      I've been to a lot of European countries. So I'd have to say somewhere in Africa. Need to expand the mind!

      Acutely, it will hurt only briefly. However, you have likely done long-term damage that will cause long-term damage that will lead to early-onset arthritis. In short, it will hurt until you die.

      Given that my research specialty is cognitive processing of media, I like any class in this area the most. This includes Sex & Violence and the Media, and Cognitive and Emotional Processing of Media. I am very excited about this summer's health communication class.

      And the first college class I ever taught was Ad Writing, so it has a special place in my heart!

      Life, at least for animals, is about reproduction and ensuring that your offspring reach reproductive age.

      That was at Caliches, a chain of frozen custard restaurants in Southern New Mexico. That particular one is on Roadrunner Avenue.

      Communication is both an art and a science. The structure and formal features of a message can be understood well scientifically. However, the choice of individual words for a narrative remains an art.

      Since I teach advertising, this is simple: advertisers lie.

      Although they likely reduced overall friction by fluid friction, it is nonetheless not friction-free.

      How do you know an advertiser is lying? His/her lips are moving!

      Basically, "while" is for illiterate clods, and "although" is for the educated elite.

      Sadly due to the fact that most people represent the former, dictionaries are starting to equate them.

      This is wrong and should be a candidate for the death penalty.

      "While" refers to a temporal relation.

      Correct: While I type thus, I am listening to a Beatles song.

      Also correct: Although I have never been a huge Beatles fan, I recently acquired some of their music.

      Plain ignorant: While many people are illiterate clods, we should not attempt to teach them proper grammar.

      I am both OCD and ADHD. Thus, as much as I love Fuzzy's taco shop, it would not take me long to acquire a new addiction!

      I'm all about local. So wherever you happen to be at this moment, the Winter ale that is brewed closest to where you are is the best place to start.

      Avoid any mass distributed beer, which is the product of globalization.

      Buy local. Even better, make your own: http://www.homebrewery.com/beer/beer-kits-premium.shtml

      Due to the fact that ostriches tend not to run for pleasure, the notion of average is a bit misleading. They can sustain efforts of 30+ mph and speed burst over 45 mph, according to Wikipedia. Some sources have them running close to 60 mph in bursts.

      The same as light. That is, when you turn off the light, the darkness reaches your eye in the same speed it takes for the last light photon to leave the bulb. So, sqrt(E/M), according to Albert.

      If a company uses Styrofoam, they clearly already hate the environment. So they club baby seals, and they pack the Styrofoam in their fur.
