Religion Is Like A Penis...

Religion is like a penis.


It's fine to have one.

It's fine to be proud of it.

But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around.

And PLEASE don't try to shove it down my throat.

WTF? The Royal Wedding Was Designed by Disney?

Note the similarity between the actual costumes worn at the royal wedding of William and Kate, and what is worn by cartoon characters. Coincidence?

Map Of Average Penis Size Around The World

This map illustrating the geographical distribution of average penis size by country has been whipping around the blogosphere recently.

Since all anyone cares about is the biggest and the smallest, here ya go:

The five most well-endowed nations are:The United States ranks somewhere in the lower-middle of the world penis-size rankings. The average American man has a penis length of 5.1 inches. South Korea is the most poorly endowed nation, coming in at 3.9 inches. Cambodia, Thailand, India, and Burma round out the bottom five.

Hmmm, maybe I need to plan another trip to South America (where Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela are) sooner rather than later....

Remember these are average sizes, so in any population there will be a normal distribution around this average. What we really need to know is how was this information collected (by outside observer or self-reporting) and what's the standard deviation for each number.

I think if most well-travelled gay men were to give their ranking of average penis size by country some other nations would make the top 5. Jus' sayin'.

Color-Coded Threat Level Chart To Be Eliminated

Finally!

The Obama Administration has announced that it will be eliminating the Bush-era, color-coded terror threat level chart.

From The Washington Post (Obama administration to replace color-coded terror alerts with new warning system):

The Obama administration announced Thursday that it will scrap the color-coded terror threat alert system that was put in place after Sept. 11, 2001, and that became a symbol of the nation's anxiety after the attacks.

In its place, the White House plans to introduce a new two-tiered warning system aimed at providing more specific information about emerging threats and appropriate ways to respond.

The change was announced by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in a speech at George Washington University. It marks the demise of one of the signature post-Sept. 11 initiatives of the George W. Bush administration.

"This means that the days are numbered for the automated recordings at airports, and announcements about a color code level that were, too often, accompanied by little practical information," Napolitano said, according to the text of her prepared remarks.
