Aces Full of Links

Shotgun Post

I’m feeling a lot better today, but not 100%. I feel good enough to pass along some interesting links to you.

• You may know my father-in-law has a blog. He recently posted about Margaret’s attempt to sing The Fox Song to my daughters. Previously, this was a very popular folk song in our family.
• More evidence that an abstinence pledge is a lousy substitute for education about safe sexual practices. (Found by Maggie)
  • Teenagers who make a one-time pledge to remain virgins until marriage catch sexually transmitted diseases about as often as those who don’t pledge abstinence, according to a study of the sex lives of 12,000 adolescents._
  • ”It’s difficult to simultaneously prepare for sex and say you’re not going to have sex,”
  • The study also found that 99 percent of nonpledgers and 88 percent of pledgers have sex before marriage.
• Bum Wines. Sent along by Bob, here is your guide to the subtle differences among so-called bum wines. “The More You Know™”
• We’re at Terror Alert Bert (Chuck wants you to know).
• God Hates Shrimp has leveraged the power of the Church Sign Generator. notes Patti.
• Are Funyuns the Roger Clinton of the Frito-Lay family? I always kinda liked them.
• Making the best of a bad situation. The ecological fridge. With beer.

There. Now I’m spent.
