Global Orgasm: (see, got your attention) A couple is planning a global synchronized orgasm for peace. By promoting what they hope to be a synchronized global orgasm, they hope to get people to channel their sexual energy into something more positive. The couple have studied evolutionary psychology and believe that war is mainly an outgrowth of men trying to impress potential mates, a case of "my missile is bigger than your missile."

Friday Five: Make a Wish
1. When is your birthday? October 20
2. When you blow out the candles on your cake, do you make a wish? Have any of them come true? Yes, often the same one. Yes.
3. How do you feel about birthdays and birthday celebrations? I love birthdays! Mine, yours, whoever. I think everyone should have a day that their loved ones celebrate them and have an "excuse" to tell them how much they are loved.
4. What has been your favorite birthday gift? What kind of gifts really blow you away? Thoughtful ones. Sometimes that's money from my parents when they know I have bills to pay. Sometimes its a book about girls' overnight camp because the friend knows how much I loved camp. Sometimes it's a phone call or card from a friend who I didn't even know knew my birthday or with whom I had not spoken in a long time.
5. What flavor cake do you prefer? For birthday cake, yellow/white cake with chocolate frosting.
