Barack Obama travels a lot, but many babies live in places he hasn’t been. That’s why he’s now accepting babies by mail. Ship him your baby and he’ll give it your choice of a kiss, hug or hope and return it to you within two weeks.

She's one of the fascinating people the author interviews about their jobs talking to people who call phone sex lines. The book's site includes excerpts and stunning portraits of eight of the operators.

Living under the house

This post is dedicated to Michael and Kathleen, who have somewhere between a couple and a family of skunks living under and in the walls of their house.

 

Anyone have any ideas for them?

Image from William Wood, who teaches chemistry at Humboldt University and specializes in how animals use chemicals (like skunk spray) to communicate. Lots of great information, too, like a formula to wash skunk spray, etc.
