Dumb Babies & No-Hitters

1. Researchers reported on Wednesday that toddlers born to mothers who took the epilepsy drug valproate have lower IQ's than toddlers who were not.

But some thought the symbolism went too far when 1/3 of the crowd died from smallpox.

5. Russian surgeons were shocked this past week when they discovered a small fir tree growing inside a man's lungs. The man was put under the knife after a growth was detected and presumed to be cancerous. However, doctors were shocked yet again with what they found within that fir tree. You guessed it: Anthony Edwards circa Revenge of the Nerds...


High five.
