The Ten Commandments only forbid one particular type of lying, not lying in general. They only say you can't talk (untrue) smack about someone. Then of course they go on to forbid lusting after your neighbors ass.

I think I'll take a cue from you and post my own Nice Time pic, because JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY.

Say rather being eleven is no concern of theirs--she's a she, so obviously she's a whore in need of educating.

So, I am taking a beginner's python class. I had to break out of an inner nested loop, and for the life of me, was stumped for a while. I would have killed for a goto or gosub. Someone suggested using a function to return out of the loop, but I couldn't find an example, and couldn't understand it from the description.

I am always reading that kidney stones are as painful as childbirth, but since men were writing this I wasn't sure. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It astonishes me sometimes how much pain the human body can stand. I get annoyed when doctors ask me about my pain "on a scale of 1 to 10" because what is "7" for one person is "10" for someone else, if that someone else has not experienced really severe pain, as you did.

I don't agree. They all think life is sacred, and they get really upset when I tell them their ridiculous terminology is fine with me because life is NOT sacred. But I get your point.

It's the only time I've had pain bad enough that I vomited. And vomited. And vomited. And it came in waves, which might be considered contractions. But my little bundle of joy was so tiny compared to what women have to shoot out, I accept that it was probably nowhere near as painful. I just wish I had gone to the emergency room sooner, rather than lying on the bathroom floor and vomiting on myself all night. Oh, what good times stony and I had . . .

Funny you should say that. I was just working on my family tree, and all my 19th century ancestors had about 16 children each. They didn't need to buy slaves, they just made their own.

I had a uterine biopsy once. Doctor inserted a tiny instrument smaller than a pencil and said "This will hurt". It did more than hurt, I levitated off the table and couldn't speak. I asked him why it hurt so much 5 minutes later when I regained my speech and stopped wanting to kill him, and he said there are like 1000 nerves in the cervix. Suddenly I understood why the last stage of childbirth is so painful, when the baby's head is pressing on the cervix and squeezing through it. It was mind boggling. I cannot think of a single good reason why evolution put 1000 nerves in a woman's cervix. All the cervix does is keep infection out and let sperm through and keep a baby in until it is ready to be born. So why 1000 nerves????? Seems like overkill to me.

If it turns out there is a god after all, I'm going to go with "there are 1000 nerves because god is a guy, and he's a major asshole."

This crossed my mind too. If there is, and he is, he's going to get a piece of my mind when I meet up with him.

Don't forget to also give him swift kick in the goolies for me as well. I'm hoping to avoid heaven, as I've heard that's where Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, and the rest plan on spending their Deadcation.

My father used to say he didn't want to go to heaven, as all the interesting people and most of his friends would be in the other place, according to all the religious people he grew up with.
