It seems the PE subject of the week is Sex Ed. Last week it was Mental Health or "Remember, if your friend threatens to commit suicide, get an adult!". But seriously, I never got decent sex ed in school. Sure, I got way too much information from my mom, but you have to wonder about the thousands that surely got to high school and sex with little more than "Pet Your Dog, Not Your Date". Tragically, many of them probably didn't even get to college, where some actual information is actually passed on.


Speaking of differences between high school and college, it's interesting to go in less than a year from "Is Osmosis Jones too racy?" to "70's folks getting it ON!" To any high school seniors reading this, no it's not as fun as it sounds. You hardly notice the sex because you are busy writing notes for your two page journal on the narrative implications of the camera angles.


Oh, and a useful link: Skeptical Inquirer. These people hate bullshit mumbo jumbo, and they'll give you facts about why this shit is fake til you stop living in your dumbass new age power of positive thinking world and get some sense. Of course, if you really were like that, you wouldn't actually read these articles. Too long.
