Michael Shulman writes a very interesting piece in The New York times about bisexuality, a label with layers: “Of course I still fancy girls.” Those six little words, tossed off like a request to please hold the mustard, were among the most deconstructed in Tom Daley’s YouTube video last month, in which the 19-year-old British Olympic diver announced that he was dating a man . . . Mr. Daley’s disclosure reignited a fraught
conversation within the L.G.B.T. community, having to do with its third
letter. Bisexuality, like chronic fatigue syndrome, is often assumed to
be imaginary by those on the outside. The stereotypes abound: bisexuals
are promiscuous, lying or in denial. They are gay men who can’t yet
admit that they are gay, or “lesbians until graduation,” sowing wild
oats before they find husbands. Read full article in The New York Times.

This is why we love pastafarians so much: "Pastafarian minister Christopher Schaeffer was
sworn into the Pomfret New York Town Council this week with a colander
on his head throughout the ceremony to represent his unique religious
beliefs. Mr Schaeffer, a minister for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) took his oath of office before the board's recreational meeting on Thursday afternoon." Read full article in The Independent. E.T.P 3'. Read more about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster here.

According to a research made by the US-based Coalition Against Drug Abuse New Year’s goals relating to marijuana were over 71 per cent more popular in 2014 than in the previous year. "To find these results, Joseph Rearick of the Coalition analysed around 1 million tweets posted across the world in the run up to and the days following New Year’s." I still really don't know how reliable to prove resolute intention a tweet is, but you can read the full article in The Independent. E.T.P. 3'
