4. Myanmar has adopted a new flag. 
5. 85% of women who received the birds and the bees talk from their mother or grandmother wishes they had received said talk from their father.

There was a thing about Rod on the radio. Likewise with the study about the birds and the bees talk. No resentment, dear brother.
