  I've never understood the reasoning, if there is any, behind this extremely common declaration: "Without God there could be no morals because it would be every man for himself."

But stinging insects kick my primal smashing and swatting instincts into high gear. It was not as easy as

  Take it here. I wouldn't necessarily trust the results or the scoring system, but that's what you get when you take a quiz on a ramshackle site for morons like OkCupid.com.

  Gotta be DCA. Airports are typically ugly places to be, but be it because of especially poor luck or some selective perception on my part, this one is now my least favorite place to change planes, replacing EWR for the dubious honor.
