Explain the navy please. If men are so obsessed with sex why do MEN volunteer to spend months if not years at sea with no females?

Because in humans, the pursuit of sex tends to abstract into the pursuit of the availability of sex. This means doing stuff which ultimately makes one more attractive to the opposite sex.

To use a money analogy, what's more valuable? A million dollars in cash, or the ability to easily earn $10,000 any time, any where?

Steal a dollar, get probation
Steal a thousand dollars, get a fine
Steal a million dollars, get home detention
Steal a billion dollars, get a long jail term
Steal a trillion dollars, get a free swag of taxpayer money and become a consultant

Researchers at the University of Botswana have taken this research a step further and decoded the encoding of stripes and the underlying alphabet. One young zebra, limping along the savannah nursing his fresh wounds, was decoded to read "lions suck!" while another slightly older male's markings were decoded to read "I got deep throated by a giraffe but all I got was this lousy T-shirt".

It would make huge sense for the alcohol industry to invest heavily in this technology.
Cars which breath-test their drivers and serve as 'designated drivers' could give a huge boost to bars and nightclubs. And, no more alcohol-related traffic deaths.

"Hi Mickey!"

Perhaps PHP developers swear less because they expect more eyes on the code due to this kind of accident.

Or maybe it's just because PHP itself is a vast profanity.

I would have expected a lot more bolorful language from the python bommunity.
Silly bunts!

Throughout US history, there have been several episodes of fear, hysteria and scapegoating. The first example is the infamous witch hunts. Post WWII, it was Sen. McCarthy-led anti-communist crusades. The famous playright Arthur Miller made the comparison very clear in his master work The Crucible. Now, it seems pedophiles are the new communists. What better a 'fear fix' than to imagine Pedobear hiding under every bed, lurking in the school staffrooms and coaching your kids' ball teams.

I've seen a lot of shitty software in my time

Airlines could do a lot to reduce carbon emissions, and also encourage better public health, by requiring passengers at checkin to stand on a large weighing platform along with their bags, and pay for the total weight. I strenuously object to subsidising the fares of obese people.

Hmm, lemme see... wise and profound old culture, who invented our modern numbering system over 2000 years ago, writes a copyright law in the 21st century addressing contemporary technology issues, and gets it substantially right.

Why am I not surprised?

Where are our mod points when we need them?!

Tor, I2P, and thousands of anonymising proxies all over the web. The guy totally has no excuse.

If you're going to say stuff that could bring down unwanted consequences, then do it in a way that's extremely difficult to trace back to you personally.
