Storms and teacups, sexual dimorphism and patriarchy
Post 126376 by mvuijlst deleted for the following reason: This reads more like one person's opinion piece than something especially compelling from the web.

Dude. Symmetry is one of the best things ever.
Post 126340 by benito.strauss deleted for the following reason: Heya, it's neat but if it got posted about as recently as a few months ago and posted about before that as well it's probably not really something where a new post on the front page makes a ton of sense. -- cortex

Post 126249 by kbennett289 deleted for the following reason: Heya, the formatting here is kind of oblique: there's no mention of the title of the book, it's a book review out of context, and it's not really clear why specific this review and this pull-quote is postworthy. -- cortex

Post 126168 by mark7570 deleted for the following reason: Heya, a WSJ fluff piece about scrubbin' and P&G;'s product strategy with a wee sidebar of soundbytes about cleaning-as-therapy is really kinda thin for a post; if there's some actual meat to Deibler's therapeutic stuff, maybe a post that went to the research behind that in a little more detail would be more interesting? -- cortex
Safe kids?
Post 126161 by roomthreeseventeen deleted for the following reason: I feel like "local schools make some dumb rules" is awfully thin for news on on the front page, especially with the "in the wake of Newton" framing when e.g. the birthday treats thing is about food allergies. -- cortex
