Nanu Ram Jogi fathered his estimated — yes, estimated — 21st child at the age of 90 in 2007.  Apparently not a fan of retiring (except to the bedroom), he plans to keep reproducing.

“Women love me,” Jogi said. “I want to have more children.  I can survive another few decades and want to have children till I am 100 — THEN maybe I will stop.”

The secret to his vitality?  He eats lots of meat.

Stay tuned for more strange, er… FUN facts!

Thank you, Woman Standing in Line at Sarah Palin Book Signing, for totally making my day.   By the looks of your ‘do, Palin isn’t the only one going rogue.

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.  Yes, you read that correctly — 69 freakin’ kids.  She had 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets between 1725 and 1765, totaling 27 births. 67 of the 69 children born survived infancy.  The woman’s sanity, however, was not so lucky.

In summary:  Ouch.

Stay tuned for more fun facts!

This poor, beautiful child.  All I can ask is, “WHY” followed by countless question and exclamation points.  Pretty sure the kid would like to ask the same.  As Laughing Stork friend, Krys, noted:  “I think her face says it all regarding her thoughts on this particular type of f*ckery.”  Yes, indeed, it does.

And in future news, the baby’s first word is “emancipation!”

Happy Jon and Kate Day!

Happy Kardashian Day!

Happy Speidi Day!

And, of course…

Happy Paris Hilton Day!

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!

The family that sprays together, stays together.

After a slight, unexpected delay in plans — aren’t there always unexpected delays? — I finally have a firm date to unveil The Laughing Stork 2.0:

This Monday, April 13.

Which means my Easter Sunday will be chock full of chocolate AND lots o’ work.  Just as the spirit of the holiday is meant to be honored.

I saw the new design yesterday and am so excited to share it with you.  Again, if you’d like to receive the official launch announcement and other TLS news, be sure to sign up for the handy-dandy newsletter:
