Procrastinate on This! Sisters Make the Best Zombie Stompers
I’ve decided not to get excited about any state passing pro-gay marriage laws anymore until they can prove that they can keep these laws on the books for more than a few months. But I’ve got to give Iowa some kudos, because well, it’s Iowa, and I totally didn’t see this one coming. Seriously, who would’ve thunk it?
Anywho, more stuff to procrastinate on below. CH is still trying to argue with me about what I know to be the stone-cold truth of the first item. But feel free to weigh in yourself in the comments.
I want these Iron Fist "Zombie Stomper" high heels so desperately I could spit. Too bad they have 4 1/2 inch heels, which I'm just not woman enough to do for more than five -- maybe ten minutes. Here's hoping that they come out with a wedge, pump or flat version of this design. Click on pic for info.
1. I was already deeply aware of this, but just in case you need social scientists to back-up what you’ve always suspected: apparently having a sister makes you happier, better-adjusted, and more successful than people who only have brother(s). Basically, even only children are better off than people who only have brother(s) — but they’re still not as generally awesome as people with sisters. Love you, Liz! (Even though you don’t read Fierce and Nerdy. Grumble, grumble…). [Jezebel]
2.Oh yea! Some good recession news. A few independent bookstores are thriving, even while the big chain ones are closing their doors. [Boston Globe]
3. If you have or are expecting a baby and you don’t want to go broke, filling your nursery with all sorts of twee-but-hip things and clever toys, please, please, please stay away from Babygadget.net. [Babygadget]
4. The redband trailer for Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat, looks pretty dang funny. Makes me kind of want a velcro jumpsuit, just to see what kind of hilarity would ensue. [Defamer]
5. You know, as a amateur survivalist, I‘ve always suspected that black women would find a way to keep their hair together under any circumstance, be it an acopocolypse, a Lost-style island stranding, or even a horrible civil war, and the below video kind of proves that theory:
I don't know about that study. It seems to me just having a sibling is good male or female.

Um … no. Like the study says, you're actually better off being an only child than if you only have male siblings. It's like straight-up science. :)

This study was way to small to declare a absolute. They need more testing.

Nah, I'm satisfied with the numbers. No more testing needed.

That's just bad science.
Yeah, I'd be crying "bad science!" too … if I was a male sibling.

Just came across your blog while doing a search for Iron Fist shoes. They actually do make a flat version of those heels, I haven't really found many sites that have them in stock, but google Iron Fist Zombie Stomper Flat or look it up on ebay.
Hopefully I'm not just giving you information you already have.
