When your post contains such attention-grabbing photos, readers tend to skip the written description and head straight to the images. Sad, but true. I would just like to clarify that the scary 3D ultrasound pics are NOT of Baby Peanut, but of someone else’s child. They were just examples of the creepiness of 3D ultrasounds and why...

The ultrasound today was phenomenal, but there’s something about them that I find a little freaky. Not the baby part, but the how-much-you-can-see-part. They actually measured everything from the kidneys to the bones. We got to see Peanut’s tiny feet, face, arms, spine, stomach and her big brain . It was very neat. Very worth it. I’m thrilled that...

Well, unfortunately for my camera, I am forced to stand corrected. We confirmed this morning that we are, in fact, having a little bambina. I’m shocked. Happy and elated. But shocked. So here goes.

Our dollar is a fiat currency, meaning it is not ultimately exchangeable for anything (if, say, everyone wanted to trade in their dollars at the same time), and only has value because the Canadian government says it does. We get our paycheques, pay for everyday goods, and (most importantly) invest for our futures, all in...

Dan: 0 marathons in 11101 days This guy: 48 marathons in the past 47 days I’m sure I have him beat in the “lifetime hours of video games played” category though, so I don’t feel too bad.

Last week, a man in Montreal woke up to find that he and his wife had the winning numbers to the 42 million dollar Lotto 6-49 jackpot…or so the Montreal Gazette said. Turns out they misprinted the numbers and the man had actually won nada. He is now suing for damages from those few hours...
