I NEVER wear boxers, my cock always hangs out of them.

I've found that it helps to wear an inside thigh holster with boxers... 8-)

I find that a 10" strip of Velcro works as good as a holster.

It's interesting that the first woman in 55 years to be awarded a Nobel Prize in physics was deemed not worthy of an entry in Wikipedia until the award was made; and of course this is taken as evidence that Wikipedia editors are all unfeeling males

What has not, AFAIK, been remarked on yet is that one of the chemistry Nobelists awarded yesterday - George P. Smith - did not have a Wikipedia entry until after his prize was announced. You can see this for yourself by going to his page and looking at Revision History and there is nothing there until 3 October.

In other words it's not, at least in this instance, a male plot - but simple incompetence. Which is, unfortunately, so often the case.

Lots of academics and scientists and other working professionals who aren’t celebrities don’t have Wiki pages. I don’t know if that’s a commentary on anything other than their good luck.

I agree, and since Wiki is dedicated to disseminating information of general interest I am not surprised. There are probably any number of scientists, male and female, well known and well respected in their fields who are virtually unknown to the rest of the public.
