My Fake Baby, a documentary about 'reborns'

reborn fake babyMy Fake Baby is a documentary that explores the lives of women who collect and care for life-like designer dolls called "reborns".  The reborns are customized to the owners' specifications.  The dolls can be made to have beating hearts, scratches, milk spots, specific hair colors, and open ears and nostrils -- just to name a few. 

Although some "mothers" admit to missing out on their reborns interacting witth them like real babies, they will say that reborns are perfect because they don't scream or make a fuss like real chidren.

Whether it's replacing a lost child or being lazy in wanting to care for a real child, I find this very disturbing.  I never enjoyed playing with dolls even when I was a little girl so to see grown women caring for such life-like dolls like real babies seems very sad to me.

The documentary is split into five parts:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5.

Camel McNugget

Camel McNuggetI'm a Chicken McNugget lover. They're my ten guilty little pleasures. This afternoon, for a late lunch, I drove through my local MccyD's and ordered myself a ten-piece. And look what I got!

You too can now own a Camel Nugget!

Boy had spiders living in his ear

boy finds spiders in his earNine-year-old Jesse Courtney from Oregon was complaining of a "Rice Krispie" popping sound in his ear.  What started as a faint popping sound, the "snap, crackle and pop" turned into an ear ache. 

When the doctor irrigated the Jesse's ear, a dead spider fell out as well as a live one.  Apparently, Jesse had two spiders crawling around on his eardrum.  The spiders were about the size of a pencil eraser.

A List of Unusual Deaths

Over at Wikipedia, you can read a List of Unusual Deaths.  It's an interesting read, not a funny read, but an interesting one.

Here are a few deaths from the list:

458 BC: The Greek playwright Aeschylus was killed when an eagle dropped a live and apparently very savage tortoise on him, mistaking his bald head for a stone.

1671: François Vatel, chef to Louis XIV, committed suicide because his seafood order was late and he couldn't stand the shame of a postponed meal. His body was discovered by an aide, sent to tell him of the arrival of the fish.

Mimipet: Cell phone accessory and ear scratcher

mimpet ear scratching elephantThe Mimipet is a cute little elephant that serves both as a cell phone accessory and ear scratcher.  It comes in a variety of colors and patterns and calms the most irritating ear itch. 

I wonder if they have elephants in a slightly larger size for those hard-to-reach butt itches.

Peter Petrie Egg Separator makes yolk boogers

Peter Petrie Egg SeparatorThe Peter Petrie Egg Separator is pottery that is designed to separate egg whites from yolks.  Just crack an egg into Peter Petrie, tilt Peter forward, and watch the egg whites ooze out of Peter's nose.  Quite disgusting, but seems to do the job.
