Awkward photos, Things That Can Get you Pregnant and Stuff That Can Kill You, For $1000 Please!

So this last week has been a busy one, but I have still managed to make some hilarious finds on the internet and see something I never thought I'd eyewitness in this lifetime.

First off, I was cleaning out my Bookmarks in my internet tool bar (because computers have created a whole new way to clutter up your life) when I came across this site something that I think I bookmarked from Amber's site, Squash Cakes, but never really got to peruse at the time (must have been too busy, imagine that).

The site, Awkward Family Photos, has bringing hilarious laughter to my entire week.

And then, when I should have been writing my summary on the settlement case involving the guy who got sucked into the tree stump removal machine, I was instead cavorting around Yahoo! when I saw this article about the lady who got pregnant while she was pregnant. Just when you thought you were safe.......

But really, I think I agree with the skeptics, there is a much more plausible explanation, and I of course think my expert opinion should be put into the hat with all the rest....

Or then I found this article on how your shower head could be spraying bacteria. Just when you thought you were safe....

Well, never fear all you ablutophobiacs (ablutophobia is the fear of showering, by the way), Newsweek just did an article titled, "Don't Panic: Showerhead Germs Won't Kill You (Or Make You Sick).

I sure hope it's some hard earned tax dollars that are funding all these germophobe studies that ultimately all lead to one conclusion: The world is just one giant microbe, and we are powerless to stop it. I think I may have missed my calling in life; why write commentaries on tort jury verdict cases when you can swab the entire world's surfaces for a living. Stay tuned for tomorrow's headline, "Waking up in the Morning Could Kill You," oh and the day after's headline? That'll be, "Wearing Pants May Cause Your Death."

Oh, and of course I cannot forget about my promise to deliver on the one thing I never thought I'd see in this lifetime.

I don't know how it goes in your house, but most often at the end of the day I'll come out of my office and find something random just lying on the floor, sitting on the table or possibly lying in the stairway. Sometimes I think, "That squirt gun has been there for three days now, I wonder if anyone's going to pick it up?"

So I then began conducting a few experiments. Once a little green book of Kaydn Rye's sat on the ledge above the fireplace for a month and a half before I finally put it back in the bookshelf. Nobody even noticed the little green book, completely out of place on the mantel, and no one seemed to notice that it was gone either.

With my latest experiment, a nerf gun lay at the very bottom of the stairs for three days. No one tripped over it, slipped on it or otherwise noticed its presence. Deeming it to be too hazardous to remain in the experiment, with it being at the very bottom of the stairs and all, I proceeded to place it in the window sill on the stairway landing. I'd like to say that I set it there as part of the experiment, but instead I think I must have been onto another project that didn't involve going all the way up the stairs, so I just left it there for a later time when I was actually going up the stairs.

A few days went by and every once in a while I'd think about how the next time I went up the stairs I'd remember to grab that stupid nerf gun. Not long after, on a trip up the stairs with some laundry, I noticed the nerf gun was gone.

Sure enough, I looked in the toy box, and there it was. Somebody - hubby, Kaydn Rye, the dog, a squirrel - somebody, had actually thought to grab the nerf gun off of the window sill, bring it all the way up the stairs and place it in the toy box.

I was amazed and decided I am now going to pursue a government grant for my new research study on what prevents us from bending over and picking stuff off the floor. I'll let you know how it goes.
