Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

The Chive – ‘The Breakfast Club’ will never get old… ever. (31 Photos)

Mouth cancer rates reach record high: Is oral sex to blame?
“While most cancers are on the decrease, cases of mouth cancer continue to rise at an alarming rate…According to their report, HPV causes an estimated 73 percent of oropharyngeal mouth cancers….In the US, the five-year survival rate for cancer in the oral cavity is about 57 percent. Those who live through it could have to do so without a tongue or jaw.”
A buddy of mine had part of his tongue removed because of this. He’s good now fortunately.
See: Should I get the HPV vaccine?
“All people ages 9 to 45 can get the HPV vaccine to protect against genital warts and/or different types of HPV that can cause cancer. It’s recommended that children get the vaccine at age 11 or 12, so they’re fully protected years before they become sexually active.
But regardless of your age, talk with your nurse or doctor to find out if the HPV vaccine could benefit you.
”

    Greetings, Eric and fellow TweakHounds!!

    Regarding the HPV vaccine: I’m not an anti-vaxxer….I’m just into being WELL INFORMED of the potential risks with anything that’s put in my body. Your mileage may vary, and I wish you all the best of success in achieving your optimal health goals!

    This is very interesting (in a bad way):
