Sticks and stones

I just heard a six-year-old girl singing this song at the grocery store. Don’t get me wrong, this song is awesome and quite catchy, but how is this kid’s parents explaining this song to her?

Well, honey, that’s what you tell those bullies when they mess with ya…

penguins and promiscuity

Yes, folks, the animal kingdom has its very own red light district---Antarctica. Haha. Turns out some lady penguins are turning to prostitution to get rocks (a very hot commodity in Penguin Land, by the way) off their male counterparts. I suppose the economy hasn’t been kind to our tuxedo-wearing buddies as well. This is old news actually, but I just happened to recall this random bit of info as I watched a bunch of penguins frolic on TV at the exact time a certain Nelly Furtado song played in the background.

But don’t you fret, Chilly Willy lovers. The percentage of prostitute penguins is quite low. Also, certain types of penguins do keep the same mate for life while Emperor Penguins are monogamous…for a year.

"Okay…What do you want to talk about?”

Probably one of the most awkward questions to ask someone is "Have you had an STD test recently?" Maybe showing this chart during that really, really, awkward, uncomfortable moment might help any STD-phobe with their case:
