Is <a href="http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2007/06/circumcision_le.html">circumcision</a> something that we should routinely be doing to boys?<br /><br />Leaving aside religious reasons, and those few medically necessary times, this always ends up as a huge fight. Sure, <a href="http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2007/06/circumcision_le.html">circumcision</a> does lead to some protection against STDs and cancers. But on the other side it also leads to less sensitivity and thus, so many would say, lower sexual pleasure.<br /><br />Click through for the argument that talks us through this: it's highly probable that that desensitizing actually leads to more, not less, sexual pleasure.Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13590386.post-5326970656736158802007-06-02T08:54:00.000-07:002007-06-02T08:57:06.390-07:00Reading and WritingClearly this education stuff isn't working all that well as I've found out that a leading online search is for the phrase "<a href="http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2007/06/how_to_read_a_b.html">how to read a book</a>".<br /><br />Quite remarkable that the idea of opening the cover and then perusing all of the words in order until you get to the end appears too complex.<br /><br />Still, fortunately, over at the end of this link there is a filmed guide on <a href="http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2007/06/how_to_read_a_b.html">how to read a book</a>.<br /><br />Clearly, publishing the information as a pamphlet would cause problems, both in theory and in practice.Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13590386.post-55887889017943523472007-05-16T10:53:00.000-07:002007-05-16T10:55:09.555-07:00Too Many NudesNo doubt there's some artistic point to this that I've <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN0626494920070507">missed</a>:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A record 18,000 people took off their clothes to pose for U.S. photographic artist Spencer Tunick Sunday in Mexico City's Zocalo square, the heart of the ancient Aztec empire.</span><span style="font-style: italic;" id="midArticle_1"></span> <p style="font-style: italic;">Tunick, who has raised eyebrows by staging mass nude photo shoots in cities from Dusseldorf, Germany, to Caracas, smashed his previous record of 7,000 volunteers set in 2003 in Barcelona, Spain.</p><span style="font-style: italic;" id="midArticle_2"></span> <p style="font-style: italic;">Directing with a megaphone, Tunick shot a series of pictures with his Mexican models simultaneously raising their arms, then lying on their backs in the square as well as another scene on a side street with volunteers arranged in the shape of an arrow.</p><p>Well, whatever anyone wants to do of course, but why?<br /></p>Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13590386.post-75210411750405935232007-04-17T10:25:00.000-07:002007-04-17T10:28:39.434-07:00The Best Ringtone Service"Ringtones are surely among the Top features that somebody can download from the net.

Larry Birkhead sued Smith in October, demanding she have the paternity test because he believed he was the father of the baby girl she gave birth to in the Bahamas on September 7.</em> <p><em>* Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel, died in the Bahamas three days after the birth of her daughter. A pathologist hired by the model said he apparently died from a drug overdose.</em> <p><em>* Smith was Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993. In 1994, she married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall after meeting him at a strip club.</em> <p><em>* Marshall's death 14 months later set off a legal battle over his estate between Smith and her husband's son, E. Pierce Marshall, who died in June.</em> <p><em>* In May, Anna Nicole won a U.S. Supreme Court decision in the suit giving her another chance to collect millions of dollars.</em> <p><em>* She starred in a short-lived cable television reality series, "The Anna Nicole Show," from 2002 to 2004.</em> <p> </p> <div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:0d405c57-94b4-4b2c-b19c-59027721fb44" contenteditable="false" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px">Technorati tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/anna%20nicole%20smith" rel="tag">anna nicole smith</a></div>Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13590386.post-29700632196598190562007-02-02T10:16:00.001-08:002007-02-02T10:16:53.198-08:00K-Fed and that Divorce<p>Kevin Federling has rejected the divorce offer from <a href="http://www.itv.com/news/entertainment_9585669d083bb2c4ddfde76295b442f6.html">Britney Spears</a>:</p> <p><em>Britney Spears' estranged hubby Kevin Federline has reportedly turned down a divorce settlement which could have landed him $25 million (£12.7m).</em></p> <p><em>It is thought that K-Fed refused the offer because it would mean him cutting ties with his wife and their two children.</em> <p><em>The celebrity couple, who split in November last year, had reportedly recently agreed that Federline have physical custody of Jayden James and Sean Preston three times a week at Spear's home before the current offer.</em> <p>Jesu Christe, the boy's even dumber than anyone thought.

Rewarding not just in hte monetary sense (althought for that it helps if you getit right as well) but in the emotional one as well. There is nothing quite like thefeelingof satisfaction you get from knowing that the twenty or thirty people you employ all have jobs, can feed their families, just because of that bright idea you had and the hard work you put into it.<br /><br />An example wouldbethe guy on this page, Ben Padnos, a real example of an <a href="http://www.done.com/aboutus.html">internet entrepreneur</a>.Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13590386.post-1118499737634912292005-06-11T07:18:00.000-07:002005-06-11T07:22:17.636-07:00Melissa GilbertMeilissa Gilbert has been a professional actress since she was three years old.
