This is what’s on my clipboard.

DISCLAIMER–I am an RN but these suggestions are offered from personal experience and are not to be interpreted as medical advice and as such are not meant to replace the advice of your physician.

It’s my standard blah blah I always put at the end of any medical type advice I give. I am told that if I don’t post a disclaimer and some numbnut does something stupid to himself saying “but Mermaid said it was OK” that I could be sued or some such shit.

As highly unlikely as that seems what would be even more unlikely would be that anyone would be able to actually collect anything from me. I mean you can’t get blood from a stone.

I will preserve myself, and am bethought  
To take the basest and most poorest shape   
That ever penury in contempt of man  
Brought near to beast. My face I’ll grime with filth,  
Blanket my loins, elf all my hair in knots  
And with presented nakedness outface  
The winds and persecutions of the sky. (2.2.177-183)

It’s a quote from _King Lear_ – I’m writing a paper on it. At least, I _should_ be. :eek:

It won’t give you a definitive answer tonight, but [SENSUIKAN!](http://www.combinedfleet.com/sensuikan.htm) aims to ultimately offer Tabular Records of Movement for all 174 WWII era IJN submarines. They are adding three per week, so in about a year it’ll be complete.

I sincerely doubt the story for all the reasons given by previous posters.

Is it always harmful to masturbate prone?

Yes. While much of the popular information about masturbation on the Internet promotes face-down masturbation as merely a variation, Dr. Sank says in his article that masturbation is supposed to be performed with the hand while lying supine, so TMS is always harmful. The challenge for the TMS sufferer is to learn to masturbate that way – every time – and to restore sensitivity to the penis for successful sex.

The very nature of TMS means that it can only be done in bed. Normal males can masturbate almost anywhere

Hmmm… I am not sure where that came from…

> The underlying form was therefore to be found in the subordinate clause because the COMP position was filled by a complementizer. This theory was influenced by earlier work on the canonical word order in German. The latest theory, proposed in the early 1990s, now holds that the order found embedded clauses is the result of transformations and thus cannot be considered as evidence for word order. Ignoring the embedded sentences, Dutch patterns very much like English, which is definitely an SVO language.

Oh my! This is from the paper I’m writing about Dutch for my Languages of the World class.

OMG, a link to some really hideous wedding invitations my sister sent me to make me laugh – or gross me out, I don’t know which. Well, they’re not _my_ style, anyway.

And now my sig is on my clipboard, since I copy and paste it in each post instead of putting it in my profile…
