Why We Can Taste
Did you ever stop and wonder why we can taste? No? Well, you're probably wondering now. It's weird, isn't it? Tasting doesn't really serve any major purpose like other senses do.

Religious Freedom, Women’s Rights, and SHUT UP ALREADY!
Oh, sweet Morgan Freeman, if I see one more post about Hobby Lobby and the Religious-Freedom-vs-Misogyny debate, I'm going to punch a lightbulb. Why a lightbulb? I'm not sure. I was just on an angry typing rant and lightbulb was the first thing to come to mind, and now it seems too funny to delete. … Continue reading Religious Freedom, Women’s Rights, and SHUT UP ALREADY!
