> [@bup](#): > > Pregnant women get psychotic in the second trimester. Data sample size: 1. Well, they did test the myth that Pretty Women don’t fart awhile back, using the same data sample size… (Yes, I do recall it was more what factors could cause an increase in passing gas, such as drinking more soda, eating more red meat etc., and Jamie & Adam also took part, but still…). ---

> [@Telperien](#): > > What a charming observation. Do your girlfriend and the other women in your life realize what low esteem you have for women, or do you manage to hide it from them? I can’t help but feel that’s a loaded question, so I’ll just go ahead and say yes. ---

I was going to say something rude in response so you’d know someone else thought it was an obnoxious question. But I couldn’t think of anything… so now I’m just telling you I thought it was an obnoxious question. ---

> [@Lightnin](#): > > Hell, if I’d tapped that, I’d be proud, too. I’m envious of the guy who did. Nothing wrong with that. It’s one thing\* to high five each other and grunt your appreciation on a message board, but I hope you would never talk like that to a woman in real life. Last year when my wife was carrying our first child, a guy she barely knew said to her, “I wish I would’ve gotten you pregnant.” It really bothered her. \*Pathetic ---

Last year when my wife was carrying our first child, a guy she barely knew said to her, “I wish I would’ve gotten you pregnant.” It really bothered her. > \*Pathetic Funny how everyone manages to miss the fact that a woman on the Board has already said “I send hearty congrats to the guy who tapped that.” Which means that there is at least one woman who doesn’t find the comment by **Rigamarole** offensive. Maybe it’s not something that’s so universally disgusting? ---

I’m sure her child will make it to adulthood with most of his or her extremities intact, and that’s the important thing, after all, right? ---

I wonder if, when they found out, anyone made the obvious “you know… Buster IS looking a bit scuzzy…” joke. And I wonder how hard she hit the one that said it.
