Okay, growing up there was a popular saying around here among men. “If I could get prgnant, I would be rich”. I’m sure you heard it? No? Well anyways, we have a winner, by a man named Thomas Beattie, who lives in Oregon and is married to his wife Nancy.

Thomas is a transgender, legally male, and legally married to his female wife, Nancy.

Unlike couples in same-sex marriages, domestic partnerships, or civil unions, Thomas and Nancy are afforded the more than 1,100 federal rights of marriage. Sterilization is not a requirement for sex reassignment, so Thomas decided to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy but kept his reductive organs.

Thomas claims “to have a biological child is not a male or female desire, but a human desire”.

This could be the weirdest news story to ever break on the planet, and I definately do believe Thomas and Nancy will become very wealthy if the birth is a success.

Have you ever wondered what states have the most people living in them? Well I have. I am not really sure what made this question come to mind, but after some research, it was pretty easy to compile the list. Just because these states are the most populated, I don’t think, however, that it makes them the most popular. I am sure there are a lot of factors other than population, that determines a state’s popularity, even though I am not surprised by most of the top 10:

• California - 36,553,000
• Texas - 23,904,000
• New York - 19,298,000
• Florida - 18,251,000
• Illinois -  12,853,000
• Pennsylvania - 12,433,000
• Ohio - 11,467,000
• Michigan - 10,072,000
• Georgia - 9,545,000
• North Carolina - 9,061,000

These numbers have been rounded up or down to the nearest thousand, and are based on the numbers from the 2007 US census.

Think you have what it takes to make the 2nd series of “My Big Redneck Wedding”? Unfortunately, my fiance’ and I cannot make it, as she is pregnant, but if you think you can, feel free to contact Brittany over at Pink Sneakers. Here is the full info:

“My Big Redneck Wedding”

NOW CASTING!

CMT is currently casting for season 2 of the hit series “My Big Redneck Wedding”. This show will document the planning and preparation it takes to pull off a truly fun, down-to-earth, redneck nuptial. From denim wedding dresses, to camouflage tuxedos, shotgun salutes, and arriving at the reception on an ATV–anything goes, as long as it’s rowdy and redneck!

We are currently looking for couples who:

Body art is art made on, with, or consisting of, the human body. The most common forms of body art are tattoos and body piercings, but other types include scarification, branding, scalpelling, shaping (for example tight-lacing of corsets), full body tattoo and body painting.

More extreme body art can involve things such as mutilation or pushing the body to its physical limits. For example, one of Marina Abramovic’s works involved dancing until she collapsed from exhaustion, while one of Dennis Oppenheim’s better-known works saw him lying in the sunlight with a book on his chest, until his skin, excluding that covered by the book, was badly sunburned. It can even consist of the arrangement and dissection of preserved bodies in an artistic fashion, as in the case of the plastinated bodies used in the travelling Body Worlds exhibit.

Well, it’s been like four months since I posted on this blog, but now that summer is over, I’m back!

I plan on adding lots of new articles that I hope you will enjoy. Thanks for stopping, and feel free to bookmark jer.net, or even link to the site. Thanks!
