Guinea pigs are great for experiments.

guinea pigs are odd
creatures, eating everything
quite like a shredder.

@gwiz665
That's what I told myself when I had to go through the procedure at Hamburg airport last month. They are using these scanners experimentally, so you actually get to pick if you pass through the scanner or accept a classic pat down. As if to punish folks who don't like to be guinea pigs, they appear to be searching people quite thoroughly nowadays.

Back to the point though, the fantasy of having a young female security employee give your crotch a quick once-over makes it less unappealing. Like Jimmy Carr says, "don't neglect the balls". But that bubble bursts when reality catches up with you and some dude is manhandling your balls.

If that's the way they treat an average Caucasian guy over here, Dave Chappelle's description of police encounters might become the standard welcoming procedure after the arrival in the US: "spread your cheeks and lift your sack!".

Anyway, next time I'm visiting a friend in England, I'll take the 8 1/2 hour train ride, thank you very much.

that there is a smart looking Guinea pig.

Wasn't a very long workout. :-/

I actually just read in A.J. Jacobs "Guinea Pig Diaries" that multi-tasking is bad for your brain. I can't remember the specifics and I'm too lazy to go get the book but, interesting notion.

Alternate title: three guinea pigs, one cucumber.

My name is Laura. I have a little boy named Brennan who is just over a month old. My boyfriend and I have been together for two years come November. We work fast!

I have a wonderful kitty named Gojira who is part lynx and has a very squishy nub tail--everyone asks when he lost the rest of his tail, but he never had a long tail to begin with! He's the light of my life and I consider him my first born son. Yeah, I know. I'm cat lady material. I also have a part husky, part boxer dog named Stanley Cup. Yes, we are hockey fans! My boyfriend has limited the amount of pets I can have or else I'd fill the house with reptiles and rescued animals. I had an opossum who killed himself. He crawled into the back of my mini-fridge. I've also had a raccoon. I've had a chipmunk. I've had bunnies, snakes, guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, lizards of many creeds and colors, birds, you name it! I've tried to save so many birds and rodents who my parent's cats mangled. I feed all the stray animals in my neighborhood, including coyotes, to the chagrin of my neighbors. >:]

I love love LOVE to read.

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. Not a bad town by any means. Just boring. But clean! I live on the far east side at the edge of the town, where cornfields and countryside begin.

I have a deep, abiding love of video games. I play WoW, although my raid members are upset with me because I haven't logged on since my son was born. Hard to commit when you have a little human completely dependent on you.

I work for my mother, who owns an insurance agency. I do everything I can to keep her organized.

I can't think of anything else to add, so that sums it up!

You know what, you almost make me want to stay. Just so I can produce relentless vomit inducing profile colours and PM you all the live long day, causing untold suffering!

Thanks man, you know I love ya. Always did. You are the dogs bollocks and the guinea pigs scrotum. And perhaps at some point i'll be back, just right now it isn't looking likely any time soon. But you know where I am love, and I know where you are. And when i'm bored i'll be sure to lurk and stalk and keep up on you weirdos, make sure you're all behaving yourselves...

Chin up me old china, no need to get in a two and eight about it, guv'nor

You know, sister? First and foremost, your page hurts my eyeballs. No offense, but it's so bright that it could awaken Plato's dead homosexual philosophical penis.

Okay, seriously now, PLEASE don't leave us. I, along with SO many others, will mourn your loss. I love your candor and earthy realism. It's like a shot of whiskey after being on the ice: Warm, biting, and invigorating. You don't mince words. You call a spade a spade. And you'd kick the Prime Minister in the balls if he pissed you off on a bad day.

So don't leave us. Now is not the time to be passive-aggressive. I'm not saying this is a call to arms. But please don't leave because of one member.

You're the cat's meow. The bee's knees. The boulder's shoulder. (Okay, that last one didn't work out so well.) Just don't head out on the ice without intentions of return. Right now I'm searching for a witty yet gripping way to end this ill-written missive, but all I can come up with is "Please?"

caution is rarely a bad thing, but media sensationalism in this day and age is becoming tiresome...

that said, i would have worded the summary differently, and imho more accurately:

A warning that the new swine flu jab is [may also be] linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter. A different, though similar, swine flu vaccine was linked to the nerve disease GBS in the swine flu epidemic of 1976.

you see, the change in wording is very small, yet changes the context quite a bit

as well, the caution (in the uncorrected and sensationalist version) would have the reader assume that 1) modern medicine has learned nothing about swine flu vaccines and GBS in the intervening 33 years, and 2) whereas the first vaccine may have had deadly side-affects through vaccination ignorance, that this new vaccine is being administered with wanton disregard for the public's safety in light of problems with the similar vaccine administered 33 years previously (i.e. we're just the government's guinea pigs)

The guinea pig guy is gaining a benefit from religion... he feels his role has purpose, so he's able to perform it better, and stay optimistic.

He could gain that same benefit without having to believe in untrue things by intellectually understanding the value of his role in the larger system. Also, a rational agent (see game theory) would generally be optimistic anyway.

That has got to be fake. If not, those people should be charged with endangering that infant, and have it taken away. Someone should use them as guinea pigs to test a bulletproof easy chair.


I'm really hoping your comment is fake.
Seriously, the fact that anyone even asks the question scares me.

Success! I honestly think that if they were terrified, they would just be huddled in there and not running around like normal.. I have a couple guinea pigs and when they get scared they just hunker down and look unhappy. These guys seem content just cruising around in their cars

(sorry for spamming your page)
