When the fall comes, I can't sleep.
When I fall asleep, I can't wake up.
When I wake up, I can't get out of bed.
When I get out of bed, I can't get out of the house.
When I get out of the house, I can't get motivated.
When I get motivated, the day is nearly over
And I am too restless to sleep.

I accidentally purchased 12 fortunes cookies for a dollar the other day. It wasn't a bad deal and I've been enjoying them. However, every one I open up seems to be less of a fortune and more of a statement directed at the reader. It seems easy enough to replicate and I wonder if you could make a fortune doing it. Here's my go at it:

You have a pretty smile.
You should consider getting out more often.
Your zipper is down.
You have cancer.
There's a bathroom on your right.
You should think twice about eating this cookie.
You can't really dust for vomit.
You will pay for cheating on your high school girlfriend.
I told you to think twice about eating the cookie.
Do it. Do it.
Oh baby, you... you got what I need.
What you catch in Vegas, doesn't stay in Vegas.
We lied about not using MSG.

Long story short, I ended up on the Vagina Dentata Web site. On the Myths vs. Facts page, they had the following information posted:

Myths:
1. Vagina Dentata sufferers have the conscious desire to eat or castrate their partner during intercourse.
4. Hall and Oats [sic.] were inspired by the notorious brief outbreak of Vagina Dentata in the earlier eighties, with the song Maneater.

Facts:
2. Despite "humorous" portrayals, toothed vaginas do not have a functioning jaw, therefore cannot bite. Nor are they able to speak.

Saw this in Twitterific this morning. Thought it seemed kind of odd.

I took the Superlatives quiz on Facebook and it presented me with this question:



How am I even supposed to answer that?

Via Digg, via AOL:

English actor Firth – who had to re-shoot the scene – is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Helen's character plays my children's school teacher and one of the most emotional parts of the film is when she comes to sleep on the floor of the room where I am with the kids. It's very, very quiet and we can’t speak too loudly.

"There was a camera at floor level – then somebody down there broke wind incredibly loudly. It was not silent - it was deadly! Then there was this silence, this paralysis in the room. Helen, who was in my arms, asked, 'What just happened?' Some very noble soul put his hand up and admitted that they did it."

Let me set the scene for you: Two women are in a clothing store. The pretty blonde one with a face of 45 but the hair, mouth, teeth, and eyes of a 22 year-old, tries on a pink Abominable Snowman shaw with what appears to be a pink and green christmas wreath on the front. She turns to the ugly one and asks, "What do you think?"

They both start laughing and the narrator cuts into the commercial.

"Little bladder leaks happen to the best of us," said the narrator.

Now, I know that the spigot on the side of the house used to leak when the hose wasn't hooked up to it but... say what?
