Malcolm Gladwell on Snap Judgments: "Women, it was believed, simply could not play like men. [...] They didn't have the strength, the attitude, the resilience for certain kids of pieces. Their lips were different. Their lungs were less powerful. Their hands were smaller. That did not seem like a prejudice. It seemed like a fact." [Aaron Swartz: The Weblog]'

Lonely Housewives Want Me: "If my mailbox is any indication, at least. Apparently their husbands go on long business trips and never have time to "satisfy" them. Here's the funny thing. If my inbox is any indicator, I won't do a much better job than their husbands to. You see, it seems that I'm also in need of Viagra and numerous anti-depressants and pain medication. In other words, I must be pretty messed up. But these housewives? Wow, they must be really lonely." [Jeremy Zawodny's blog]
