Remember the 4-week-old infant that I helped rear? Well, it's six years later, and the times, they have a-changed. This is really happening: Angiepymy can't breathe.

can't make this shit up. Yet, upon further research... "I'm stuck in a closet and its name is O'ahu ." ...maybe I don't much mind the alohawear movement, after all.  "I live in O'ahu, too." Clooney doesn't mind it, either.  "I like to  shave off my beard every 20 months or so." And now, for a small tangent.

I die

Historical deaths attributed to laughter One account of the death of  Chrysippus , the third century B.C.  Greek   stoic  philosopher, tells that he died of laughter after giving his  donkey  wine, then seeing it attempt to feed on  figs . [8] In 1410, King  Martin of Aragon  died from a combination of  indigestion  and uncontrollable laughter. [9] In 1556,  Pietro Aretino  "is said to have died of suffocation from laughing too much." [10] In 1660,  Thomas Urquhart , the  Scottish  aristocrat,  polymath  and first translator of  Rabelais  into English, is said to have died laughing upon hearing that  Charles II  had taken the throne. [11] [12] Modern deaths attributed to laughter On 24 March 1975, Alex Mitchell, from  King's Lynn ,  England , died laughing while watching the " Kung Fu Kapers " episode of  The Goodies , featuring a  kilt -cla...

The first [commandment] forbids the worship of any other gods.  This is not yet monotheism: the existence of other gods is not denied.... Around the time of the Babylonian exile we shall find stronger assertions that YKVK is the only true God, in the prophet we call Second Isaiah, but strict monotheism is developed only in the Hellenistic period, under the influence of Greek philosophy.

SNAKES 'R' STUPID

Image
A fresh lamb dinner might sound like a manageable meal for an 18-foot-long (5.5-meter-long) python. But maybe the hungry snake should have waited for the lamb to be born. Last week firefighters in the Malaysian village of Kampung Jabor were called in to remove the bloated snake (pictured) from a roadway. The reptile had swallowed an entire pregnant sheep and was too full to slither away and digest its supersize meal.  But the stress of being captured likely triggered the python to purge—it eventually regurgitated the dead ewe. In July a pet Burmese python in Idaho required life-saving surgery to remove a queen-size electric blanket from its digestive tract. Unfortunately for a 13-foot (4-meter) Burmese python in Florida's Everglades National Park, eating the enemy seems to have caused the voracious reptile to bust a gut—literally.  Wildlife researchers with the South Florida Natural Resources Center found the dead, headless python in October 2005 after it apparently ...

Mall walking  is a form of exercise in which people walk or jog through the usually long corridors of shopping malls. Many malls open early so that people may mall walk, however stores and other such facilities generally do not open at this time. Many choose to mall walk as the indoor climate is comfortable and there is easy access to restrooms. Mall walking is undertaken individually, in groups, or as part of an organized mall walking program. The Mall Walker's Association of America is one of the most popular national mall walking programs in the United States. Mall walking in the United States is especially popular amongst senior citizens.
