Sick humor:
According to Christopher Hitchens, Jewish humor (and consequently Holocaust jokes) are usually testosterone-driven. Which means, it originated among men.

Parental death has surprisingly small average effects on cognitive outcomes, despite representing a traumatic shock. Given the size of...

peglegcrumpet:
I mean… Before getting tumblr, I had no idea that anyone paid attention to whether or not their thighs touched, or whether or not their collar bones are protruding.
