Let's learn Sign Language!

Hey all! Want to learn some Sign Language? It's pretty much my favorite unspoken language ever and I want to help you all learn a bit. Today we will focus on the alphabet.

Many of you might remember the American Sign Language alphabet from 2nd grade, but I thought it would be a nice refresher. Can you spell your name? :)

Now that you have that down, take a look at this. It's British Sign Language and it is COMPLETELY different.

The Brits have to do everything the hard way. Two hands? That's GOT to be inconvenient. No wonder people were sick of living in Britain...

Lime Flavored Cancer lips

WARNING! YOUR LIP GLOSS MAY BE GIVING YOU CANCER. No it's not a joke, this is serious stuff. What is it about lip gloss that is causing cancer among 5 Americans per year? It's chemical content? No, the materials inside your gloss wouldn't cause cancer, unless you are using some kind of illegal brand. No, the truth is, the sun's magnification across the gloss is causing people to get lip cancer. The "experts" are comparing putting on lip gloss to putting on baby oil to promote tanning. Gross. Who wants tan lips? Mine would just get sun burned anyway. In an article at ABC News.com it says: "...squamous cell carcinoma (the kind of cancer that makes up 90 percent of new cases of lip skin cancer each year) has a higher risk of metastasis on the lips. That means that it's more likely to aggressively spread if it starts on your lips than if the same kind of cancer appears first on other parts of the skin." OK, that might be true, but is lip gloss really the cancer causing culprit? The "experts" suggest finding a lip gloss that has SPF benefits. So how do you know if your lip gloss is protecting your delicate lips? Well, mine does not come right out and say SPF, but there are some ingredients that are proven to protect your lips that they add in. The only problem is, you have to check it yourself. If you are really THAT concerned go to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen#Active_ingredients" and you will have an entire list of fun names that you can try to find on the tiny back of your lip gloss tube. I might be digging my own grave here, but I don't really care what my gloss has in it, because it tastes likes limes. I have this suspicion that when I die, it won't be from lip cancer due to the high sheen on my lip gloss, but it's up to you to decide. Live a joyful life of shimmering, tasty lips or live in fear that while your lips taste good, the product YOU placed upon is slowly killing you.

Male Pregnancy

Ok, so the other day I heard someone say "Male sea horses have babies..." (or something like that) and I was puzzled because I had always thought that the mother sea horse, we'll call her Velma, put the babies into the father sea horse's, we'll call him Franklin, pouch and Franklin just held them there until they were ready to come out. Now that I think about it, I guess that is kinda how it happens with humans but opposite...ask your mom if you don't know...anyway I decided to look it up, and where did I go for my information? You guessed it! Wikipedia! Here is what they say: "[Franklin] can give birth to as many as 2,000 "fry" (haha, giving "birth" to the phrase "small fry"?) at a time and pregnancies last anywhere from 40 to 50 days, depending on the species. When the fry are ready to be born, [Franklin] undergoes muscular contractions to expel them from his pouch." This sounds strangley familiar... "[Franklin] typically gives birth at night and is ready for the next batch of eggs by morning when [Velma] returns." What animals! Isn't one batch of children enough for these creatures?
Of all the things that I could give to men it would be the birthing of children part. We should start experimenting with operations that can give men a pouch, so that we can relax for 9 months before the baby comes and then we take care of them all the time anyway. I love babies, don't get me wrong, but I have the strange feeling that all of mine are going to over 10 pounds...
