Seriously — the "leanest" state has almost 1/5 of its population obese? Sure, it's better than the 1/3 on the other side of the spectrum but it's horrible either way.

That is kind of eerie.

One time I had a babysitter shove a cupcake up my nose.

It's not Buffy/Faith, it's Buffy/Xander. And yeah, the vid was pretty rad.

Preserving a balance doesn't mean destroying humans. Don't be so arrogant.

With that much weight he'd still be wasting fuel.

And it drives me crazy when people are like, "Oh, I know it's dangerous but I'm a good driver." Even if that's true, you're not the only person on the road! Someone could easily hit you from any side and your unseatbelted kid is going to go flying and die on impact just because you didn't bother to obey the law.

Times like this make me proud to be a Floridian.

We watched this in my 5th grade DARE program, but I had forgotten about it.

@Alex Fear: True, but in those cases the names were usually chosen by someone else, not the person him/herself. It's a little more pretentious to give yourself a name like that.

@ Infomercials: No, because my explanation actually answers the question, and theirs doesn't. There's nothing complicated about an attraction to excitement. Rollercoasters, fast cars, dance clubs, etc. can all attest to that. But to say that "bad boys are more attractive because they ensnare more women" is not really the point. It's not the number of people they've had before you that's the attraction. It seems like with the study they're trying to answer why bad boys might have more partners in general, which isn't too surprising either (bad boys would be less worried about consequences). So basically, they're asking one question and answering another.

I think they're thinking too hard with this study. It's much simpler: just about everyone has a secret fantasy of living dangerously with no regard for consequences. Bad boys live that way and, at least on the surface, offer a chance for nice girls to live that way too (maybe just for a night).

Exact same thing with bad girls & good boys. It's just an attraction to excitement. Hardly rocket science. However, it's not likely to lead to true happiness so much as a string of one-night stands, so it's not really that enticing to me. I'm only attracted insofar as fictional characters.. in real life, I much prefer my nice-guy fiancé, thanks.

I'm actually a big fan of bumper stickers. a) it gives me something to look at when I'm in traffic, and b) it's interesting to see the diversity of people around, especially as compared to the cars themselves (i.e. sometimes you'll see particular stickers on makes of cars you wouldn't expect to see them on). I try not to get too political with mine (click my name for a picture), mostly because I don't want anyone getting ragey on me and/or keying my car when it's parked. But I do wonder sometimes if other people get the fannish ones I have. I see a lot more of the Apple sticker than I used to, which is cool.

My fiancé plays the game, so clearly not everyone "needs to get a girlfriend." If you've actually seen the chicks in the game and consider them girlfriend material, then your idea of a date probably involves whips and chains so being a gamer isn't really the concern.

@ Neatoramawontsendmeapassword: Actually, a better comparison is a male's Speedo vs. a female's bikini top. There's all kinds of clinging and defining going on there, and no one seems to mind one bit.

I'm no fan of Speedos, but a citation? For "trespassing"? Are you kidding me? Find some real crime to fight.

And WTF with all the Florida hate? It's not like we all hang out at the beach every day, jeeze. Personally I hate the beach, and I grew up in Daytona.

@Jorge: As a Floridian I object to your comment. =P
