Hey, if Klingons can have redundant hearts, I don’t see why humans shouldn’t have redundant nuts. You know, I’d go so far as to say that it’s a message from God that it’s OK if you want to mess with them and, hey, if you lose one, have fun doing it because you have a backup.

I got a message today about a movie that’s doing the film festivals now, about Steve Haworth‘s work. Steve makes the point in this trailer that he’s Constitutionally protected from prosecution (which may be the case, especially in Arizona, but that still has to be tested in court before it’s a definitive statement), but I wanted to remind practitioners that I strongly urge the oldschool “word of mouth referral only” method of promotion.
