12 Questions For "Mad Men" Costume Designer Janie... →
I’m a terribly late joiner to the legions of Mad Men fans, but like the rest of you I have fallen utterly in love…and I want all of Betty Draper and Joan Holloway’s wardrobe. I bow down in complete awe of the talent that is Janie Bryant.

Fertility treatments are a “miracle”of modern science, but 8 babies, REALLY!?!?  Women are biologically incapable of carrying that many fetuses to term, thus the reason they were delivered 9 weeks early.  That’s only 31 weeks of gestation, not nearly enough time to develop properly.  Though the article states that the babies are “doing well,” premature birth is...

Looks like Team Danger Zone has a few things to say… funemployed: Idiotarod 2009 PSA Sabotage is destroying the ruble until school teachers get paid in vodka. Sabotage is stashing your porn collection on your co-worker’s computer to help your chances before layoffs. Sabotage doesn’t have to mean eggs, or mayonnaise, or dead fish, or paint.

HOPE →
“On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.” “In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.

love = neuropeptide cocktail →
they’re still just dabbling, but apparently the human feeling of love can be roughly cut down to a blend of neuropeptides/transmitters and vassopressin (oxytocin for us ladies). as clinically minded as i am, i am reluctant to allow science to fully explain emotion, let alone take a pill that would enhance or reduce said emotion. perhaps we should just leave well enough alone.
