An enormous white bus, noisy and dirt-stained, parked directly in front of me. The driver adjusted his angle for five minutes, and the exhaust pipe erupted with flatulent pops and the smell of secondhand smoke.
A voice inside of me watched this and said, "In a way, that kinda sums it up."
And then another, smaller voice said, "What sums it up is that you didn't move to a different bench."
Yeah, one would think that just reading the title of an article about a man having a 90kg tumor removed would be more than enough...:|Quote:

And... yes. Yes, I did.
That toad definitely got wet and ate after midnight.
I bet if the frog sat down to watch a documentary on the birth of a human baby, it'd be equally grossed out.
In all fairness, so would I.Quote:

I don't know. Human babies are kind of ugly. But little frogs and tadpoles are cute.Quote:

Wasn't it scientifically determined that babies are evolved to be as cute as possible, so parents are less likely to hurt them? With the big wet eyes and the chubby cheeks and what have you? Does this make D_Davis unevolved? Or is he an X-man of sorts?
I've never understood the general consensus that baby humans are cute.Quote:

I don't find the majority of babies cute in the slightest. Every once in awhile I'll see a baby I consider cute but most of them are disgusting.
Can't say I find them disgusting in the least. But most aren't cute either.
I forgot to mention that I got a stork pin yesterday. A few days after Christmas, I helped my crew deliver a baby on scene. Lady didn't even know she was pregnant........ Wasn't as gross as it's really made out to be. Just stressful.
Really, I find this whole conversation confusing. What else don't you guys find cute? Kittens? When little pandas fall over? Turtles eating strawberries?
i still have no idea how this happens.Quote:

Unless you think you've got a tumor doing the cha-cha, I don't know how you could ignore it.
I knew a girl who refused to admit she was pregnant, even though everyone knew. She was just deeply, weirdly in denial. She was seven or eight months along when a friend of hers finally got her to lose a bet so she was take a pregnancy test.
Not too confusing. Baby animals = cute / Baby humans = not so muchQuote:

Because of The Soup with Joel McHale on E I actually discovered there is a reality TV show called "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant." Really I wish I was making that bit up, but sadly I'm not.
