"A study in the late 1980s showed that men use sexual jokes as a way of verbally undressing a woman who rebuts his advances; his humour was aggressive in essence." More @ source.

POPSLiving pictures formed by 1000s of returning U.S. soldiers in WWI Images. Englishman Arthur S Mole and his American colleague John D Thomas took these incredible pictures of thousands of soldiers forming icons of American history. Arthur's great nephew Joseph Mole, 70, says: "In the picture of the Statue of Liberty there are 18,000 men: 12,000 of them in the torch alone, but just 17 at the base. The men at the top of the picture are actually half a mile away from the men at the bottom"

Originally planned for Woodstock, New York -- that's how the festival got its name -- it was ultimately moved to the small town of Bethel, New York.

POPS"Clean me" - dirty car art by Scott Wade Drawings using dirt ? I'm impressed! I love black & white drawings and Scott Wade is very talented. But ....personally, the impermanence of it (his drawings being washed away) would be too hard to take after spending hours on it. Very good thing that his day job is a graphic designer.
