On Yearbook Photos

My high school friend Maggie gave me a website that shows what one would look like if one graduated from another year: www.yearbookyourself.com. Here are my results:

1960

1966

1978

1984

1990

Wow, I would have been really hot if I graduated in 1960.

On Breast-feeding

True story:

A developmentally delayed woman gave birth to an infant at Medical Center of Aurora in Colorado. Her nurse noticed that this patient was having problems breast-feeding her baby, and consulted a special lactation nurse to help her. The next day, the lactation nurse stopped by the patient's room and saw that the woman was bottle-feeding the baby. The lactation nurse introduced herself, and said, "I'm here to teach you how to breastfeed the baby."

The woman eagerly replied, "Sure, okay!"

After helping the baby latch onto this woman's breast for awhile, a social worker came by the patient's room. With a weird look on her face, she said to the lactation nurse, "That is not the mother! This woman has never been pregnant! She is not lactating!"

It turns out that the developmentally delayed mother had stepped out of the room, left her baby with a developmentally delayed friend, who apparently accepted the kind offer for breast-feeding lessons.

...you can't even make these things up.
