In my paper today:
- The woman who recently birthed octuplets in California, who already had six kids at home, used in vitro for all of them AND is a single mother, according to the grandmother. That woman needs help, and not just with the kids.
- Albania is becoming a literal treasure trove for shipwrecks. The country was closed off from the rest of the world for so many years due to Communist rule (they had bunkers all along the coastline to be vigilant for attacks on the country that never came), but that regime was toppled by a student revolution in 1990. Since then enough artifacts on sunken ships have been found that if they were to all be excavated they would need an entire new museum to put them in, and that is after only 84 square miles have been explored of the 220-mile shoreline. Apparently Albania was on a key trade route in ancient times, receiving traffic from Greece, Italy, north Africa and the western Mediterranean.
- In the various themed-cruise travel options you have to choose from, one is for "social nude vacationing." In addition to ME not wanting to be nude in front of everyone (especially on an Alaskan cruise - they actually had a shot from that one at the top of the story), I am sure I don't want to see most of the OTHER cruisers in the buff either (ick).
- Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is a former opera singer.
Happy Sunday!

Opera singer? Wow - good looking, funny personality AND he can sing me to sleep. How good does it get?
I know what the flag for Albania looks like, red, with a black thingie on it.

I LOVE MIKE ROWE. Never would have pegged him for an opera guy. He also hosted on the Home Shopping Network. That was fun to watch. I often find myself watching Dirty Jobs when its late and I can't sleep.
The whole crazy woman with 14 kids. Did you read the story that she's getting the equivalent of 1.5 mil in child support from the State of California. This is sooooo wrong.
I love Mike Rowe too. Jim and I agree that Dirty Jobs probably wouldn't work with any other host, so when he decides to quit hopefully the series will quit too.
And I hadn't heard the child support info. That fertility doctor should be looked at on ethics charges.
