International Clitoris Week Is Just Around the Corner
Adam Weinstein · 05/03/13 01:05PMIn a world that often seems like one big penis party, the clit is a many-splendored thing—and a marginalized one, too.

Max Read · 04/30/13 08:38AMAmerican women are "opting for surgery to get Michelle Obama's arms," the Los Angeles Times tells us. (Though, obviously, not literally; there are not thousands of women seeking surgery to obtain the First Lady's arms, of which there are after all only two.)

Max Read · 07/10/11 04:44PMA "butchered torso" was found at a recycling plant in Seattle over the weekend, apparently just "rolling by on a conveyer belt." It's unclear where the body had been separated from its other parts, but it was apparently "mixed in with materials from a construction site."

Today, a police dog uncovered a bag stuffed with "upper and lower extremities" about three miles from where the police had found the first four bodies (not to be confused with the second set of four bodies, none of which has been identified and may not even be the work of the same killer, although, come on); a few hours later, cops uncovered a human skull, which would—if the skull and the "upper and lower extremities" didn't belong to the same person—bring the total number of bodies uncovered to ten.
