Most Enlightening GQ Article
Since when did GQ hire Maxim editors? Well I don’t know but this month’s article “The Legend of the Dirty Sanchez” sure gave me a good laugh.
As always, here’s the article for your reading pleasure.
The following article is rated Mature because I said so & because it contains sexual references.

Words to Live By

Advertising a Country
There comes a point in life when it hits you – the crude distasteful humor generated by stereotyping genres, classically affliated with magazines like Maxim or FHM, is no longer funny. Instead lo and behold, you flip open BusinessWeek and spot an unusual advertisement and next thing you know you’re laughing yourself to sleep while noting that the next morning you must write a blog entry.
Enter the culprit:
Never have I witnessed a country, an entire country, advertising itself on one magazine page – shouting out boldly “We Need Your Money!” Perhaps the world changed and I was too immersed in college to have noticed. Or perhaps this is an out cry for a country left in the dust by an enconomic and political trend favoring east asia.

Goose Bumps?
We’ve all had them and felt them. Ever wondered just what exactly are goose bumps?
MedicineNet says:
“Goose bumps are a temporary local change in the skin. The chain of events leading to this skin change starts with a stimulus such as cold or fear. That stimulus causes a nerve discharge from an involuntary portion of the nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system. The nerve discharge causes contraction of little muscles called the arrectores pilorum (the hair erector muscles). Contraction of these muscles elevates the hair follicles above the rest of the skin. And it is these tiny elevations we perceive as goose bumps.
A similar phenomenon, bristling, in fur-covered animals may have made them look larger and more frightening and kept them warmer by increasing the amount of air between hairs which traps body heat. But in people there seems to be no practical purpose for goosebumps except, of course, to make our skin crawl!”
