Starving children make cool t-shirts

We're trying to teach our son the value of money management. We've put one of his drawings onto t-shirts. Things are tight these days and he'll need to start feeding himself. He's a smart kid, he'll do fine. You have to be crafty when you're pinching pennies... and crafty, he is. Please do what you can to help a 3 and a half year old make it through another day. Visit here and buy, buy, buy.

He titled his artwork, "Two Holes on a House". Yes, that's right. Brilliant.

There are tons of styles, colors and sizes of shirts to choose from. Men, women and children will benefit greatly from my son's genius, abstract illustration.

If you want to look good and feel good and look good... get over there and buy a bajillion. Don't break my adorable son's heart. He's very excited about his artwork being on t-shirts.

Much appreciated,
Amy

Skeleton Love

Okay, so it's been a million years since I've posted. Sorry about that. Anyway, thought I'd share this article. If you haven't heard of it already, that is. Below is a very cool photo of skeletons, but not just any skeletons... they are a skeleton couple locked in an embrace. Just in time for Valentine's Day.

Skeleton Couple Locked in Embrace for 5,000 Years

Wednesday, February 07, 2007

ROME — It could be humanity's oldest story of doomed love. Archaeologists have unearthed two skeletons from the Neolithic period locked in a tender embrace and buried outside Mantua, just 25 miles south of Verona, the romantic city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale of Romeo and Juliet.

Buried between 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, the prehistoric lovers are believed to have been a man and a woman and are thought to have died young, as their teeth were found intact, said Elena Menotti, the archaeologist who led the dig.

"As far as we know, it's unique," Menotti told The Associated Press by telephone from Milan. "Double burials from the Neolithic are unheard of, and these are even hugging."

The burial site was located Monday during construction work for a factory building in the outskirts of Mantua. Alongside the couple, archaeologists found flint tools, including arrowheads and a knife, Menotti said.

Experts now will study the artifacts and the skeletons to determine the burial site's age and how old the two were when they died, she said.
