So I just saw a guy on the net claim that reason "women are crazy" is because they are obsessed with being thin and therefore starve themselves of the carbs that the brain runs on. This WTFery makes my night. In fact, it's so messed up that I've given it a shiny new "say what now?" tag.

Wow.

That's... disgusting.

I just found a manga about a boy who has never had a girlfriend. So he wishes (well, yells) that he wants a girlfriend no matter what. A mysterious voice says, "Really?" and then...

A GIRL SPROUTS ON HIS RIGHT ARM.
