raven: [hello my name is] and a silhouette image of a raven (sleep...)
[personal profile] raven
I love the Urban Legends reference pages. They write about and debunk all kinds of myths, although the odd one does turn out to be true (yes, George Bush did declare Jesus Day in Texas). I was just reading a whole section dedicated to myths surrounding pregnancy and babies - apparently, it is true that two babies born on aircraft have got free air travel for life, and even had their educations sponsored by the airlines, which I thought was a great idea. The other thing I was reading about was the rabbit pregnancy test. I know this is not a myth, as Pedar has had to perform it more than once, apparently, but I read the article anyway, and was surprised when I got down to the "Sightings" section. This concept has appeared on M*A*S*H in an episode called, ironically, "What's up, doc?" They even gave the video clip of Hawkeye trying to explain to Radar why Fluffy the rabbit's days are numbered. I have just had a nice few minutes watching it and laughing, which made Pedar come into to see if I'd lost my mind, despite the fact he's watching Analyze This in the kitchen. I wanted to watch it, but couldn't, because I said I'd revise. Of course, I haven't been revising - I've been sitting here on the internet.

The clip is here. I feel sorry for the rabbit, myself. Wonder if they did kill it?

I thought pregnant women weren't supposed to fly while pregnant?
