He's still looking for volonteers to test the Mount Washington mountain road ;)

Whatever, just don't touch my PS3!

Good parable.
If true (and I don't have any reason to doubt it, we've seen weirder things happen), this guy has some balls.

I notice that they have now a concrete first floor. Is New Orleans's future linked to Ganvié, Benin?

Good idea, but the narrative was for a 5 years old.

Mucho excellento!

I don’t even own a TV.
True.
I don't need it, I spend my free time on Neatorama!

You'll need a big pot to cook this one.

Need.

"...will get you to the hospital if there is a medical reason"

So why don't you go to the hospital first?!!!!

Besides hospital availability, I do not understand why some couple put their baby's life at risk (as well as the mother's) by choosing "home delivery".
When my little boy was delivered in the Mount Auburn hospital in Cambridge, MA, he had the umbilical cord tightened around his neck and his pulse was stopping. The medical team saved his life thanks to all the monitoring, technical support, training and organization they had. At home, he would have, at best, lost brain cells with random impact.

So, if you want a birthing stool, with your doula and whatnot, at least bring it to the hospital!

@Matt Blank: excellent post.
if 'doudle dipping' was allowed, the system would crumble. and then you'd need tax money to 'save' people.

Since there is gas down there, why didn't they try to tap it further away?

Ah! Ferris Bueller's Day Off music. So many memories :)
