I was reading about the health benefits of earwax, and now I'm a little paranoid.  I've never had earwax in my life.  I clean them every day and there is nothing ever on the q-tip.  I wonder how common that is...

At least accordin' to the doc I went to when I had an ear infection, q-tips are actually more or less pretty bad for your ears. Cleaning like that can cause abnormally high wax production due to irritation and whatnot, as well as having a chance to cause physical damage to the inside bitsies. There's probably a warning on your q-tip box whatsit about that, actually -- the one we've got here pretty specifically says to not stick the thing in your ear. If you're not really seeing thing after a shower or whatev', it's likely you've just washed it out during rather than there not actually being wax production going on... though if there isn't, y'might want to check with a doc or somethin'.

Along with that, the wax is kinda' there for a reason, annoying as it often is. I've forgotten what the reason was, but *shrugs*

Probably to protect and seal the inner ear.

Q-Tips are actually good for your ears.

BUT! only the part of the ear you can see.

They are not meant to be put inside your ear. Mind you there are better tools for cleaning the outside of your ears... I saw one once it is a weird hook thing.

I think it was a really indirect and meandering way of saying that white people are more evolved than black people.

[Rolan7]

Surprisingly not.  It's more like "Evolution is a tree, and genetic traits are like... branches, somehow.  50 Cent got traits from the gorilla branch.  Bush got traits from the chimpanzee branch.  Also, I can't even spell my own made up words consistently, much less real ones."

"Also humanity is great because we carry traits from proto-life, or proto-mammals maybe, I'm so high right now"
Wait no more like "Humanity is great because we have a high potential to form new genetic traits."  Which...  maybe the author's a transhumanist?

Terribly articulated and incorrect, but not actually racist or offensive except to two funny-looking people.

The comments, as always, are gold.

Maybe the phonekin and modemkin could wage bitter argumentative wars across the overnet.

I would love to read this argument. Just sayin.

A follow-up: I just had one of these, and aside from the fact that I think I put on too much pepper, it was quite tasty.

This is too good to just be bread and butter. There is evil sorcery at play here.

Yeah, they ain't bad! I'm eating one now to see what all the fuss is about.
I dunno about "too good to just be bread and butter", though. Plain ol' butter on toast is quite tasty already.

Good run, suggestion game that I never touched and was relatively sure would go on forever.

Half-life 3 confirmed.

[Frumple]

Y'know, in retrospect, I'm kinda' surprised there hasn't been an official announcement for Half-life 4 today.

At this point, that's totally what they should do. Just outright skip over a number. Never release HL3, just jump right on to HL4 and keep going.
