Sooo....
Asmodeus blew up this afternoon. Well, not actually blew up, I guess. Lost all the water in the radiator suddenly and without warning. That's more accurate, but less concise. Anyway, he had to be towed to the shop, and I'll have to go round to the shop tomorrow and ask them to take a look. For those of you playing along at home, yes, in fact, he *was* just in the shop, and yes, in fact, they *did* say nothing was wrong with his engine.

*sigh*

You know what the worst part is?
I know more than one joke that centers around the phrase "It looks like you blew a seal".

Given that the readership of Pop Mech is likely 90-something % male, I can see how they can get away with it. Similar to Cosmo's "20 Things Every Woman Should Know about her own body". Irritating, but both are aimed at their majority.

I think they are seriously underestimating their demographics...or perhaps they are targeting a demo that is much easier to work with from a 1950's mindset. 8-)

Granted, I am a guy, but I am a younger guy who doesn't want my daughter stuck as a homemaker who can't unclog her own toilets or change her own tire.
