I just… I’m at a complete loss: Probate Judge Richard Hampe said the mummified baby known as “Baby John” passed down for generations through Charles Peavey’s family must be buried because there is no DNA evidence proving kinship. There’s a picture. I… I’m speechless. (Thanks, I think, to TSCGirl for the link)

A law suit filed today by Margorie Baker alleges that a local golf course and country club in her small Mississippi town has been discriminating against women.

The first years have started blogging and that, I think, is awesome. They also show the good sense to stay away from Blogspot. Opting, instead, for Wordpress.com, a decision that demonstrates that they possess wisdom well beyond their years. Kyle Michael is the Balls William Van Hook Welcome to IU, Gentlemen.

A few months back, the gals from Ladies…. It all seemed like a great idea at the time1. They called for entries, and got a ton of them. Who knew the men of the blogosphere were so vain? (Shut up.) Now, most polls, contests, and surveys spend a lot of time and energy to keep cheaters [...]

So I’ve advanced into the Sweet 16 of the Ladies… Hot Blogger Bracket. This is a good thing, I suppose. The bad thing, however, is that my wee #9 seed has drawn a #1 seed. I cannot win this round and advance into the elite 8 (where I will almost surely get my rear handed [...]
