I'm imagining Robin Williams doing "The invention of sex" in very much the same way he did "The invention of golf."

"the female’s genital plates, which are very rough like cheese graters"

Sounds like the perfect collectible plate product partnership from the Wonket Bazaar and The Franklin Mint

Maybe they decided that having more money than half of the rest of America has in total, was enough? Haha - j.k.

Ummmm . . . if you go a site specifically because it advertises 16-year-old girls, you sure as hell aren't there for pix of girls who look 30. I'm all for nabbing pervs and pedos, but the entrapment aspect of the scheme, and the potential for abuse, is a bit disturbing. (Ends, means, etc.)

It's as important as having cheese grater-like "genital petals." I suspect that following the encounter, the L-shaped organ isn't quite as large anymore.

Both Rachel and EW are tough and unyielding in all the right places*. Neither one takes any bullsh!t from anyone.

*E.g, standards, values, vision and sense of purpose, etc..

The IBM Simon was created in Finland? Smartphones developed out of a convergence of PDA technology and cell phones. A significant amount of PDA and palmtop computing development was done by US, UK, Finnish companies and others. The 1990s and early 2000s were handheld computing's heyday. HHCs eventually morphed into smartphones.

Plus isn't most of it in the so-called "dark web"? These are sites that don't show up in any search index, are hidden behind multiple proxy servers and require multiple passwords so that they are not accessible via casual or even determined surfing by anyone who hasn't been granted specific privileges? No one can "stumble into" such sites. Site owners are very wary of cops and use every trick at their disposal to keep them out.

You think such individuals and their attitudes are a <i>new</i> invention?
