Movie? What are you smokin? Movie stars are supposed to be sexy, not sexually confused. or ugly, well, sometimes ugly if the plot demands it. But there's always a sexy one to keep the guys interested. Especially if there aren't any explosions or gun battles or car chases.

The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

It's actually standard for the Olympics after (I believe) some thing about the Bulgarians smuggling men onto the women's shotput team or some such. Well, who can tell with Bulgarians?

As I recall, the only person not demanded to subject themselves to a gender test was Princess Anne.

Twofer time!!

First up, Reality check: 95 percent of Americans had premarital sex

More than nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had premarital sex, according to a new study. The high rates extend even to women born in the 1940s, challenging perceptions that people were more chaste in the past.

Later on: "The data clearly show that the majority of older teens and adults have already had sex before marriage, which calls into question the federal government's funding of abstinence-only-until-marriage programs for 12- to 29-year-olds," Finer said

Secondly: UK report says robots will have rights

Visions of the status of robots around 2056 have emerged from one of 270 forward-looking papers sponsored by Sir David King, the UK government�s chief scientist. The paper covering robots� rights was written by a UK partnership of Outsights, the management consultancy, and Ipsos Mori, the opinion research organisation.
