There seem to be lots of things missing or that just plain don't work.
That's not a question. Its a statement. It's an honest mistake to be sure, but maybe its a sign that you should start spending more time thinking about how you might improve yourself and a little less time nitpicking every little detail of any given website.

Taking the pill makes you smarter

http://fooyoh.com/iamchiq_living_sexualrelationship/files/attach/images/593/939/719/004/brains.jpg Just another reason why women should be taking birth control....

Scientists from Austria's Salzburg University took high resolution images of the brains of 14 men and 28 women, half of whom were on the pill and found that women on the pill had about 3 per cent increase in brain size relative to women not on the pill. Enlarged neural areas included the brain's "conservation hub" and areas essential to memory and social skills.

I didn't know Digg was in the business of contraception! Does this mean we can expect a "Stumbleupon" branded morning-after pill?
