Boy’s Room: Shipley + Halmos have a great office, get good press, love Calexico’s burritos, fear the Superbowl. [Refinery29]

Butt Out: Lighting up may threaten your sex life—in addition to other things. [Jamaica Gleaner]

Playing Doctor: As you already suspected, med students get more play than the average bear—mostly because they get to say, “Hey, I’m a med student.” [News.com.au]

“Who’s Neck Gets Cold Anyway”: Wearing a “polo neck” (trans.—turtle neck) could make you look smug and perhaps even glib. [Guardian UK]
