Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

I loves me some purple. This morning, I forgot my purple. But when I came home for karate, I put a purple tank under my gi.

This story is crazy...Man rescues baby from dumpster, later finds out he is the father:

I hope we don't find out later he was complicit in baby dumping.

Oh thank dog. Finally got my plane tickets for Christmas and Paris (in the spring). I hate figuring that stuff out and making decisions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Saw another purple shirted woman. She's short-haired and dresses androgynously. The first purplesse was definitely a young hip alternative type. I try not to read too much into wardrobe choices, but both of them make me think it's a bit less likely they were coincidences.

That baby story sure is mind-bendy. And I will never get over the idea that women can go TO TERM and not notice they're pregnant. Not from all the stuff I hear from the pregnant women I know. They're either way atypical before the pregnancy or during or both, and I can't wrap my head around how much.

Willing suspension of disbelief?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not being aware of their bodies + having wonky cycles + massive denial is my guess

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Dude, you guys need to watch I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant >[link] It's amaaaaaazing.

Generally, it is due to one or more of the following:

1. Thought she was infertile
2. Was using birth control
3. Spotting
4. Erratic or mainly absent period most of the time
5. Large woman
6. Small baby
7. Fetus/placenta positioned in such a way you're not going to feel much movement
8. Some other medical condition to attribute the symptoms to.

That last one is a biggie.

So, like, this one woman was 41, had been trying for years to have a baby, recently had a gastric bypass, had always had irregular periods, and HOLY SHIT she just had a baby.

Love that show.
