I'm sure this applies...

So the first story that was on the newspaper that caught my attention for some reason had to do with pregnant women. Apparently researchers in California discovered that caffeine doubles the chances of a miscarriage in pregnant women! I don't know why this caught my attention, nor do I know why I would post about it. From what I can tell, I don't think any of the readers of this blog really need to worry about this kind of thing for awhile. I say that, because I'm pretty sure I know who the readers of this blog are, this doesn't really apply. But what I do know, is that this would mean that drinks like coffee, and one of my personal favorites, Coca-Cola, would be included in the list of drinks that would double the chances of a miscarriage. Enough of that topic, since it's making me a little uncomfortable.

Second story would be about a man that woke up in the middle of a wake. Doesn't sound all that interesting does it. Well what would you say if I told you that the wake was for the man that woke up! So this 81 year old man in a small Chilean village woke up during his wake. Apparently, his family had found him cold and limp, and decided that he was dead. So after the family found him, they decided to call the funeral home... not a doctor. In which, during his wake, the family was grieving his loss, when one of the family members was looking down, looked away, and when this person looked back, the 81 year old man was looking right back at him! So the good news, is the man is fine, and very not dead. On the other hand it makes the family look kinda foolish. Oh also, included in the article, apparently when he woke up he asked for a glass of water. Not that it's terribly important to the story, I just felt like including it.

On that note, of the 81 year old man waking up, I wondered, what would I ask for? I don't know, but what do you think you would ask for Mr. or Ms. person that is currently reading my blog? Please do leave a comment telling me what you think you would ask for!
