Move over, Thomas Beatie, there’s a new pregnant man in town. At least that’s what he’s been told.
When 71-year-old John Grady Pippen got his discharge papers after visiting Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach, Oregon, they read: “Based on your visit today, we know you are pregnant.”
Sure, Pippen was seen for abdominal pain, but who knew?
Of course, it was human error by way of a wayward keystroke that delivered the shocking news to Pippen, but what a surprise, eh? Forget about abdominal pain – the poor guy probably ended up with heart troubles after that news!

So you enjoy the occasional cigar, do you? Well, if you’re in the camp that believes cigarette smoking is a no-no, but the occasional cigar is no biggie, think again. A recent article in Men’s Health lists the following as possible side effects to cigar smoking:

* Frequent daily cigar smoking may double a man’s risk of throat, laryngeal, nose, esophageal and lung cancers, compared with those who don’t smoke.
* Even a few puffs can raise your heart rate and blood pressure.
* You are also at risk of exacerbating existing breathing problems like asthma.

Did you know that it’s possible to be allergic to the white stuff (and I’m not talking milk here, people). Yep, that very tangible sign of a guy’s pleasure can leave his partner red, itchy, blotchy and more.
What causes this is a sensitivity to the proteins in a guy’s semen, a condition which actually has a name: human seminal plasma protein hypersensitivity (SPH). A person can be sensitive to the proteins in the semen of most men, or to a specific guy’s proteins in particular.
Symptoms of an allergy may include localized pain, itching, redness, swelling, hives or even trouble …read more

Inspired by Angela at Breastfeeding 1-2-3’s dream post from earlier this week, I’ve decided to grant you all Friday afternoon slack time to ditch work in exchange for gabbing online about your weirdest/wackiest/flippiest dreams. They can be recurring or one-time shots, but I’m sure we’d all love a little insight into your sleepy-time psyche. We might even have a novice dream analyst floating around who can shed some light on why you’ve conjured up the dreams you have and what the heck they really mean.
Sound fun?
I’ll start…
A few weeks ago, I had a dream that I …read more

Okay, all you pessimistic poops, now there’s a reason to take that oh-so-annoying Susie Sunshine a little more seriously. A recent study published in Psychosomatic Medicine reveals that people who choose to look at the glass as half full are 33% less likely to get sick when exposed to a virus. Why? Positive emotions prompt the release of chemicals that strengthen the immune system.
So the next time you have the urge to be a nay-sayer or ignore a cloud’s silver lining, think again.

If you’re heading out into the wilderness for some nature-like fun (not my bag, but hey, to each his own), you may come across a bear at some point. You are in their habitat, after all. And while this is scarier than the release of Gigli, there are certain steps you can take to protect yourself and your family, since most black bears are not interested in people and can usually be scared away. Take a look:
1. Stand up as tall as you can
2. Hold out your arms to appear bigger (if you’re wearing a jacket …read more

With cold weather fast-approaching in the bulk of the U.S., methinks there are going to be plenty of seats heating up in cars across the nation. After all, that’s one of those luxuries we doled out big money for when we all purchased our gas-guzzling SUVs, right? Exactly.
However…
If you’re looking to add to your brood, have the man in your family rethink firing up their seat. Why? Preliminary studies have found that 90 minutes of warming his buns on a heated car seat created a significant increase in a guy’s scrotal temperature (makes sense). And because …read more

Allow me to piggyback on Liz’s post from earlier today and explore another possible reason for the obesity epidemic (one that’s probably a very likely part of the equation) – The Great American Buffet Table.
According to my local newspaper, there is a new study out which suggests that sitting too close to the buffet table at a restaurant can lead to overeating. They learned some other nifty things when they divided study subjects into an “overweight” group and a “normal” group, too. Take a look:

Heavy customers sat an average of 14 feet closer to the fixins …read more
