Dear Tina - Does Size Matter?

Dear Tina,

I am 19 years old, 5 ft 6 and weigh 290lbs. My penis is 4 inches long and 3 inches around when erect. Will it get bigger as I get older? I have heard that losing weight will make it grow. I am concerned that I will be unable to satisfy my girlfriend with it. What can I do?

Please help, Desperate Reader.

As the rotation of the Earth slows, the direction of magnetic North is shifting towards Moscow, causing chaos for pilots trying to land at a Tampa airport.

You could need one of these

This is however of miniscule significance when compared to how the accompanying celestial shift has caused me to move from being a challenging and impulsive Aries to a conservative, concrete Taurus.

Another Swift romance

It seems that once again love spits in the face of teen country sensation, Taylor Swift, as she very publicly splits with another beau. Slap the Penguin digs around to find out why the teen heart throb cannot hold onto a man for more than 3 months?
