I Read the News Today...Oh Boy

In the news today was one promising item: men who have been circumsized could have their chances for HIV contraction (and I quote the article) "cut" (haha) in half. The caveat is that the study only covered heterosexual intercourse, and stated the obvious when saying it did not affect HIV contracted through (I think they meant receiving) anal intercourse. This is because the foreskin almost doubles the amount of thin, easily breakable skin that could conceivably act as an entrypoint for toxic fluids from a partner.

But also I was sad to see that Peter Boyle died. I hope he is happily dancing with Madeleine Kahn and Boris Karloff to "PUDDIN ON THE WIIIIITZ."

celebs, health
