    But in NYC, you really don't want to do that. With all the fucked up, grab-happy people slithering around the cityscape, maybe a shirt is not such a bad idea.

    the only things ladies cannot legally do topless

    In New York state, men and women have equal rights. Therefore, there is not a single law that specifies that something can be done by men, but cannot be done by women.

    @Niko Bellic: Yeah, maybe this lady should get a different lawyer for future legal problems because it sounds like she won him in a Cracker Jacks box, based on the statements he's making.

    In some states, the statute is written to say pubic hair which though I know of no one who has tried, but theoretically a shaven person would be within the law and I can think of one place, where it's only illegal to ride a motorcycle without a shirt.

    So when I see Carrie Prejean astride one of the chrome eagles of the Chrysler Building, arms aloft, shirt open, waiting for Satan's Wind to take her ta-tas on the wing, I shouldn't call the cops? Because I know a few who would like to see that.

    Generally, I find that the people who want to run around naked are the ones who should have the maximum amount of clothes on them.

    [C]ase law protects mere nude physical activity — like calisthenics and ball-playing — from lewdness charges.

    Someone needs to explain this to the transit cop on the F train. I just wanted to loosen the old hammies. It's not my fault the lady behind me got offended by the "full-on turkey neck" (as the judge described it).

    "the lawyer says that the only things ladies cannot legally do topless are sunbathing"

    I think the 1992 acquittal of the Rochester "Topfree Seven" set the legal precedent that topless sunbathing IS protected in New York State: [en.wikipedia.org]

    @notsayin: In fact, the point is that women are allowed to bare their chests in all situations and places in which men are allowed too. It's about protecting women from discrimination.

    In reply to Four Ways Listicles Make Us Immortal, According to Umberto Eco
    After Sarah Palin outrages the very last person on earth and a certain newly dead French anthropologist's predictions come to pass, new species will evolve on this planet to cope with ever-changing conditions. These animals might be intelligent enough to foster their own version of society. Perhaps even a society superior to ours according to however one might judge such things.

    However, inevitably, the sun will explode and turn Earth into a cinder. Any fragment of humanity that might have existed will be vaporized. All that will remain will be some vestigial Voyager-like exploration spacecraft and radio signals that get asymptotically weaker with each light year they travel.

    So really, Umberto Eco's reasons why lists provide us with an illusion of order in nature and immortality are the same reasons we watch "Sex Rehab w/ Dr. Drew" or listen to Kendra Jade ride the Sybian; because we are witnessing what will certainly be the last evidence of humanity. And the gravity of that is undeniable.

    @blix: I always wonder though "aren't there ONLY 5 ab moves"? I mean, how many could there possibly be that don't actually work? And how many could there really be in total.

    Is there really some rube out there doing the "180 degree backwards standing ab fold spine breaking crunch"?
