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.

I was reading some interesting stuff about beer and cancer the other day. It seems that the hops in beer is a great anti-cancer fighter. To dig a little deeper, it is actually a substance in the hops, called Xanthohumol which has been shown to be a very active substance against cancer. Xanthohumol is found in hops which all avid beer enthusiasts know, is the main ingredient in beer.

Even though hops are not new, scientists have found something new inside hops: Xanthohumol, or Xan for short, that is a powerful antioxidant. It comes in small sticky beads, which can be found within the hops. Xanthohumol contains a family of enzymes called cytochromes that can deactivate the cancer process. It also helps the body detoxify carcinogens, stopping tumor growth at an early stage. Preliminary studies show that Xan can kill breast, colon, ovarian and even prostate cancers. Xanthohumol contains more powerful antioxidents than the great Vitamin E itself.

According to the guys over at Yahoo Buzz, there seems to be an extreme trend in searches for ‘Chuck Norris’ and ‘Mike Huckabee’, ever since Norris started endorsing the  presidential candidate who is the former Governor of Arkansas.

Some of Huckabee’s main campaign agenda includes finding a way to improve the nation’s infrastructure, education system, environmental policy and failing health care system.

Norris has a running endorsement via television, and can be seen over on YouTube.com.

All I can say is that Chuck has a lot of sway with a lot of people, and his backing of Huckabee could prove to be a HUGE advantage.

Huckabee, you have my vote…..HI-YAH!

According to the Australian free press, Santa Claus’s in Sydney Australia have been told not to use the traditional “ho ho ho” greeting because it may be offensive to women because, it was too close the the U.S’s slang term “ho”, which is another term for prostitute.

The Australian Santa’s have been instructed to use “ha ha ha”, instead.

Can you believe this or what? I used to always say, “what is this country coming to?”, because crap like this seems to only happen in the U.S. I guess, now I have to say, “what is this WORLD coming to?”, instead.

Make it be noted tho, that of course, the U.S. had something to do with this tho lol.

Next thing to be banned, I’m sure, is any references to Santa’s sack ;0)
