Well, I'm at the ER again. I'm not sure how many bones are broken but there are indeed broken bones so today is no longer a good day.

I decided to go horseback riding - something I haven't done in a long time, and it turned out to be a mistake. I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then we went a little faster and before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go.

I couldn't keep control and lost my grip and fell off, but caught my foot in the stirrup wi...th the horse dragging me through dirt and rock and it just wasn't a good time.

Thankfully the manager at Toys-R-Us came out and unplugged the machine. He actually had the nerve to take the rest of my change so I wouldn't attempt to ride the elephant.

So money made him realize he was wrong the first time around?

 

Mmm, the two are not mutually exclusive. See epigenetics for example.

True, but gender in particular is a broader term that encompasses more than just biological sex and deals with matters social, cultural, psychological and so on, which can be determined by a biological factor as much as it can by others. Anyhow I'll drop this since it isn't the thread to discuss the matter.

well, its up to definition, it was usually used as synonym for sex, but it seems people like to redefine this word lately

 

at least in my language there is only one word for sex = gender, we have something which is called 'rod' which is used in grammar (she,he,it)

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

In my first language (Spanish) the matter of "man" or "woman" or "male" or "female" is addressed with far greater frequency as "sexo", but "género" is still a thing and is used to address more specifically the social/psychological/behavioural aspects of gender. All the same the difference between the terms, though slight, exists in English, and while I woudn't mind people using the words interchangeably in a day-to-day basis (because, despite this post, I'm not pedantic about it), you expect them to be used accurately in a context like a science show (or one attributed to a science show anyhow).

You don't know who Bill Nye is?

 

He actually got his start around these parts (Seattle), and we saw him on the popular local comedy show Almost Live. Quite the humorous guy, and his science presentations were almost always entertaining. Unfortunately, as of late he gets a lot of negative press from the anti-science types. A sign of these recidivistic times, I guess.

Does having a US syndicated TV show for 5 years really lead to world-wide recognition?

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
