    He and Sutherland were always my favorite part of Kelly's Heroes.

        Don Rickles made me laugh for more than 50 years. This one hit me more than most. I'll miss him.

            On my personal Mt. Rushmore of comedians who never made me laugh, Rodney Dangerfield is joined by Don Rickles.

            In fact, they're each on there twice.

                Mark Wainberg, a pioneer in AIDS research, died in a swimming accident. He helped discover 3TC and mutational resistance in HIV. Also the president of the International AIDS Society for a few years. He was 71.

                I doubt many people will recognize his name, but he was a McGill professor who lectured us a couple of times. He unapologetically marched in the Montreal Pride parades, back when it wasn't so popular to do so. He was also an advocate of mass circumcision (not forceful) in Africa to stem the AIDS epidemic. Brilliant guy.

                    Maybe I don't want to know, but how would circumcision impact the transmission of AIDS?

                        It all has to do with the microenvironment of the foreskin. It is a 'breeding ground' for infectious diseases, since it is difficult to keep clean. It is well documented that circumcision decreases the rate of HPV transmission by about half in developing countries, when compared to uncircumcised men (with all else being equal). There is a similar reduction for HIV.

                        So don't let those medical ethicists tell you circumcision is bad! Think of the planet.

                          These both sound like credible answers.

                            Wouldn't thinking of it from the perspective of the planet mean we want fewer humans?

                              Good point. Circumcision is selfish and saves too many lives. How very woke of you
