Fate? Sounds too coincidental. Probably, the mother did it intentionally. She dropped the baby, intending for the letter carrier to catch it. Whatever twisted cry for help it was, she possibly didn't mean to actually harm the baby, just make it look like it was in danger, get in the news, and get some charitable donations for her plight.
Or, maybe the mother was trying to kill two birds with one stone - eliminate the baby AND the letter carrier at the same time.
Ah, the pronunciation of chaise longue? I was always told it was like "long cue", with a hard g instead of c. Don't know if that's right, because I've heard it "long", too.
This one? Yeah, dumb idea. Good for keeping off squirrels. Maybe it's another squirrel catapult in the making.
Wow, that's a weird reaction to Edward's comment. Did he ruffle a few feathers. And, regrettably, like Jerse, I thought it looked like instant porno goodness, too.
Welcome to the real world, MoonCake, despite all the so-called "progress".
Despite so many years of indoctrination, it's still a fact that people will judge you - male or female - based on your looks. If you want evidence of the continuing bias, just look at the "glasses on the truck driver makes him a professor" post here on Neatorama.
Maybe it's not a bad idea to educate kids on the fact that real beauty is on the outside, because that's what gets you stuff in life. And that's all that really matters.
It reminded me of Catiline's conspiracy in the Roman Republic. The consul Cicero arrested and executed several alleged conspirators without trial "for the good of the republic".
He was a little ahead of his time; he suffered for this action. Subsequent rulers were able to kill people on a whim.
Elana's reply is a little - regrettable.
Kittens are cute and all, but one can have too much.

He, he. Damn foreign names. How dare they!
100%, but I saw the answer to one before I started. And I said NEUTRAL instead RENAULT for one, but they started accepting that, too, apparently.
I loved the name "Osbert".
And, regrettably, like Jerse, I thought it looked like instant porno goodness, too.
And I agree with Rhea - she should fly to Japan and start massive demonstrations to institute a Steel Vagina Festival.
Otherwise, a complete and utter waste of time.
