Mormon ASL

This is from the LDS ASL sign book, which happens to be an official publication of the church. Which is of course awesome... so let's all learn how to sign fornication -- you know, for all those comments you need to make in deaf church about “sleeping around.” Love it! (not sleeping around -- Mormon ASL)

the double-yolker day

so i found a double yolk in the second egg while making french toast for jamal this morning so i made sure to document this incredible occurrence.

Wikipedia had the following to say about this abnormality:

Some hens will lay double-yolked eggs as the result of unsynchronized production cycles. Although heredity causes some hens to have a higher propensity to lay double-yolked eggs, these occur more frequently as occasional abnormalities in young hens beginning to lay. Usually a double-yolked egg will be longer and thinner than an ordinary single-yolk egg. (i did not notice this) Double-yolked eggs occur rarely, only leading to observed successful hatchlings under human intervention, as the unborn chickens would otherwise fight each other and die. (HOLY CRAP THAT IS AWESOME!)

This of course leads to the inevitable visual image of two unborn chickens fighting to the death inside an otherwise normal looking egg...who knew such an epic struggle was taking place in such a small unknown corner of the world...

...may I add "WRITE with authority" to this as well.

Maybe I'm just a dweeby English teacher, but where has the art of rhetoric gone? Where has constructive conflict gone? What has happened to the communal conversation?

Be an active, conscious, and deliberate participant in society and assert yoself
