So Is He or Isn't He?
Why is this an issue? No, really, I want someone to explain to me why this is an issue. Really. I don't see the problem.

Should Women Get Days off Work During Their Period?
Um- Er- Ah- Yeah, um- Yeah. As a man, who is definitely a guy, I feel illequipted to answer this question. I do, however, feel perfectly fine clicking on the link in that story that takes me to a story about a Mormom themed porn site. Yeah, I definitely feel good discussing that. Definitely.

Can You Solve 'The Hardest Logic Puzzle In The World'?
Quoting from the article by Robbie Gonzales:
You visit a remote desert island inhabited by one hundred very friendly dragons, all of whom have green eyes. They haven't seen a human for many centuries and are very excited about your visit. They show you around their island and tell you all about their dragon way of life (dragons can talk, of course).
They seem to be quite normal, as far as dragons go, but then you find out something rather odd. They have a rule on the island which states that if a dragon ever finds out that he/she has green eyes, then at precisely midnight on the day of this discovery, he/she must relinquish all dragon powers and transform into a long-tailed sparrow. However, there are no mirrors on the island, and they never talk about eye color, so the dragons have been living in blissful ignorance throughout the ages.
Upon your departure, all the dragons get together to see you off, and in a tearfulfarewell you thank them for being such hospitable dragons. Then you decide to tellthem something that they all already know (for each can see the colors of the eyes ofthe other dragons). You tell them all that at least one of them has green eyes. Then you leave, not thinking of the consequences (if any). Assuming that the dragons are (of course) infallibly logical, what happens?
If something interesting does happen, what exactly is the new information that you gave the dragons?
I'm not satisfied with the answer I came up with for this question, and the internet wasn't much help in answering this problem. Here's my answer:
The dragons come to the conclusion that you are trying to mess with them, and that therefore you cannot be trusted. When you come back to the island, the dragons attack and kill you, plucking out your eyes in the process as a message to others.
Found Questioning #4

Is Manchester United's Newest Savior A Fraud?
Yes. The very concept of a savior is a lie meant to make the populace think that there is something that is going to stop the inevitable. No one is able stop what is to come. No government, no corporation, no person, nothing and no one will save you. The only thing that you puny humans can do is fill the time allotted to you with that which you feel will be satisfying. That is why you should buy bacon.

Found Questioning #3
The premise. This Found Questioning comes courtesy of Vice Magazine.
The Teletubbies are characters from a British children's television series that began running in 1997 and still runs to this day. What many people do not realize about these iconic television characters have undergone a series of changes over the years. In fact it could be reasonably said that the Teletubbies are a lot like Menudo.
Menudo was a Puerto Rican boy band whose members include Ricky Martin and Draco Rosa. There have been thirty-nine members of this five members boy band due to the requirement that the members of the band leave the group when they turned sixteen. This requirement lead to a lot of internal conflict, as well as power struggles and different members of the group aged. The process of replacing members of the Teletubbies was significantly less delicate.
The four Teletubby characters are members of an alien species from the planet Teletubby Land. The four colours of the Teletubby characters represent the four different majority races on the planet they come from. This gives the producers of the Teletubbies TV show a wide selection of replacements to choose from. Rather than age, producers replace characters on the Teletubbies show based on salary. Once time comes for a Teletubby to receive a higher salary, that Teletubby is quietly done away with. Due to the Teletubbies being space aliens and the lack of legal status given to creatures from other planets, this quiet process can be quite loud.
When a former character on the Teletubbies has fulfilled it's usefulness, that character is fed into a woodchipper. This woodchipper is located at The London Studios of the BBC. Despite being located at a major television studio, no footage is allowed to be shot of Telletubies being fed into a woodchipper. Occasionally cellphone footage does leak, but those videos are quickly taken down, either by way of a copyright claim or a direct threat to the uploader.
After the woodchipping process, the material that once constituted the former Teletubby is collected and pulverized once again. Once that process is done, the new soup-like material is process and turned into a wide variety of products, including various flavors of Fanta. Yes, Fanta Strawberry is made out of Teletubbies.
That is why many soft drinks taste like Teletubby blood. They are in fact made from Teletubby blood.
Found Questioning #2
Recently I found out about the rise in popularity of Ask.FM and, rather than join the site, resolved to engage in something I'm calling found questioning. Like found poetry, I find questions that are posed on the internet and I answer them, no matter how awkward that question or the answer may be. Today's found questions comes courtesy of Vice Magazine.
Wait, what? Really? That's a question that people are asking? Really? Dude, the more you learn about the world the more creepy and weird and disgusting things you find in it. I'm going to hide now. Later.
