Haha, my friend's 3-year-old stepdaughter was walking around in a circle, flapping her arms and chanting a word that sounded an awful lot like "fuck." Turns out it was "duck," and we set about teaching her how to quack if she really wanted to pretend to be a duck.

Bwah? The Greeks always had his father as Zeus, mother Alcmene, Hera as the jealous wrath. He was, however, adapted from Etruscan mythology Hercle, where both of his parents were divine.

Considering how much their younger sister Elizabeth looks like them... those are just some damn strong genes.

My grandma had a pretty nice sized diamond in her ring - about a carat and a half. She used to be quite good at maintaining her jewelry, but after about 49 1/2 years of wearing that ring she had started to neglect her bi-yearly trips to the jeweler's to check her prongs for defects. So, no surprise, one day as she…

To be fair, does Lancome ever do unique campaigns? They have some lovely products, but innovating and interesting aren't really qualities I'd ascribe to the brand.

His wife's nephew, actually.

That's amazing.

Actually, the Kindle Fire is WiFi only.

Jackie O comes to mind. But she's pretty much the exception in modern times.

The Redskins play in the Premier League!?

Yes, that collection's advertising was awesome! They actually did a clown look to sell makeup. How tongue in cheek is that?

Please don't hold up the MAC ad like it's some kind of aberration. I mean, for any other makeup company, yeah, I guess it would be, but MAC consistently uses non-models in their advertising.

But the Marines weren't formed as part of the Navy, that grouping happened later.

When I was a kid, the best part of going shopping with my mom was playing hide-and-seek in Mervyn's. Nevermind the toy aisle at Fred Meyer's, it was all about darting in and out of those weird circular clothing racks that Mervyn's had in abundance. My mom was usually pretty good at keeping track of me despite my best…

My mom was totally left at a rest stop as a kid. She was the quiet one out of six kids, so it took them a good 45 minutes before they realized she was missing.

Oh my god, SWINTON would be amazing. Plus, she'd totally play up the alien-ness of the Doctor, which would be a nice change of pace from the nicely-accessoried cool kid thing they've done the last couple years.

I have a friend who named her kid Pascal Darwin. Top that.

Ooh, are you going to also spend hours deep in debate about which books to burn, instead of burning the freaking wood furniture and paneling around you?

Never tried Tofurkey, but Field Roast loaves are pretty yummy!

Yes, yes you can.
