A LiveJournal community devoted to pregnant Harry Potter? Why not?

Pokia: Wasn't there a scene in Bowfinger where Steve Martin's character pretended he was using a cell phone? It looked a lot like one of these.

Tortilla Art: You really can find Jesus on a tortilla.

Hello Kitty Pantyliners: I wonder if there's a Hello Kitty Keeper?

'The Handbag Studio': Usually, when someone tells an author, "I have the perfect story for you," they are wrong. However, this is how Schindler's List came to pass (thanks, Neil Gaiman).

Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst: Conjoined twins born in 1100. I'd like to know more!

To The Person Who Found My Camera: "No doubt, you're wondering why the memory card contains 17 close-ups of a cat's ass."

Man Sets Home Ablaze Burning Wife's Pants: Hmm....

Voyage to Our Hollow Earth: "The indigenous Eskimos believe there is a hole in the Arctic Ocean. Observations of several Arctic explorers of mirages of land in the Arctic indicate that the most plausible location for a north polar opening that leads into the interior of the earth is located at 84.4 N Latitude, 141 E Longitude. To check out this theory, a group of hollow earth believers and scientists would like to charter a Russian Nuclear Icebreaker into the Arctic sea." Pelucidar, here we come!

Doggy Poo: Apparently, this is a Korean children's classic.

Oh my. Every now and then, I find some furry art which confuses the bejeezus out of me. How about a picture of a giant hermaphroditic anthropomorphic puppy fucking a school bus (NSFW) or a Viagra-enhanced Cheetah woman (still NSFW)?

GenieCorp: Lick-n-Span really squicks me (thanks, hellsphreak).

Re. the Chulkhurst sisters - my Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore doesn't particularly believe they ever existed. The authors note that the cakes stamped with the picture of two women (who, they observe, might just be standing close together) were only introduced in the 18th century, and that the story might well have been made up to explain the cakes rather than the other way around. Our main source of information for the story seems to be a pamphlet that used to be given out at the event in the late 18th/early 19th century. Records of the dole itself only go back about 400 years. For my part, I find Eliza or Elizabeth to be a fairly unusual name for 12th century England - but a very common one for any time after the mid-16th century. That's my verdict, anyway ;)

Ok! Thanks!

I'd guess there wouldn't be very many surviving conjoined babies (or mothers of 'em!) considering the medical knowledge of the time. Also, I'd guess any which may have survived childbirth would have a pretty good chance of being abandoned on a hill or something.

Well, there is a Hello Kitty vibrator. Does that count?
