Quotation of the day

When a man ejaculates, his genitournary tract is bathed in a substance called prostatic antibacterial factor. It does a good job killing off pathogens. In a study of men with prostatitis who abstained from sex, a prescription of twice daily masturbation for six months provided moderate to complete relief for 78 percent of the 18 subjects...Bottom line: Men who struggle with chronic prostatitis must take their health into their own hands.

So much for the religious Christian prohibition against masturbation!

    That entry would have been so much funnier without the commentary. But that's because I have a soft-spot for quotes that make absolutely no sense removed from their immediate context.

    Just to be clear, Comedism has no such prohibition. Remember the words from Saint Mel in that sacred text, Blazing Saddles,

    "Oh Lord, can we really accomplish this great task in just one night or are we just jerking off?"

    "Amen."

    Anonymous, you must take your dirty, sinful ways away from my pristine eyes. Burn with Onan, foul seed-spiller!

    Thus spake the Prophet Michael Palin:

    Every sperm is sacred
    Every sperm is great
    When a sperm is wasted
    God gets quite irate

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.

Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.

I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.

Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.

I've already answered some typical comments.

I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
