I learned French in bars getting hit on by weird men. Also: in subway cars and public parks, in internet cafes looking for apartments, and shopping for cheap kitchenware at outdoor flea markets. At first, I didn't understand anything they were saying to me, but eventually, I picked up patterns. Ça va ("What's up") was innocuous—usually fine to ask the person for directions or even a metro ticket. Vous êtes charmante ("You're charming") was best ignored.

Claire Cain Miller has an excellent report in the Times on the negative impact paternity leave can have on a man's career. Children: they don't just ruin the work lives of women, but those of men, too! (Or yeah, sure, society could change, like that's ever going to happen.)

Was semen really found in Starbucks drinks nationwide? Is the FDA looking into this? No. God no. But Harlem pastor James David Manning thinks so, and he's very concerned.

On Halloween, 16-year-old Sash Nemphos planned to kill his parents, drive to school, use a handgun, homemade bombs, and a weapon he hoped to steal from a police officer to kill as many people as possible and commit suicide, police say. But then he got too drunk.
