   The author is walking on thin ice by suggesting that sexual dimorphism has a significant effect on cognitive abilities. For her own safety, I hope she doesn’t live in San Francisco.

   If you're pure, you don't care about getting soaked. You do it, because you believe it's the right thing to do, even if people joke about you and you don't make big money.

    My take on the same topic: - use the unofficial strict mode: http://redsymbol.net/articles/unofficial-bash-strict-mode/ - use parameter substitutions like ${foo#prefix}, ${foo%suffix} instead of invoking sed/
