictured the character in her song making a dramatic entrance, one hand raised and the other on his hip, much like those elegant pantaloon-wearing Baroque folks did back in the day. So I'm guessing that if you can't Gavotte to the boogie woogie, then the song is for sure not about you.
