Ovulation Caught on Camera During Surgery

Amazing!

Who knew that ovaries look like little plump nipples?

And that eggs look like little fruity Tic-Tacs?

The series of pictures look sort of like a beanbag barfing.

It's beautiful and incredible, and yet still makes me feel a little bit like throwing up. That's probably normal.

RIP, HTTP, etc.

A startling realization, as of this morning: we will all be survived by our blogs and Facebooks. I may leave no mark on the world at large but random comments on friends' blogs and stupid videos I've posted on YouTube will outlive me, and speak for me.

Ancestors will be able to reconstruct my life and gain insight into my character by poring over years of stupid blog entries. Their conclusions? Hopefully charitable. In the meantime, I'll write about everything that tickles my funny bone and triggers my cute detector. To wit, two short and darling vids:

Kitten sneezes, than does adorable pitiful newborn kitten mew:



HAPPY FRIDAY!

Halloween Post #2

Check out Dan doing an entire stand-up set...as a zombie. (Dan, will there be clips up soon?) Truly shiver-inducing.

From his blog entry about his set: "So last Friday's set as Zombie Dan Telfer went crazy well, and it is my understanding that my makeup and tooth-spitting gimmick was so graphic that someone in the audience actually ran out into the rainy streets puking. That is amazing."

Also, at Amazon: The Zen of Zombie: Better Living Through the Undead.

Cute Vs. Squishy

I don't know why, but I'm in an animal appreciating mood. Let's pair up the two cutest things I've found online recently with the two most shudder-inducing.

Squeaking and adorable baby animals:

Orphan porcupine with hiccups eating a banana:



Baby panda making pitifully adorable whining noises:



And considerably less cute but equally fascinating squishy animals:

Little octopus escaping from a little hole in a box:



600 pound octopus escaping from all manner of box and tube:

Nature Is Just Messing With Me Now

Check out the creepily human-looking teeth on this squid, a promachoteuthis sulcus. Just looking at it gives me the heebie jeebies. Does this look like something Stan Winston dreamed up, or what?
