Weird News Wednesday

Do you have blue eyes? Then we're cousins! Researchers have decided that there was a single mutation bajillions of years ago that turned off a certain gene making someone's eyes brown. So some cavewoman had a blue-eyed baby and that baby probably mated with a relative. Hey! Don't hate on the cavebaby! I'm sure the dating pool wasn't that big back then. And so on, and so on. Which leads to me. Which everything does, right? Well, on this blog anyway.

And when you blue-eyed cousins come to visit, we can hang out in my new invisible tree house! Ok, so I don't have one yet, but when I grow up, I'm totally gonna build me one.

This one is for my mom and dad. The mayor of Snellville, GA, my hometown, has asked for a police escort to go to the bathroom. He's sort of afraid of the automatic hand dryer. No, not really, he's just afraid of a council member. Just remember, the next time you call the police, and it takes a few extra minutes while you're being stabbed/robbed/raped, that the police are busy. Don't worry, the cops will get there, right after Mayor Oberholtzer flushes and washes his hands. To my non-Snellvillian readers - the city's motto is "Everybody's somebody in Snellville." Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Here's a story that actually IS warm and fuzzy. Russian scientists are producing goats who produce human milk. Got that? Let me say that again. Goats will give human milk. I really don't have any thoughts on that now, I have to wrap my mind around it first. But I do know *for a fact* that Victoria Secret has followed suit by coming up with a special line of bras just for goats.

Goats with human milk? I'm trying to figure out what the point of that would be.

Hey cuz, did you notice that that tree house had no bathroom? Until they make goats that also urinate for you, you'll have to wait to build one. And actually, I think my eyes are hazel so we might be a few mutations removed in cousinhood.

Sunshine, it's obviously so they can start selling high-end human feta cheese at health food stores. What do you put on YOUR pitas?

Charlotte, I would make sure I built a bathroom in my tree house. But I would definitely need a police escort to use it.

Ok this post made me laugh so much! First, both my brothers and one of my sisters have blue eyes. Interesting...
Love the tree house. It's actullay pretty.
"Poor" mayor. And the poor police guy that has to wait in there while he does his business. What a waste!
Goats and human milk. Weird!
