Swayze vs. Safran Foer

Todays matchup: Patrick Swayze vs. Safran Foer.

I don't want to editorialize too much here, so I'll just leave you with a few phrases to jog your memory: let's go with "zen surfer bank robber" or "world famous bouncer" matched up with "pretty flowing mullet" and "complete and total lack of irony." That should do the trick.

Yesterday the McSweeneys collective smacked down Franzen pretty well, earning a bid in the final four along with Mr. T and Jonathan Lethem.

Today's match will round out the final four. Get on over there and do the right thing.

I have seen the future, and it does not involve Safran Foer.

Ooh, that would have been a good one. I wish we could get the contestants to actually fight. Of course that wouldn't really be fair -- effete novelists wouldn't stand a chance against Patrick's Swayze's patented brand of dance-fighting.

Except for Joyce Carol Oates. I hear she can throw down.

Common Breast Cancer Myths

The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.

Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.

Third is that it is solely hereditary

The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?

Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.

Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
