Does a joint contain four times the carcinogens as cigarettes? Not according to this study.

"Marijuana may be one of the most studied drugs of our time. And as the medical science accumulates, a pattern begins to emerge: The drug is neither the deadly toxin its foes portray nor the benign herb its advocates like to see."

Now you can meet your neighbors online so you never actually have to interact with them in person! I saw a review of this site a few months ago, but never downloaded the application. Basically, you log on and it tells you where people are closest to you that share common interests, etc. I have a few issues with privacy on the net. Mainly, that it doesn't exist. I don't know if I want people to be able to track my location within Los Angeles.

Fascinating bio on the completely fictitious life of Raymond Burr.

Now six years after this gay author took his own life, his book Testosterone is being made into a major feature film with Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Jennifer Coolidge.

Got email? I do. After just a day or two away from the computer, I have about fifteen zillion emails sitting in my inbox. After a botched attempt with Outlook on my computer (never installs correctly and eventually disconnects my dial up when in use), I may start using something like this.

Normally, a straight man using the word "fag" makes my tinker bell go off, but I think it's pretty safe to assume, even just from this quote, that this dude is pretty open minded. I've read several of his ryan8-5cut's entries, although I thought he was gay at first; the name is RIGHT out of a gay chatroom. Then again, I generally think everyone is a little gay. ryan8-5cut also has his own Q&A site on diaryland called "sexquestion." you know, the new straight guy is gay.

If not, a team of super-fags will arrive @ his door with cameras and force a fabulous or make over on him.

Yes, we're taking over.

One of my sisters called the good looking really tan guide Cabanna Boy, he said "there's nothing BOY about me" and that it was a racial slur. We all thought Cabanna Boy was really hot but he needed not to talk or sass us.
