obama tries to walk through a window....

It looks like President Obama hasn't gotten acquainted to his White House surroundings. On the way back to the Oval Office Tuesday, the President approached a paned window, instead of the actual door -- located a few feet to his right.

Lemur is going to die from cancer any minute now

Men who are very sexually active in their twenties and thirties are more likely to develop prostate cancer, especially if they masturbate frequently, according to a study of more than 800 men. [...]

“Overall we found a significant association between prostate cancer and sexual activity in a man’s twenties and between masturbation and prostate cancer in the twenties and thirties. However there was no significant association between sexual activity and prostate cancer in a man’s forties.

“A possible explanation for the protective effect that men in their fifties appear to receive from overall sexual activity, and particularly masturbation, is that the release of accumulated toxins during sexual activity reduces the risk of developing cancer in the prostate area. This theory has, however, not been firmly established and further research is necessary.”

Tree goats. Need I say more?

Tree goats. Need I say more?

From what my Anthro professor, who did a study in Morocco, was telling me kids in Morocco put these goats in trees to attract tourists.

I think they got a little overzealous here.....

Taking the recession Bull by the Horns, Canon sends workers home early.

Cutting back on hours?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In a country where 12-hour workdays are common, the electronics giant has taken to letting its employees leave early twice a week for a rather unusual reason: to encourage them to have more babies.

... kids in Morocco put these goats in trees to attract tourists.

I really don't know about that. Watch the video I linked; them goats know how to maneuver in a tree.

Meanwhile, a father sues a library for $20k because his sons found The Whole Lesbian Sex Book. How, exactly, did a pair of horny teenage boys find a book on lesbian sex? According to the father, they were "searching for material on military academies." Uh-huh. Suuuuure they were. (I can't help but think if I were 16 and caught with a book on lesbian sex I would have come up with a more plausible excuse.)

From here I can't improve on the original article:

Adams said that finding the books “greatly disturbed” his sons and that the book caused “many sleepless nights in our house.”

Yes, it's likely the 16 and 14 year-old boys had great agitation as they thought about hot lesbian sex, making sleep difficult.

This isn't quite as amazingly silly as the guy who sued for his missing pants, but it's close.

Baby born with 12 fingers and 12 toes

A baby born in San Francisco has six perfectly formed and functional fingers and toes on his hands and feet, say doctors at Saint Luke's Hospital.

Kamani Hubbard's extra digits look so normal they weren't noticed at first, said his mother, Miryoki Gross, of Daly City.

Maybe in Mississippi, but San Francisco? That's news!

[Lemur]

I think what's got everyone worked up is not the incidence of polydactyly, but rather that the baby has it on both hands and both feet, and that the fingers and toes are so perfectly developed that nobody noticed until they counted. That's unusual.

Surgeons Remove Woman's Kidney Through Her Vagina

But here's the truly weird bit: They think this will make people more likely to donate organs.

Surgeons removed a woman's kidney through her vagina so she could give it to her ailing niece, an unusual operation they hope will encourage others to donate [...] "It was easier than childbirth," said Johnson, who has three children.
