Pregnant?
I am at the doctor’s today to do some follow up blood work. Just met the nurse – Yvonne, an awesome grandmom of two who just moved from Queens – and she convinced me to take the flu shots, which I have been always skeptical about. (With all due respect to Pasteur, shoving in half-dead organisms into me with a sharp needle is only a marginally more palatable idea than the flu itself).
But then she also gave me a long form to fill up. While I had consented to those half-dead organisms, I certainly had not bargained for those forms.
So to get back at her, under “Are you pregnant”?, I checked off – “Don’t Know” with an additional note “Never tested” to further confuse matters 🙂
Here I am sitting in the check up room now – fully expecting Yvonne to bring in a really blunt needle 🙂
Today’s puzzle
Ah! Starry eyed Indians!
During my 5 mile run this morning, I heard something on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me Newsquiz. After the run, I had to look up the Internet to verify it. This is beyond funny. You read it for yourself…
Here is the link:

And here is an excerpt:
Stars in their eyes: Indian army mistakes Jupiter and Venus for Chinese spy drones
Military recorded 155 air violations above the disputed Himalayan border it shares with China between April 2012 and February 2013
India feared that China was making nighttime incursions into its territory
But two astronomers confirmed the ‘spy drones’ were actually planets
