"With your feet on the earth and your head on the ground, try this trick and spin it" ~ Pixies
As I was wandering the Inter-Tron, something I am rather prone to do, I accidentally stumbled across an article relating to dating tips for intelligent guys. It was an interesting read, and I realized I fell into a few of the categories, but then my brain started contemplating, something the article speaks against quite harshly. I love all these dating tips, rules for dating, land the man/woman of your dreams crap that is thrown out there for desperate people looking for quick answers. The best thing about these "services" is that they come across as inarguable formulas that are proven to work one hundred percent of the time. Their scientific laws founded by piles upon piles of evidental truth. These pretty much say all men, women, gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, intersexuals, etc. are all the same. That personality characteristics never enter into it. It's like they're machines; input this code and you will get what you want. They almost come across as consensual rape; it's rather creepy. Honestly, though, I believe there are no solid universal answers out there. I believe advice can be given, but it has to be garnered to fit a certain situation.

The world-renowned, brilliant, and ultimately dead William Shakespeare wrote the text, and by popular consensus of English scholars as well as average readers, his work is considered of rather high quality even if most do not understand what is actually being said. Shakespeare , who was a fan of the English language, was also a fan, at least by today's standards, of cryptic language. If one could break through the language barrier, there is quite a bit of plot occurring despite being buried underneath the monologues of dialogue.

PS This is what part of the alphabet would look like if you destroyed 'Q' and 'R' in some fascist fashion. Alliteration!
