    "In 1988, about 50% of boys aged 15 to 17 had had sex. In 2010, it was about half that! The rates in girls dropped from 37% to 27%!"

    So it's not just me! It could also be the people we hung out with. None of my friends (with the exception of my bffl Emmaline who is smokin') got any until they were in college.

    Good video. :D

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    That's weird. Among my group of friends, I was the last to lose my virginity and I was 17. But then again, I didn't get noticed by the more popular people (i.e girls) until word got around I was dealing drugs so...

    the first book-for-adults I ever read, at maybe 5 or 6 or so, was Robert Redford's The Outlaw Trail, a nonfiction account of him and a team from National Geographic retracing the famous route from Wyoming to Mexico on horseback

    he is a very good writer honestly, or at least regarding this particular subject matter, and it has a lot of beautiful photography

    my mother got Discover magazine and Omni magazines for many years and I would read those religiously, as well has her Rolling Stones if they seemed interesting. My grandparents had a 1963 World Book Encyclopedia that was pretty good when I wanted to learn about WWI and WWII (very dramatic! I had no idea how either war would end!). And my dad got me tons and tons of books on the Civil War when I got obsessed with that.

    I would get on jags. I read all the kids' books on astronomy at one library so started looking at the adult stuff (which of course led to librarians "helpfully" asking me if I was sure that was where i needed to be). One book mentioned black holes in the title, and obviously that sounded badass, so I grabbed it, turned to the index and looked up the stuff on black holes and had my mind blown. Stars could die? There could be so much gravity you couldn't get away? Whooaaa. I began tearing through every other book in the section looking for more - I think I wanted a picture of a black hole, which, duh, but in my defense I was 7

    My brother just lost his on his 21st birthday. But, and I mean this in the nicest way, he couldn't have started his bar any lower than this girl.

    Well, he could have gotten a cheap hooker, but I would still debate if his bar was any higher.

    The best book in my elementary school's library was this large color book about the Titanic. Large cross section pictures and explanations about why and how it sank. I forget what the exact title was, though.

    Oh man, I know that exact book, I had it as a kid. It was the best. There was so much detail in every illustration, I'd spend so long with it.

    I think my favorite books were the series on the planets. Each book covered a separate planet, showing photos from telescopes and probes, explaining what the surface or non-surface was like, detailing the composition, showing renderings of the surface, etc. A couple of the books had short segments about terraforming that got me so excited because I was a kid and didn't realize how far-fetched it was.

    First grade, I blew through the Goosebumps series.
    2nd grade, Started the Hardy Boys
    3rd grade, stopped reading Hardy Boys because I found the Hardy Boys Casefiles, which had one of the guy's girlfriend die in a car crash, which burned so hot her remains weren't found. And she was now the Moriarty to the Hardy Boys in some strange fucked up way, which even 3rd grade me had to call bullshit on that.
    4th grade... Not sure to be honest. Different series. I was doing an accelerated student program called Quest by then so most of my time was spend playing Chess and reading books on it. I still suck at it today.
    5th grade: LoTR. All three books and the Hobbit in one year. And Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
    6th grade: The first Harry Potter. Didn't care for it. Started the Artimis Fowl series, which was wonderful.
    7-8th: Comic Books, mainly Marvel. It's the years my geekhood started to shine really.
    9th-12th: Started the Pendragon books. I've still having finish it as I haven't gotten my hands on book 10. Also did the Twilight books during this time, before the movies were made.

    The book on Mars got the look of the surface totally wrong though. It was all bright red powder and southwest desert rock formations. The books were probably terrible from a scientific perspective.

    Fluorine is awesome. In addition to sulfur hexaflouride, you can use uranium hexafluoride in centrifuges to purify weapons-grade uranium, or use fluorine to burn things like charcoal or concrete.

    Wait not awesome. Terrifying, that was the word I wanted. Fluorine is terrifying.
