...move back into their sewage-ravaged rooms, which, according to some, still reek. Speaking of stink, The Advocate (also known as “The Club” in the newly screened Ivory Tower) raised a stink one Saturday night as new initiates handed out golden apples as sexual invitations...apparently, ugly people need to make these things clear. Meanwhile one heavy-hitting dean’s son embarked on a little general education of his own...see page 18 for the mug shot. His coif certainly wasn’t as well swept as that of former Miss Teen...
...masterpieces. Anna’s relationship with Beethoven is confusing and awkward, ultimately detracting more than it contributes. I am by no means faint of heart when it comes to sappy romance, but the connection between Beethoven and Anna simply made me uncomfortable. One particular scene of unappealing sexual tension finds the copyist “lovingly” sponge-bathing the naked, overweight, ailing, and ancient Beethoven. Spare us. The acting job of Diane Kruger is also a letdown. The creation of her character was inherently risky, but she does a poor job selling it. Her emotion is forced...
...sexist, brought on by a 1979 article in which he called the Naval Academy's co-ed dorms a "horny woman's dream." Democrats have suggested, without any evidence, that Allen may have been arrested for domestic violence in the 1970's, while Republicans have attacked Webb for sexual scenes in his novels. These character attacks and odd controversies have detracted from the biggest difference between the two candidates on the issues, namely that Webb has long opposed the Iraq War, which Allen voted for in the Senate...

It is apparently worn because some Muslim men are so lacking in self-control that a mere glimpse of female flesh would drive them into a sexual frenzy. Since even animals do not behave that badly, I suggest that such men be put in cages in a zoo and the women be given their freedom and a little up-to-date education. After all, this is Britain in the 21st century, not the Arab world...
DAWKINS: Can I begin with an analogy? Most people understand that sexual lust has to do with propagating genes. Copulation in nature tends to lead to reproduction and so to more genetic copies. But in modern society, most copulations involve contraception, designed precisely to avoid reproduction. Altruism probably has origins like those of lust. In our prehistoric past, we would have lived in extended families, surrounded by kin whose interests we might have wanted to promote because they shared our genes. Now we live in big cities. We are not among kin nor people who will ever reciprocate our good...
