Anal Sex, STD Dating Sites, and the Miracle Baby

Finalmente. I am able to post on the blog again. My sincerest apologies for a lack of posting over the past few days. I had a cardiovascular exam today (not on myself) and I now have free time again. Phew.

Over the past few days, the following thoughts have come to mind.......
1. Are photos of animals considered nude photos since they usually aren't wearing clothes?
2. Why I am I on a sugar cereal kick right now? I have been eating lots of cocoa pebbles and Cap'n Crunch.
3. Whilst it medical school, why don't they teach you about Medicare, Medicaid, Insurance Companies, etc? After all, it is the system we are going to be entering!!??!
4. Why does the coffee at the medical center cost so much? Seriously.
5. Are there canaries on the Canary Islands?
6. If their not there, then who is where and who is there?

3. Virginia to Require Vaccine for Girls

4. Miracle Baby Dies and then Comes Back To Life After 30 Minutes
"Doctors say they've never seen anything like it: A little boy who was pronounced dead came back to life 30 minutes later."

5. The last lovemaking taboo lifted?
"According to results of a federal study released two years ago, 40 percent of men and 35 percent of women surveyed in 2002 said they have had anal sex with an opposite-sex partner. An earlier study published in 1994 showed that among heterosexuals, 26 percent of men and 20 percent of women had ever engaged in anal sex. And if anecdotes by experts are to be believed, the numbers have boomed in the last few years."
