I've watched a few eps of that... guess I didn't see that one! I started loving him on Mighty Boosh...

Yeah, there was an article on Cracked recently about this very topic. Evidently teeth falling out represents our fear of mortality.
Yes, but when this couple does it, none of that is going to happen! They're just that photogenic.
Both of my labors were special and important times in my life, but yeah. I told my husband if he even thought about bringing a camera anywhere near that delivery room, I would divorce him on the spot. And I stand by that decision. Some things, especially things involving large quantities of bodily fluids and organs…
I won't repeat the numerous explanations of why the uterus looks way but instead add this fun fact: newborns have a reflex that deals with this issue! It's called the step reflex, and it causes babies to make a "stepping" or "walking" motion when their feet touch a solid surface. When a reclining mom breastfeeds her…
Oo-arr! So it does, moy lover.
Do you think blondie there has a girlfriend?
In university we did a pronunciation exercise where we changed the pronunciation of words in the sonnets so that they would rhyme, to give us an indication of what the pronunciation was in Shakespeare's time. Also I'm now in love with this blonde dude who seems to know Sonnet 116 by heart.
No, I love the nerdiness! I've read about this, too. There are a few amazing books on the subject. Another interesting tidbit: a few scholars believe that Shakespeare had an accent similar to the modern day Birmingham accent (and the Birmingham accent is the butt of jokes in England today).
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is skeptical of your premise.

The House of Lords is peculiar because they're not really supposed to block legislation or make amendments or do anything. All that they can really do is waste time by sending legislation back to the Commons and say 'we don't like this'. It's weird.
I don't think the Queen is a bad person, I just don't like the monarchy as an institution. There are ways to have checks and balances without having a monarch. Because, after all, with a monarch you're rolling the dice each generation. S/he could just as easily be a complete arsehole. I mean, Edward VIII was a…
Long, complicated story short: a king of long ago made a deal letting the government use a bunch of land owned and controlled by the royal family. In return, the king is nominally in charge. If the monarchy were abolished, the Windsors could just say 'POOH ON YOU' and refuse to allow all their lands and property to…
Wait, you can be skipped?! I know you can abdicate, but I had no idea they could just say, "F you, give this crown to your son."
I don't buy that argument that the people are what tourists are interested in. Tourists go to Versailles and there's no French king.
I can think of one reason this does matter to Commonwealth countries that haven't ditched the Queen as the head of state; the ruling monarch of England still names the Governor-General, the monarch's representative. It might seem ceremonial but they still hold reserve powers. Rarely used, but the worst example was…
Is there anything else you didn't read that you have an opinion about?
