...concerned about your suffering libido? Sexual frustration affects 106 percent of Harvard undergraduates, according to a recent study. Thankfully there is hope on the horizon in the form of a little crimson pill called Crimsex. Side effects are usually severe and may vary. Please consult your house tutor or freshman adviser before taking Crimsex. Crimsex may or may not actually alleviate sexual frustration...
...Black dogs are deemed the tastiest, and are also said to counter the effects of asthma and to stimulate the libido. Dogs are often cruelly killed - feet bound, clubbed unconscious and then slaughtered with a knife. Sometimes, their blood is drained to be drunk, ostensibly for medicinal reasons. Dog skin and innards are made into an appetizer by soaking them in vinegar, garlic and ginger. But dog meat is also roasted, stewed in the sour juice of the sampaloc fruit, or served adobo style - that is, with soy sauce and vinegar...
Farah also imagines the day when we have what she calls a "neuro-correctional system" that could transform criminals into noncriminals.

Other studies show that when pedophiles are not treated, nearly 18% of them offend again within three to five years...

It's somewhat like kickin' his [Hammer's]cat, so to speak." Actually, it's more like someone's saying, "That's not much of a cat you got," and Mike pulls the guy's guts through his nose. In Spillane, nearly every charged conversation between males escalates pronto into a fight. Hammer hits first. And, as J. Kenneth Van Dover notes in his astute, fairly critical Murder...
