i wonder why they removed the testosterone and estrogen episode?
I grew up born 1970 as an insecure girl surrounded by boys then men, struggling to be taken seriously as a smart pretty blonde valued mostly for my easiest and most easily exploited attributes. Schultz got Lucy more than most men of his age. I like her black hair and athletic ability. I had to mean it and sometimes be mean. Schultz had a daughter, hopefully whole, seldom but sometimes apologetic. Boy, I could saved some money at 10 cents a pop. Lucy helped me laugh at myself, love my brothers.
does the amount of water cows drink actually matter, (as in the criticism of the consumption of steaks etc.)? Isn't it true that even if you don't kill the animal for food, it still drinks the same amount of water? Unless the WEF makes cows go extinct, the cow will continue to drink large amounts of water.
By carefully watching people over the decades, I believe that a depopulation programme will be initiated. It only makes sense since everyone is so afraid of overpopulation, and the world economic forum is the driving force to create the new world order. I warned my kids in 2010 that you will not recognise the world in 2020 and that has passed. I have no illusions about what is going to take place. Pretty soon, Christ will be Hitler and blood will flow from catholics who won't bow to the emperor
Please don't talk about stuff that you have bias towards. You sound one-sided and silly.

why don't you guys spearhead a petition for a formal redress of grievances before Congress to demand that each state enforce a voter ID and ubiquitous voting procedures.. I think this was the first attempt at interference with our elections.. keep the electoral collage, it balances the higher density cities to rural American populace
Needs fact check. Fission VS fusion. Submarine VS aircraft carrier... Etc Good episode though about a brilliant kid. Sad he never was able to find his place in this world.
a sad Sheldon Cooper story :(
I LOVED this story.
"Pregnant people"? Really? :/ Only biological women can become pregnant...
this assumes that if government doesn't do a thing, that thong can't be done. The FDA is wholly owned by big pharma, and the major food processors. People very wrongly assume that because the FDA approved it, it must be safe. Remember that every product the FDA has recalled is a product they previously claimed was safe. There 10,000s of them.
You've said enough. Free Ted now!!!
Guys. Dead bodies STINK! Dead bodies also attract predators. It only makes sense to get a dead body far away from you and bury it so animals and you can't smell it. Absolutely no germ theory necessary to come to this conclusion. Dead bodies smell very bad. Tuk tuk wouldn't just leave Muk Muk's dead body laying around the fire.
Philips CD-i had a CD-ROM version of Clue in the 1990s.
