And here it is. When you think you already read the worst...the daily fail at its finest.

Can babies get their looks from their mother's ex lovers? I guess that's what they tell their current partners when the baby comes out looking more like their ex.

[OnceUponATime]

that reminds me of reading about random DNA irregularities yesterday on BBS (the box half way down "brother from another mother")

WTF 

[smittykins]

My first thought when I read the thread title was "Sure, if the ex-lover is the father."

This was going around on my fakebook a few months ago, about how women who had multiple partners had become one with all of them, etc and how the bible knowstuff before science.... I am not thrilled it is showing up again,

 

[laPapessaGiovanna]

It's such a prehistoric claim. The atavistic reason to keep women submitted, to control their social and sexual life. Mater semper certa est, pater incertus. The attempt to make it pseudoscientific referring to studies conducted on flies makes me ragey.

That wonderful scientific journal, the Daily Mail.....

[unsafetydancer]

Clicked out of curiosity, soon wished I hadn't.

[Mama Mia]

Didn't read the article, and I have no explanation for it -- but it is really weird in my extremely blended family that many of the most similar looking kids / cousins/ siblings of siblings ( and why the hell isnt there a name for that relationship?!) grandkids, etc.....have no genetic relationship. You would think it was because people chose similar looking successive partners / parents of their children. But it really isn't the case with us. For example I have two granddaughters who are virtually identical. But one is my biological grandchild, one is my husbands. Our previous partners look very, very different. The actual parents of the kids are the most dissimilar of all our kids, and their  partners are completely dissimilar physically --- but here are these two identical grandchildren! And there are several other resemblances like that, with no genetic connection.

 Very weird. My theory is that even if there aren't obvious similarities between the partners you choose - they either probably have some subtle , but strong , similarities that can show up in the genetic mix  - and/ or - people are drawn to people who look like someone in their own family ( not in a creepy way )- but maybe subconsciously, partner 1 has the same smile as your mom and it made you feel happy. So that family resemblance shows up. Don't know if that makes sense? But, yea, it's something that has come up.

[unsafetydancer]

See that's an interesting idea worth looking into. The article is just the same crappy Fail journalism.

Video of man peeing on Kellogg assembly line prompts criminal investigation 

 

This is just so disgusting. I'm so disgusted I have to talk it over with you guys to get over the ick-feeling I have right now. 

 

[Grimalkin]

       I get a ick feeling every now and then whenever I am eating packaged foods or at a resteraunt. There are all arts of gross unsanitary things that can happen in the process. I have to put all that out of my mind. Pretty much everything we eat has been processed by people at one point or another. I guess I am more surprised we don't see more of these videos. 

Spoiler

My mother in law picked strawberries for money as a child and they used to pee in the berries because they thought they weighed more wet.

 

[AlwaysExcited]

My first thought seeing the title was "WHAT has Steven Anderson done now?"
I guess, that would be the only way to make this situation more disgusting.

Some people have very interesting ways of spending St. Paddy's Day;

LONDON — "Leprechaun" porn viewing is expected to increase by more than 8,000% on St. Patrick's Day, according to figures from last year.

Pornhub has reported that searches for "leprechaun" porn rose by 8,142% compared to daily averages on March 17, 2015, and the number of of people searching for St. Patrick's Day-related porn went up by 6,000%.

The searches for "Irish" porn rises in the week leading up to St. Patrick's Day, according to Pornhub figures, with a 3,000% spike on the holiday weekend, when last year's festivities were in full swing.

Here's a break down of some stats they put out...

 

Some people have a bit too much time on their hands, so to speak...

 

[Fundie Bunny]

Leprechaun porn? I can't stop giggling. What the hell is even that? And I really don't want to know what kind of iris creampie is that.

[Ofglen]

but why

[Grimalkin]

Irish anal comes before lesbian porn. Color me surprised.

[paganbaby]

If I were to show this to my mom, her reaction would be, "Those can't be searches by Irish people. Irish people don't talk about sex."

Uh, maybe some of them watch it, mom?

 

[Season of life...]

Huh. Makes my tradition of a McDonald's Shamrock shake seem rather tame. 

I'm getting a visual that I know just can't be right...

[Anny Nym]

I remember reading a article about a woman, who put her daughters through college by writing Bigfoot smut and selling it on amazon...

 

Maybe the guy directing Leprechaun porn videos has the same life sucess story?  *pondering*

 

Anyway, Happy St. Patrick´s Day!

Well there is a legitimate Irish cream pie

Looks pretty good, though I'm not sure I'd care for having pecans or walnuts in said pie.

 

[Cleopatra7]

Lots of the searches involve "Irish" as a descriptor. How do you even know if you're getting "real Irish people" in your St. Patrick's Day porn? Does nationality make a difference?

Pinned it. Of something likely disgusting we got something delicious

Good point.  Like so many other things involving St. Paddy's Day the term Irish is probably the only Irish thing about the porn.
