Redheads Need More Anesthesia than Others

Natural redheads need 20% more anesthesia than other people report scientists. "Redheads are likely to experience more pain from a given stimulus and therefore require more anesthesia to alleviate that pain." said Dr. Edwin Liem of the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Anesthesiology is still very much a mystery to scientists, and picking the right dosage that keeps someone out without killing them is still very much an art. Studies like this will help them determine how anesthesics work and why.

    ...and just rent a cheap hotel room, do a shitload of psychadelic drugs and shoot up some vodka intravenously, and you can fuck my fat slop hole until your buttcheeks go 180 miles per hour, all while being filmed by the MTV cameras!

    Dad's too busy working on his latest mallcore album and playing on his latest mallcore Ozzfest tour -- plus he didn't like the "taco snotting" he got from the head caterer of CmdrTacoBell after he passed out from eating an entire mason jar full of Xanax a few years back.

    Like slashdot.org, huh?

    For all except megacorps, the www is redundant. Though most people used it instead of http://. So if it starts www, of course it is http, dummy.

    Yes, brainy blonds do exist. Geeks with social skills also exist. But they are rarer than mercy at Microsoft.

    Speaking of blonds, the oddest thing happened to me once. My boss rushed into my cubicle and sputtered out, "I need a bunch of blond jokes really fast. See what you can find on the web and print them out!" So I found some blond joke sites and printed them out and walked over to hand them to my boss. As soon as he saw me he grabbed the printouts and ran out the door in a frienzied hurry. I never heard another word about that request again. True story.
