UCLA STUDY

A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that
the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on
where she is in her menstrual cycle.

For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged
and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal,
she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and
a spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire.

No further studies are expected.

From the Garden of the Prophet

And Almustafa was silent, and he looked away toward the hills and toward the vast ether, and there was a battle in his silence.

The he said:

"My friends and my road-fellows, pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion."

"Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave, eats a bread it does not harvest, and drinks a wine that flows not from its own winepress."

"Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero, and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful."

"Pity the nation that despises a passion in its dreams, yet submits in its awakening."

"Pity the nation that raises not its voice save when it walks in a funeral, boasts not except among its ruins, and will rebel not save when its neck is laid between the sword and the block."

"Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox, whose philosopher is a juggler, and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking."

"Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpetings, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another with trumpetings again."

"Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years and whose strong men are yet in the cradle."

"Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation."
