Random Things That Make Me Laugh

It’s no secret I’m losing my mind. What little even remains, that is. Now that I spend 99.9% of my time hanging with a four-month-old, I find myself having way too many conversations with the baby and cats about deep subjects like gravity-defying poop and Dr. Phil. (How those two things are related, I’ll let you decide.) Meaning: It doesn’t take much to amuse me these days. So, as you can imagine, this gem from Entertainment Tonight rocked my world:

The record for the most children birthed by a woman is held by Mrs. Vassilyev (first name unknown, presumably because the kids took it along with her will to live). The Russian birthing machine, the wife of a peasant, gave birth to 69 children. Continue Reading »

Babies need many things to flourish. Love, for one. Food and shelter. Perhaps most importantly, tooting noises on their bellies. But never in all of my baby books did I read anything about outfitting them in a lace-front wig.

Happy Columbus Day, everyone! On the day we celebrate the man who’s famous for, um, not discovering America, it only seems appropriate that we tip our hats to other celebrities who are famous for no good reason:

Breaking: Men Are Pigs!

Years after we met, I asked Mr. Candy what he first noticed about me. Most men would be smart enough to lie and say, “your eyes!” Or, “your personality!”
But not my hubby, no sirree, as he tragically was born without a brain-to-mouth filter:
“Your boobs!”
To Mr. Candy’s benefit, he was perceptive enough to immediately realize that was NOT the right answer.
“Um… your ass?
Try again.
“Your high tolerance…?”
Awwww. Finally! A romantic answer.
Well, Mr. Candy is apparently in good company: According to “new research” from New Zealand’s University of Wellington, almost half –- 47 percent – of men first notice a woman’s chest, while only 20 percent initially look at the face. Shocking, just SHOCKING, I know! In fact, they leer stare at da boobs longer than any other body part, the experts discovered.
I know, I know; I’m thinking the same thing… there’s such a thing as a BOOB RESEARCHER? Not a bad way to make a living. Not bad at all.
The boob researchers surmise that the reason for this is likely evolutionary, as women with larger chests and slim waists have higher levels of the female hormone estrogen, indicating greater fertility.
Wow. So 47 percent of men immediately check out a woman’s chest. And in other news, 53 percent of the men surveyed for this research LIED!
