"American Soldier"

Ian Fisher, a high-school senior who decided to enter the army after graduation, allowed a reporter and a photographer from The Denver Post to follow him from the time of his enlistment through his return from deployment. The multimedia series, which includes an in-depth article, photographs, and videos, can be found here. A nice selection of the photographs can be found here.

[NSFW!] Problems with the plumbing.

Two vagina-related points today:

1. Humans have apparently long had a fear of vaginas with teeth (vagina dentata). Someone recently decided to take that fear to the next level by making a horror movie entitled Teeth about a girl who regularly uses her vagina-teeth to bite off body parts.
2. The more horrifying story: "My vagina fell out." Apparently female genital prolapse "is characterized by a portion of the vaginal canal protruding from the opening of the vagina." In other words, an innie becomes an outie, as seen below. I would not wish this on anyone.
