The guy in my avatar is Lang Lang, a brilliant pianist from China. I went to see his performance with the San Francisco symphony last year. He is sweet, funny and talented. He is the kind of guy I hope to meet some day, so I put him in my avatar.

As I said in the previos post we need two samples: one of gays and one of straights. Now that you mentioned another possibility of "not sure", it can be included as well. If we have big enoguh sample of not sure, we will be able to test the hypothesis that there are phisical differences between gays, starights and "not sure". But we definitely cannot test anythig with just one sample of gays, or a mixed sample of gays straights, and others. If you are familiar with hypothesis testing in ststistics, there are standard tests for differences in proportions. So we need to compare proportions of left handed among gays with the proportion of left handed among other groups, etc. Hugs, Michael.

Hi Andy. Since you mentioned Funtwo, here is his version of . This version I think became the most watched video in the history of YouTube. Funtwo is a Korean guy, 23 years old, who also started playing guitar very late; he plays for only 6 years now. I also loved his It is interesting how similar the stories of Jerry C and Funtwo. They are both amazingly talented. But I have a confession to make, I'm in love with Jerry C

This is a very interesting research you are doing Kevin. Let me try to analyze this from a scientific point of view. The hypothesis being tested here is that gays' (natural) physical appearance is different from straights'. In order to test this hypothesis we need to choose two random and representative samples: (1) sample of gays and (2) sample of straights, and compare various features of their appearance. There are thousands of possible features we could look at: height, hair swirl, length of fingers, length and size of other body parts, etc. Once the various physical aspects were measured for each individual in sample 1 (gays) and sample 2 (straight), there are standard tests to determine if the differences between the samples are statistically significant. Ideally, if the census also documented the sexual orientation and various measures of appearance, then we would be able to statistically test the hypothesis that gays and straights have certain differences in appearance. Given the limitations we are facing here on GA, I would try the following poll choices, to compare the fraction of left handed: 1. gay, Left-handed 2. gay, Right-handed 3. gay, Ambidextrous 4. straight, Left-handed 5. straight, Right-handed 6. straight, Ambidextrous If I had these data, I could test the hypothesis that the fraction of left handed among gays is statistically greater than among straights. Kevin presented an interesting challenge. Michael.

Here are some pictures I took from the San Francisco Pride 2007 parade. It is big file with about 200 pictures and 2 short vids, so it will take a long time to download. Feel free to post them anywhere you want. Download the file here Hugs, Michael.

WOW! Colin, this is such a beautiful piece. Thank you so much

Last week I watched two amazingly beautiful movies at the San Francisco International LGBT film festival. 1. Eternal Summer 2. No Regret I loved the movies so much that I bought the DVD's right after watchin the movies in theater. You can get the DVD's from YesAsia. The first movie is from Taiwan and the second from Korea. The beauty and talent of the main characters is beyond my verbal capabilities :wub: Hugs, Michael.

Your birthday wishes

One of my all time favorites!

After 2 years of living in San Francisco, I think it is time for me to take part in this parade. Hope to see you all there Michael.

Dear friends. Thank you so much for the warm wishes and for your love. It means a lot to me. Recently I have been away from GA, and I apologize for that. A big part of it is my fault; I made some bad decisions in life and got myself involved in some self damaging and addictive activity. Now I learned my painful and very costly lesson and I am ready to move on. Please forgive me for neglecting you and your stories recently. Hugs, Michael.

I owned a 9mm gun for 11 years when I was in Israel. It takes about 1 second to reload a new clip when you have especially designed vest like this killer had. I am trying to imagine the situation in a class of 30 people after the killer entered it. The moment he opens the door, he shoots the teacher. The sound of a 9mm is very loud, and the effect of the hollow point bullets is beyond description. These bullets have a hole in them so they open when they hit a target, as shown in the picture below. Now the killer has two guns that he starts shooting at the first row of students. At this moment people's instinct is to take cover behind desks, chairs, try to jump out of the window. When you are hiding, you don't really think about where you can find a sharp pencil. After the first clip of 15 bullets, there is smoke and blood all over the class, since every hit of these bullets creates very large wounds. While people are hiding behind the chairs and desks, the killer has plenty of time to reload. If you are in the 3rd row, and there is about 10 fit between you and the killer, there is no way to get to him before he changes a clip. After 15 shots, the people who are alive cannot even hear when the guy is reloading, because they were deafened by the loud sound of the shoots. I honestly don

How about current international celebrity? His name is Rain Bi (Jeong Ji-Hoon). He is a Korean actor, singer, dancer, model. He is 6'1". Here are some Images: Here is a musical video of him "Sad Tango".
