Cycling - a form of population control

Take note of the sign (courtesy of Michal Zacharzewski, SXC) to the right, it is a warning; please keep cycling separate from any plans you may have to produce a large family - because the chances are unlikely.
Yehp, it's official: cycling is bad for you if you're male and intend to procreate at some stage.
It's all about being squashed against the saddle and the insulation caused by all that tight, synthetic clothing. So while your recently shaved (or waxed) legs might look great in that tight little spandex number, chances are you'll battle to have a son or daughter to pass those shapely legs onto...
I wonder when someone is going to do a study on Harley Davidson riders for the same concerns - not that I'm all that worried about their inability to produce offspring. ;-)

(Incidentally, SXC is a fantastic website for free stock photos that you can also submit your own stuff to)

Find yourself a side-kick, before you get sick

Lonely? It could be the cause of those allergies & sniffles.
While doctors have been making the connection between loneliness & poor health for years, there's finally some substantial evidence that this is indeed a valid deduction. And it seems that it's all about gene expression. So basically, lonely people are depressed on a genetic level.
Loneliness is part and parcel of being a Supervillain I'm afraid. It's hard to find trustworthy people who share the same common interests, without infringing on your plans for world domination. My advice: find a good side-kick that will listen and understand.
