So whales have hair and three middle ear bones?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One of us might lose his hair

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had I been a boy I would have been Stev(ph)en.(don't know which spelling my folks were thinking of) Which would make me one of many. (I think the number of guys named some variation of Steve that I know is in double digits.)
Allegedly one girl name that was suggested for me was Sapphire. Which...no.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I think vary pretty wildly in their sp(l)ooge delivery systems. Mostly, they're fly-by fertilizations, tho.
I know dolphins have genital slits and penises, but they're mammals. Mer-people would also be mammals with adaptive breathing systems, I think? or would they be cold-blooded?
So I'm thinking genital slits and penises, if you're going for erotic mer-person, and not just biological imperative sexxorin.
(God, I take a break from resume writing for merperson sex speculation. I love you all.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does everyone know their birthstone? I'm not asking what it is, just if you know it. My sister not only didn't know what hers was, but her first two guesses weren't even close to the right colour (blue). Which I thought was really weird, since I'm pretty religious about wearing mine. It's about 1/3 of the stones in my jewellery collection.
My favourite (NthatSFW) picture in a gallery of awkward pregnancy photos. Some are mundane or unremarkable, some are hideous, and why are there two with guns?

Thanks, tommyrot! Guess I should listen to more TMBG. (I had to google that, of course.)

Yeah, if you ever wonder "what is the sun?"....

We've just spent two hours, and completed 2 pages of math homework. There are 4 more pages left. Plus a week's worth of spelling, which is harder. FML.

I just finished typing up my bibliography for the lab that's due in 35 minutes. I had the lab done on Monday night, but was too burned out at the time to do the bibliography. It only took 20 minutes, so no biggie.
I'm coming down to campus on Saturday to do two more labs and a museum visit write-up, and I'll have to do the bibliography for everything while I'm working on them that day.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I had to think about it for a minute, but I'm pretty sure I know my birthstone. I don't make any particular point of wearing it, though.
And thanks for the commiseration re: naming, everyone. It always helps to talk things out with my people.
Also, thanks to whoever posted the photo of NPH and his family in their Halloween costumes! Totally my happy place today.
