Egbert, in the United States, we sequester our most promiscuous and most substance-abusing "students" into "fraternities" (boys) and "sororities" (girls) so that the actual students who go to university can learn without having a drunken orgy immediately next door -- those happen instead along "greek row", the handful of sacrificial houses that are used by the fraternities and sororities.

It works out for everyone because they're barely bothering the professors or students, mommy and daddy pay the tuition anyhow, and even though the fraternity and sorority kids don't learn much, they did build a good social network that will help them find work with their shiny, new, untested diploma.

Plus, it's a way for kids who can't be bothered with maths to learn a handful of Greek letters.

Students trying to join one are said to "rush", and are called "pledges".

Probably for the best to teach only the women -- it does force communication with each new partner, since us dopes surely won't remember which are weeds and which are crops when faced with a curvy thing.

Funny, my dentist discusses gum disease far more often than cavities, so adding this stuff to candy feels like an easy way to cut cavities among the laziest but grow huge disgusting inflamed gums in their stead. It'd probably be best to keep this a toothpaste additive.

I've read elsewhere [citation needed] that Autism is correlated with the age of the _parents_ as well as correlated with parent's math/science/programming proclivity. People start families a decade older now than, say, 1944. And the significantly stronger societal polarisation is more likely to bring together math/science/programmer types together than in, say, 1944.

Diagnosis has surely improved but I fully expect prevalence has also increased.

Looks less plastic than many celebrities.

Where they fall apart for me is really the eyes -- they shouldn't remain stationary long and should fix on a specific object when the head swivels.

Still, neat.
