How To Outsmart A Date Rapist

That was the headline on an issue of Cosmo I found in my house. I've yet to read it, but my imagination's ablaze with ideas on what it could mean. Perhaps if you beat a date rapist at chess, he'll let you go? Or they as a rule really hate riddles. The Sphinx might've been designed by the gods as an ancient Grecian date rape deterrent; we all know what happened when Oedipus defeated it. Or better yet, maybe there exists a set of questions that will cause a date rapist's head to explode. "Is the answer to this question no?" "Could God create a burrito so be even he couldn't eat it all?" etc.

Star Trek is a fun romp. The plot has a couple holes and the story seems a little... lax about how it moves characters to where they need to be; but it's forgivable and the movie remains exciting. There's no lack of action scenes, the acting is excellent all around, and it breathes a nice new life into the franchise. As a "reboot" of sorts of the series, it's accessible to Trekkies and non-Trekkies alike. Not sure if it can beat Wrath of Khan or First Contact in my mind, though.

Yao's injured, fuck! There go our hopes of defeating the detestable Lakers. And I'm going to game 4 in just 3 hours; hopefully Ron-Ron and the rest of the crew will stop this from being a blowout, and maybe just maybe we can pull it off!
