You know those ads with the cartoon sperm that always grace the Kaimin? Well, they leave a lot of questions unanswered, so we took to the Pond (cause we’re not sure if the Oval is still there under five inches of water) to see if you guys knew what was up.

They plan on giving it away as part of an online From California sweepstakes. A Backhand is on reserve for anyone who enters the contest. Q1: “I guess Abraham Lincoln.” You can choose to give Big Ups or a Backhand for this one: A Q2: “Jeans and a T-shirt, because I’m casual.” recent survey of 1,000 U.S. women conducted by consumer products giant Unilever says that 15 percent of women would willfully abstain from sex for 15 months if in return they were given a closet full of new clothes.

April Petley Freshman, sociology Ralph Nader. Is there any other name that annoys Democrats more?

Female soldiers take increasedDanger role in combat Zone operations ACOB AYNHAM MJONTANAB KAIMIN

Traditionally, women’s battlefield roles have been far removed from the blood and bullets of frontline fighting. Considered unsuitable for combat situations, they were cloistered in hospitals and offices, coordinating efforts and caring for the wounded. But now, as the proportion of women steadily rises in previously male- dominated professions, a question is being raised: Should female soldiers be allowed to shoulder up with their male counterparts in combat? For many military watches, including Maj. Dean Roberts, a recruiter and instructor for the University of Montana’s ROTC program, the answer is simple: Of course they should. They already are.

Sgt. Stacy Tyson was leaving behind a 4-year-old son and a 10- year-old daughter when she packed her bags and deployed for Iraq with the Montana National Guard in 2004. But she was also leaving behind a husband who was disconcerted by their reversed gender roles. “He felt that he should be going instead of me,” Tyson said. “There were a lot of feelings of inadequacy … It was almost insulting to me that he would say Photo courtesy of Sgt. Stacey N. Tyson something that chauvinistic about Sgt. Stacey N. Tyson, right, and Spc.

If you were born after 1985, you missed Shrinky Dinks. Cheers to Wisconsinites Kate Bloomberg and Betty Morris, who, in 1973, invented the greatest potentially burn-inducing toy since the Easy-Bake Oven. Shrinky Dinks entered the arts and crafts world as flimsy reams of plastic that could be colored, cut and shrunk in a con- ventional oven. Sound like the perfect recipe for a toy aimed at children four years and older? Coloring book company Colorforms and Milton Bradley (Twister) thought so and cashed in on the toy. Soon, ovens across the nation were filled with tiny, eager hands grasping for shards of super- heated synthetics. Toy producers continued to flood the market with various Shrinky Dinks kits, targeting young fans of everything from California Raisins to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not only did these kits offer kids a new outlet for their boxes of Crayolas, they also fostered a new generation of craft-conscious psy- chopaths ready to turn a heat-gun on anything just to watch it shrink. Sugar Ray front man Mark McGrath nearly tainted the toy’s name in 1992 when his then-fledgling band was named “Shrinky Dinx.” A threat from former toy mogul Hasbro (who absorbed Milton Bradley) ensued in what could have been the saddest lawsuit in history: California Post-grunge Band v. Producers of G. I. Joes. Hard-core toy enthusiasts, or creepily obsessive collectors of Masters of the Universe memorabilia, can still track down Shrinky Dinks kits on eBay. But no amount of “Family Guy” references to the toy can revitalize the bygone era, when not even a mother’s love could stand between a child and second degree burns. ––Alex Sakariassen
