There are 303,156,253 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That's a lot of people.

The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.

There are 50,062 people named John Smith in the United States. There are 1,059 people named James Bond, 114 people named Harry Potter , 509 people named George Bush, and 32 people named Emily Dickinson. However, Johnny Cash (39 people) songs aside there are, statistically speaking, very few boys named Sue.

What's Your Inner Color?

Well you learn something new every day. I was watching Modern Marvels on the History Channel tonight, and the topic was the technology of sex. It was all about how humans throughout history have adapted whatever technological advances to sex.

The most amusing segment was on the history of the vibrator. I didn't know that vibrators were originally invented in the Victorian 1880's as a medical device.

Dating back to the time of Hippocrates, women were diagnosed with the condition called "hysteria." The prescribed treatment for hysteria was vulvular massage, bringing about what was called "hysterical paroxysm."

The doctor would perform the vulvular massage in his office, usually by hand. It was a very time consuming and labor intensive procedure, taking up to an hour to bring the lady to hysterical paroxysm. And most women had to return week after week for repeat procedures. As more and more women came down with hysteria, something had to be done. There was simply not enough time in the day to take care of all the patients.

So, doctors began looking at ways to mechanize the procedure.

Hydrotherapy became a popular treatment. Doctors would shoot a stream of water directly at the patient's vagina. This treatment, while fashionable, had its drawbacks. One being that it was very messy.

Then, in the 1880's, a British physician stepped to plate and developed the first electric vibrator, pictured here:
This device was designed to be a permanent fixture in the doctor's office. With it, the doctor could stimulate his patient to hysterical paroxysm in 10 minutes or less.

It's a good thing this came along, because history shows that about the time it was invented, an epidemic of hysteria swept across Europe and America.

Get Over Yourself!

Why do some guys insist on being so negative in their online profiles? Every now and then, and it seems to be happening with increasing regularity, I'll run across an online profile that is so bitchy and negative that I have to wonder why does the guy even bother? Why not just put a line in there that says "I'm a mean, bitter person. Don't bother me."

I was browsing through some profiles on Silverdaddies today and came across one that just set me off. It was a full page diatribe about what he doesn't like. Included in the diatribe was a list of his most hated emails, which he included in the profile. I can't imagine anyone would respond to him after reading his negative bullshit.

I understand the frustration of getting messages from guys that you have no desire to talk to. It happens all the time. My favorites are when someone messages me and says "I'm looking for a big dominant top." I want to ask him "did you even bother to read my profile?" Another of my favorites is when I get a message from someone in Madagascar or Russia who wants to be my lover. When the hell am I ever going to get to either place????

Anyway, I just shrug it off, act polite but disinterested, hit the ignore button, and chalk it up to the cost of doing business online.

For most people, the purpose of online profiles is to meet people, whether they be friends, lovers, a quick fuck, etc. In that regard, profiles are like resumes. One should put ones best foot forward and make the best impression one can. You only have a few seconds to impress someone.

If that's not why you're there, do us all a favor and resort to the "I'm a mean, bitter person" line and don't waste your time or ours.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. There is an interesting study by California-based research firm The Bama Group regarding the attitudes of American youth toward modern-day Christianity, and it's not good. According to the study, the vast majority of Americans 16-29 are turned off by the church because of its hatred toward gay people. They feel modern-day Christianity is judgmental, hypocritical, and anti-gay.

Of non-Christians, 91% said Christianity was anti-gay, 87% said it was judgmental, and 85% said it was hypocritical. Even among active church goers, 80% said it was anti-gay, 52% said it was judgmental, and 47% said it was hypocritical. Many young people don't even like to call themselves Christians because of the negative baggage attached to it. They prefer labels like "follower of Christ."

This is bad news for modern Christianity because these young people are the future. As long as the church continues its vitriolic hatred of gays, it will become less and less appealing to this future generation of Christians. Case in point is this ad for traditionalvalues.org:

Jesus NEVER SAID ONE WORD ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY in the Bible. Not one. Anyone who has read the Gospels knows that he preached against the religious establishment. He treated those who were considered sinners with love and respect.

For years, I have stated that modern-day Christianity has abandoned the principles of Christ. All they are concerned about is condemning others, raising a lot of money, and getting involved in politics. Kind of sounds like the religious establishment of Jesus' day.

The Fundies Are At It Again

I swear, I am quickly coming to the conclusion that every right-wing Christian fanatic is nothing more than a sex perv wrapped in sheep's clothing.

This story came out of Montgomery, Alabama. The Rev. Gary Aldridge, pastor of Thorington Road Baptist Church, was found dead in his home after he failed to show up for church on Sunday.

What the police found is something right of an Amsterdam sex club. The good reverend had apparently been involved in some kind of auto-erotic asphyxiation thing. At least that's what the coroner's report stated. He was hogtied, wrapped in a wetsuit and mask, and had a dildo inserted in his ass. This is all stuff from the police report. I'm not making this shit up.

Not only was this perv a leader in the Montgomery Baptist community, he was also a former pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, the church founded and headed by none other than Jerry Falwell.

The Montgomery Police say there is no evidence of foul play, and they don't believe anyone was with him when this happened. But I have to ask the question: HOW DOES ONE HOGTIE ONESELF?????????

Someone had to be involved, and I'll bet you anything it was a MAN baby!

Why on Earth are we trying to piss off Turkey? One of the few friends we have left, particularly in the Muslim world????

You may have heard Congress is trying to pass a resolution which labels the genocide of Armenians in the early 1900's as, well, genocide.

Look, we all know the Turks carried on a genocide campaign against the Armenians. It's no big secret. Adolph Hitler used it to justify his campaign against the Jews. If it quacks like a duck.......

My point is, what the hell does it matter today? It doesn't change anything. And it's pissing off a key ally in the middle east. The Turks have already recalled their ambassador for "consultation" over this matter.

And, oh by the way, it was not Turkey that committed the Armenian genocide. Modern day Turkey didn't even exist until 1923. The Ottoman Empire is the guilty party in regards to the Armenian genocide.

I've visited Turkey. It's a modern, secular Muslim nation. The citizens there are very proud of their secular state. Americans could take a lesson from them considering how we're mixing government and religion these days.

Every nation has something its not proud of in its past. And the US is not exactly pure when it comes to issues of treatment of minorities. Remember all those millions of indigenous Americans that were here before Europeans arrived?
