You're in America, someone is bound to have made such a demand before... and so I take this time to shamelessly quote Eddie Izzard.

"Go do it, what do you want to do?"

“I want to put babies on spikes."

I think Mr. Swift would approve.

Bwahahaha! Just read your subject...

I guess the link might not have been necessary.

But at least I got to read it again, which made me laugh. So it's all good. :D

You hear a lot of doomsaying about peak oil, but there are no predictions whatsoever about peak baby!

This is the best thing I've read all day!

(Okay, I just woke up...but I expect it will still be the best thing I've read all day by the time I go to bed.)
