Not bad, but we had a report in the paper today where a baby was over 12 pounds at birth. My daughter was over 10 pounds and now she didn’t turn out all the big as a teen.
Glenn Beck started that $20 bill shit … But Maddox shatters it brilliantly.
Posted about that a couple years ago, with the quote, “As far as I’m concerned, these ‘Loose Change’ asshats are case in point that Condoms are only 97% effective when used properly.” 
Literally rofl Mark… that was hilarious. I didn’t post it as a believer of any conspiracy though… I’m just simple-mindedly enjoying the Mad-Magazine-esque quality of the find.
You oughta know me better than that by now silly.
Sire – My 3rd was almost 9 lbs and I delivered him with no meds, so it wasn’t the weight that I thought odd… but the dates and all the 8’s.
That’s ok, Fracas. I believe you’re weird too. Must run and see the MADish $20somethingorother.
Fracas: Oh, no, trust me — I didn’t think you took it seriously. I still enjoy reading that page from time to time… and really dislike Glenn Beck.
