Mastophobia from the Greek μαστος (mastos), meaning breast. and φοβος (phobos) fear - fear of breasts. You might think this should be mammophobia or mammaphobia, but
mamma is Latin and a correctly formed phobia name should be formed with the Greek to match the "phobia" part, although there are a lot of exceptions.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most brilliantly absurd thing I have seen in months.
Imagine going to the grocery store only once every 6 months. Imagine paying less than a dollar per meal. Imagine never washing dishes, chopping vegetables or setting the table ever again. It sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Why are there more people on transit on hot, sunny days? On days when road condition are best and driving is most pleasant, people pack themselves like sweating monkeys piled in the back of Congolese poacher's truck, bound to give their lives in a cosmetics lab for the greater glory of better making nines of threes. What is the rationale behind this?

It occurred to me today that in the six months I have been here, in addition to the valuable services I provide, I have quantifiably saved my employer more money than the gross total of my salary in the same period.

As the Skytrain rolled past the 1960's concrete towers near Lougheed Mall I started thinking about how these buildings were the inspiration for the apartments-on-stalks in the Jetsons.
