....period.

Thank you U.K. edition to the TimesOnline. Without you I would have never have learned that the worst time(or best, depending on your stance on the matter) to introduce yourself to powder cocaine is during the first half of your...uh...lady cycle. According to the Times, "Large amounts of oestrogen also boost levels of the pleasure hormone dopamine and reduce the amount of mucus in your nose, ensuring you will get more of a hit from the drug, thus increasing the risk of addiction."

Other fun things include:

- A higher pain tolerance during the middle of your cycle while you're ovulating.
- Decreased appetite at the start of your period making it easier to start a diet.

I won't spoil the rest, in part because I'm feeling pretty lazy tonight, but also because I'm pretty sure that I've lost maybe 99% of the people who started reading this entry and weren't expecting period related discussion. Sorry....not really.

Actually, it's all kinda interesting if you can look past the gross factor for a minute.
