The Love Doctor

The Love Doctor Dear Love Doctor,

What makes one person constantly horny and someone else bored with the whole thing?

Signed,

Sexed Up


Dear Sexed,

Scientists say they've now discovered the answer to your sex drive, and that is proportional to the size of a part of your brain.

Australian researchers from the University of Melbourne believe the size of the amygdala, a miniature "emotion" center that is nestled at the base of the brain may determine how much sex a person wants, reports Nature News Service.

As small as an almond, the amygdala has long been known to process our reactions to fear.

Previous studies have shown, for example, that the amygdala is stimulated by erotic movies, and it's considered vital for mating behavior in many animals.

The Australian team, led by David Reutens, scanned the brains of 45 patients who had chronic epilepsy, which is known to short-circuit sex drive.

Nature News notes that as part of the treatment for epilepsy, each had undergone surgery to remove part of his or her brain, which freed up the remaining areas to run more normally.

Those patients who had the greatest amount of amygdala left intact after the surgery also had the greatest sex drives. Reutens suggests this means the amygdala boosts the likelihood of a sexual trigger that leads to arousal.

Say What?

To my darling husband,

Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not to bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me.

I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway, I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

I am really sorry but I know with your kind hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweet heart.

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

Your loving wife.

World's biggest rubber band ball

A US man has made the world's biggest rubber band ball. World's biggest rubber band ball Steve Milton, of Eugene, Oregon, created the ball out of more than 175,000 rubber bands. Guinness accepted it as a record breaker after it tipped the scales at 4,594lbs at a Chicago weigh-in. The mammoth ball, which has a circumference of 19ft, broke the former record set by John Bain, whose ball weighed in at 3,120lbs. The 26-year-old started his ball in November 2005 with just a few small rubberbands. "It was just a great project with me and my kids," said Mr Milton, who worked on the ball with his six-year-old son, Bryce Milton, and his fiancee's son, Austin Johnson, 7. "We did a little bit of research on how big rubber band balls are, and realised there was one out there that was 3,120 pounds and we knew we could do it."

Scientology Challenge

The following does not represent the views of The Wizard and is just posted to get some conversation going.... 

The image you see to the right (Click on it to get a larger view) is the first page of what is supposedly the most important document in the world. At least according to Scientologists. Scientology DocumentThe going rate for reaching the level of idiocy in the church to be able to view this document (and the 20 other pages that follow it) is close to 300,000$. 

It is said in their doctrine that simply by viewing this page, you might not be able to handle it and could possibly die. If anyone does happen to have their head explode because the knowledge contained within these chicken scratchings was just too much for their feeble mind, I take full responsibility. This image will probably only be up for as long as it takes for the scientologists to find it and contact our developers over the copyright they hold on this document, even though it is not hosted by us. 

Something like this will probably get me a spot on their blacklist. By their own leader’s writings, they are known and obligated to attack those who do not agree with them. This is an excerpt from a secret scientology document released in 1969: “It is wise to challenge such adverse commentators as routine procedures. A call by a local "housewives committee", etc. as to why they are hostile to human rights or in favor of psychiatric butchery and getting them in the press with it and with no mention of us is good PRO.” 

I doubt Mr. Hubbard knew who he would be fu*king with when he wrote that. I am Zero; Tom Cruise, fu*k off. Try me. Bring it. Do your best to discredit me and make me disappear. It won’t happen. My readers don’t give two sh*ts about you or your stupid religion. They feel the same way as I do about your cockamamie, bullshit story that you have tried to pass off as a religion for the past 50 years. 

As a matter of fact, I wonder how they would like a taste of their own medicine. That’s right, I wonder how they would like the dirty tactics they use on otherwise respectable journalists who try to expose their bullshit used on them? Email floods maybe? DD0s attacks? Maybe just a bunch of us showing up at their stupid churches and kicking some ass? That’s all illegal, and I could never advocate illegal activities. 

I have a better idea. I herby challenge Tom Cruise to a boxing match. Yes Tom, I am saying I can kick your ass and I don’t need three rounds to do it in. You will be begging for the towel by the middle of round one. We’re about the same size, same weight and all that, it will be totally fair. If Tom beats me, I will never write again. Come on Tom, unless of course you are a pussy… 

Of course, I am just an insignificant internet writer. The people who read my work aren’t the kind who has tons of extra dough. They are like me, just normal people trying to make it in this f*cked up world. Why would someone like Tom Cruise care what we think about him? Why would he give two sh*ts about what a hack like me has to say? First of all because him and his cronies are a violent religion. I count them worse than the Muslims or the Christians. 

Plus, he has the advantage. He has the money to buy the best training in the world. All I have is some guys I know that run a fight club every Monday at a bar here in Denver. Also, I smoke like a god damn locomotive. The Vegas odds makers will definitely have Tom in two. He is mission impossible, the last time I had a fight I was drunk two years ago. He has the clear advantage. He supposedly has “god-like” powers from reaching the highest level of Scientology. It would prove that his religion is right if he could devastate me with one punch. 

Little does he know, pirates don’t go down so easily. It didn’t have to be me, it could be any random dude on this site. But since I am the self proclaimed leader, I will fight the wars I declare on the front lines. So, why would he agree to something like this? Because I am representative of the millions (and millions) of people who are not only dissing his stupid religion but also downloading his stupid movies for free. I stand at the front of the people he hates. 

Besides, I’m mocking his religion. I’m calling them all pansies! As an under card, any of his fellow douchebags that want a piece can take on one of the random pirate ninjas that frequent this site. We will sweep the matches and prove that their god-like powers are crap used to sell t-shirts. Mr. Womp, our resident kicker of asses, has officially issued his own challenge for this editorial to John Travolta. We declared war a while ago, now we have issued a challenge and await a response. 

A non response is the same as a victory for us. If we don’t get some kind of an answer in the next week, we will consider them yellow.

KNOW YOUR MATH

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver, who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out is window and gave the woman the finger.
 
 "Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why:
 
 I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway. There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.
 
 Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day. Statistically, females drive half of these. That's 18,000 women drivers!
 
 In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642. According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449.
 
 According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98. And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.
 
 According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.
 
 That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.
 
 Give her the finger? I don't think so.

Not everyone speaks English!

Below is a pie chart of the language breakdown of those visiting 'OZ'... English is about 2/3...

OZ Visitors broken down via language

Cool, eh? Keep in mind, these are OS languages... the english includes those in foreign lands that have English versions of Windows, Linux etc...

Think before you speak!

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak.
       
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back...or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are the testimonials of a few people who did....

FIRST TESTIMONY:

I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.  I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.  After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store.  He asked if he could help me.  Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."

SECOND TESTIMONY:

My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts.  As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.  I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts."  My sister started to laugh hysterically.  The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.

THIRD TESTIMONY:

While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok.  I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons.  I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!"

The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.  Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.  I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FOURTH TESTIMONY:

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly.  One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room.  While enjoying my taco, I  smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean. I then realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while.  I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No."  I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me."  Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?"  "No," he replied.  I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse.  Soooooo, I asked one more time, "Danny did you have an accident? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"

While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly  pulled up his pants and sat down.  An old couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

FIFTH TESTIMONY:

I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?"  I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word...he knew better.



LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:

This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks.
       
What happens when you predict snow but don't get any! We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"  Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

Now, didn't that feel good?

Euro-English

The EU Commission and Great Britain have just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations with Britain (not being a part of the EU),  the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English":

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

As I Mature
