To moms, for laughs

To other moms - You have to check this out. What's your favorite? Mine's a tie between the Hands Baby Pillow and the Plush Pee and Poo. Seriously???

Gynandromorphs

So apparently (because NPR's reporting it) there are rooster/chickens that are half male and half female. They're called gynandromorphs (well, the chickens and any other living thing that's 1/2 male and 1/2 female) but, after considering options such as rickens and choosters, I think they should be called chicksters.

Check out the gender-bending chickens.

But in all seriousness, it makes me wonder if we aren't messing with biology so much, treating life with such disrespect, that a chicken no longer knows if it's chicken or a rooster. Maybe there's a good, healthy scientific explanation (NPR didn't really go there), or maybe it's the sad way we treat the chickens.

Weird

What do you do when you find a visitor has left a schematic for a redesigned kitchen - your kitchen - on your kitchen table? Were they trying to be helpful? Do they think my kitchen is that awful? Did they mean to leave it as not-so-subtle hint that they think I need to remodel? Or was it just left by accident?

Isn't that weird? Who does that?
