Ah, more support for my theory that the human race is in unstoppable decline.

Why on earth would Bella be a popular name were it not for those hideous Twilight books?

On the plus side, it's a good way for me to tell who is irredeemably stupid.

Canoe weighs about 12 lbs. He’s an apple-head, not the skinny, cat show type of Siamese. I think he’s actually sort of svelt. Maybe the picture just makes him look fat.
