Tipsy Rodents

Here’s Roger the rat. He was caught in the act of sneaking a drink before his big date at the nightclub with his lady friend.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend was a little confused. She thought they were meeting at the bar. Her she is waiting for her man:

Hopefully these two tipsy rodents managed to meet up later in the evening ….

All their kids have the same birthday

You’ve heard of families who’s children’s names all start with the same letter, and the occasional family where a child has the same birth date as the mother or father, but what about a family who’s children were all born on the same day in different years?

Jenna and William Cotton of Marysville have an easy time remembering the birthday of each of their children. All of their three children have been born on October 2nd. The latest addition to the family was little Kayla who was born on Tuesday Oct 2nd. Her brothers Ayden Cotton and Logan Cotton were born on Oct 2nd 2003 and October 2nd 2006 respectively.

Based on that history, the parents said they had a feeling their baby daughter would come a couple of days past her Sept. 30 due date. Sure enough, Jenna Cotton, 23, began having contractions early Tuesday, hours before a planned birthday party for the boys.

She had a doctor’s appointment scheduled later in the day and hung in for the party. Ayden, the 4-year-old, wanted to know if his new baby sister would make the festivities, Jenna Cotton said.

“He has been really excited about her coming,” she said. “He kept asking when she was going to come out.”

He wouldn’t have to wait long. His mother’s doctor sent her to a hospital, where 7-pound, 8-ounce Kayla was born at 7:07 p.m. Tuesday.

The odds of a family having three children born on the same date in different years are about 7.5 in 1 million, said Bill Notz, a statistics professor at Ohio State University.

The Cottons don’t plan to roll the dice on a fourth Oct. 2 baby, saying that’s it for them, as far as having children.

NFL football picks

I’ve never been much of a better but I do follow Football, baseball and hockey games and occasionally enter into friendly bets with friends. I do know a lot of people that bet seriously on games, well on just about anything really. I guess it can be addictive, and maybe I’m just lucky that it never caught on too much with me.

I did find a site that I’m told is one of the oldest sports handicapping websites online today. Jimfeist.com offers Football Picks and full game analysis on all major games and sports including basketball, football, hockey, baseball, horse racing, golf and many more. Free picks are offered daily as well in order to showcase the handicapper’s talents at calling the game’s winner.

Jimfeist.com has everything you need to stay ahead of the game. There are several sections to the site including scores and stats, Proline, Sports Picks and even contests - there are four active contests right now. You can also get workbooks and magazines, sports schedules, schedule updates, league reports, plus information from Linetracker.com and OffshoreConnection.com.

I know I’m going to have to tell a few friends about this site so they can get their sports picks. I’ll probably never see them anymore once I tell them about this site ’cause they’ll be too busy hanging out on it doing all their sports betting.

Woman dies beside own grave

How eerie is this? A Dutch woman, who had already planned her own funeral and purchased her plot after her husbands death last year, was found dead next to the grave in Amsterdam where she wanted to be buried. The widow, 65, probably died of a heart attack while she was visiting the family grave where her name, but no date, was already inscribed.

She had been carrying a bag with her that containing her will and had already organised details of her funeral including the music she wanted played.

I wonder if she really did just happen to die beside her own grave to be, or if she committed suicide? The report doesn’t state whether an autopsy was performed.
