As I (believe) have mentioned before, I am addicted to Nip/Tuck. I just coasted through the entire 3rd season on DVD and am eagerly awaiting the start of Season 4 on Tuesday.

One odd habit I have is that after I watch aforementioned show or shows on Discovery Health Channel, etc.. I find myself looking up medical issues/procedures/pictures online. (Steve must think I'm crazy. The other day I had to explain to him why I was looking up transgender operation websites. lol)

Well today I saw the oddest thing and had to look it up. A woman on Nip/Tuck was found to have a Lithopedion

In short, a baby that was conceived and was never born. A "Stone Baby" that has spent so much time inside it has become calcified. *shudders*

It's really amazing what you can find on-line. Here's a link to a story I found about one complete with pictures: Scary Stuff!

And while you're at it, look up "fetus in fetu" aka: Disappearing Twin. I saw a show about it on Discovery where a 7 yr. old went in for surgery for a tumor that turned out to be his partially-formed twin. I haven't found any pictures on-line from that one, but they showed them performing an "autopsy" on it. It was a solid ball of cells- no insides. Very weird.

Yes, I know I'm odd. :p

It is cool. What is cooler is having a Linux Geek as a husband and not having to worry even the tiniest little bit about the computers i use. :O)

I LOVE the aromatherapy car rental commercial!!!

It freakin' hilarious. There were a couple of others.. oh yeh.. the Moving Men in Roller Skates. HAHA.. I remember that the commercial had these big burley moving men in daisey duke jean cut off shorts. Then the porno music began.

I havent seen a Budget commercial in some time..

What else?? I think those two were my favorite.

If you find it, pass it on to me :)

Fallen Rock Zone
Here in wonderful Niagara Falls, around the corner from Niagara University, there is an unassuming looking turn off which leads to a winding road which takes you right down to the bottom of the Niagara Gorge. The entire way down there are falling rock signs and the steep rock face is covered with metal netting.
At the end there is a Power Authority work area and parking spots for fishermen.

I headed down there a couple days ago with my daughter and sister in tow, and on the way back up my sister spotted this:

I've decided that the metal netting was a good addition. :)
