Earthquake!

Having lived through earthquakes in Japan and Cali, we were unfazed by Virginia's 5.9 today. I paused, waited it out in a doorway, then continued working out*. Apparently the rest of the East Coast freaked out and evacuated. What's next, a hurricane? ... oh wait ...


We've lived through earthquakes, hurricanes and typhoons, wildfires, mud slides, blizzards, and floods...I'm beginning to think our presence may be more than a mere coincidence. Take note, Philippines!

Random Shit

A: What butts made of?
Me: Um, butts are made up of butts. What kind of question is that?
A: Butts have more butts in dem?
J: No, dummy, butts are made of poop.
Me: Seriously? Is your butt made of poop? Butts are made up of flesh. Poop comes from digesting the food you eat.
A: *horrified* Poop in you tummy??
Me: No, food goes into your tummy, which digests it and then pushes the waste down into your intestines, which eventually comes out of your butt as poop.
A: *ponders this for a bit* ...what peepee made of?
Me: I cannot believe I am having this conversation. Oh wait, this is the same little boy who told the UPS man that he eats farts. Never mind.


*One of the little known benefits of gap days at FSI - you can sleep in and work out at 1pm and still get all your work done from home!

You might be astounded to find out how rarely some of us talk about poop.

Actually in our household we have seen a dramatic increase in poop discussions. Watch it trenders!

The amount of 'poo' related conversation is directly proportional to the number of children under the age of 15 and how much younger they are than 15.

SRM, I'm sure one of your mathematically inclined colleagues could devise a formula for this.

By the way Pu, I like the new layout and the very bureaucratically correct disclaimer.

And why yes I do believe that the Philippines gets cyclones, earthquakes and volcanoes.
