Thalisha: A Star In The Making

Recently, I've been made aware of something sad but true: Michael Moore is a liar and a fraud.Thalisha is on a mission. The ambitious 17-year-old Latin R&B singer has been successfully working .....
Make no mistake, I'm not a rabidly right wing kinda guy, but if you look at a site like www.bowlingfortruth.com you'll see what I mean.
This is not, however, about to become a heavy rant against him. Michael Moore's a liar, there is no Father Christmas. What can we learn from this? Don't trust fat guys with beards. Now let's move on.
Still, in his last book, which I won't name in case it helps his sales (I will, instead, take a moment to advise you all to read anything by Bill Bryson!) Moore claims that male births are down and female births are up. He theorises that nature is trying to kill us because we do so many stupid things. I, as always, have other ideas.
According to a diverting list of statistics I came across, men are 250% more likely to suffer an accidental death than women are. And here's the thing: I'm not surprised. I doubt you are.
A while back, when I first got a car but still lacked a lisence, I was waiting to be picked up on a bitterly cold winter's day and had an idea. "Hey!" Said the voice in my head, "why don't I go to that lock-up garage where it's stored and sit in my car?! I can close the garage door and run the engine and warm up!" I won't tell you how long it took me to realise that this is also the way a good number of people commit suicide, but it was longer than it probably just took you...

According to this same column, men are also 50% more likely to injure ourselves on stairs. I'll leave that one up to your imagination, but if you're anything like me, your mind is already deep in Starsky and Hutch territory.Texas Hold em Poker (also know as Holdem Poker) is a card game which you'll take a few minutes to learn .....
80% of men say they'd marry the same woman, given the chance. (I'm not sure who this woman is, but she really must be something!) By contrast, 50% of women say they'd marry the same man if they had to do it over again.
30% of American women stop at an orange light, compared to 9% of men.
In short, we men are doing stupid things at what must be a fantastic rate. Thinking about it, at least 5 times a day I do something that I wouldn't be happy with other people seeing. I don't mean taking a whizz or anything, I'm talking about singing along with Leo Sayer songs and sitting around in my underwear trying to get my feet behind my head like I could as a kid.
Can You Get Accurate Christian Music Lyrics With Your Mp3
Christian music has really taken off in the last couple of years. You can find mp3 songs for some of the biggest acts like Jaci Velasquez and DC talk online. The songs are great but then you also need a site with accurate Christian music lyrics .....
So, back to the theories. According to my year nine science teacher, male births are on the decline because of chemicals being used by plastic companies getting into the water supply and effectively neutering us at birth.Christian music has really taken off in the last couple of years.

Possible.
I think, however, that it's just a case of nature getting wise. Simply by making me male, the powers that be have created a liability! If I were in charge, I'd no more make babies male than I would bet on a three legged rocking horse or Tim Henman! Nature isn't punishing us for being bad; it's being nice by turning us all into women. We'll never know the giddy thrill of reaching under a running lawn mower to see if that was a rattle snake or a land mine we just hit that's caused the blades to jam, but we'll be able to walk up and down stairs with temerity! We won't be able to tell you who scored the winning goal for Liverpool in the 1964 FA cup final, or how, but we'll know people's names!
Quite simply, it'll be hellish.
In Search Of Fun, Fame And Fortune

I know the very desire to be less safe is in itself intrinsically male, but really, I can't imagine life without that little extra kick in it. I like turning the bathroom light off with wet hands. I like it every time my brain says "I bet I could lift that really heavy boulder over my head!" I like leaving the house knowing full well that there's a hole in the crotch of my jeans and that I'm not wearing underwear! I know, I know, I'll be one of those guys who perishes in stair related accidents, but I promise it'll at least be an interesting way to go. I know it's not like me to end on a positive note, but I like being male, and I think all the guys who read this should stop and feel good about it for a second! We have but one life in this body and in all likelyhood next time around we'll have breasts and actually care what happens in The Salon! Make the most of this while you can.As a kid I had endless hours of fun with my cousins and sisters. With sometimes five of us squashing into one of the old .....
