Intellectual Pick-Up Lines
- "Society is organized in such a way that the natural instincts of men are shameful and criminal while the natural instincts of women are mostly legal and acceptable." -- Scott Adams, Pegs and Holes
- The Heated Genre of Blood, Tits and Scowling The beauty of Blood, Tits and Scowling as a genre is that, when you put them all together, it creates a perpetual engine for drama.
- American race panic, if you’re not raised with it, seems a bit odd, like the Chinese obsession with “face” or Muslims fretting about women showing their hair—a quirk of the national character.
- Modern paganism is not paganism at all , but postchristianism, a corruption of a higher thing falling, not the innocent early growth of a low thing rising.
- I've had the phrase 'Weaponized Bio-Whore' stuck in my brain for weeks and finally photoshopped it out of my head where it can cease wreaking havoc on my gray cells.
- World's biggest jigsaw puzzle is put back together "We were facing a three-dimensional puzzle, a 300,000-piece puzzle to which we had lost the picture. And that was the main difficulty of this project."
- “Democracies endure until the citizens care more for what the state can give them than for its ability to defend rich and poor alike; until they care more for their privileges than their responsibilities; until they learn they can vote largess from the public treasury and use the state as an instrument for plundering, first those who have wealth, then those who create it” -- Jerry Pournelle.

Your Say
Re: 'Weaponized Bio-Whore'
At the link:
Her code name was simply 'Gilda' and she was the CIA's most effective weaponized bio-whore of the late 1950s.
Deliberately infected with a genetically modified herpes virus...., Gilda cut a deadly swath through the Canadian diplomatic corps for a record three decades.
Could Gilda be Gerta (Munsinger), an East German prostitute and Soviet spy, who was at the center of a sex scandal in Ottawa during the 1950s?
The Gerta Munsinger story makes excellent reading.
