And then there was that article in, was it The New Yorker? I want to say The Atlantic, but I don’t really want to, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

It was about the Pope—follow me, here—and how the inventor of the pill MADE UP the idea of monthly periods so as to SEEM more “natural,” to the Church? To the Church Fathers? Slice me an unending slice-o-break.

Amen.
