4 silly links

I'm posting this later in the day, with the hopes you'll look at it once you get home from work. Because, really, probably not links you need to explore while at work. (That was a warning.)
- A woman takes pictures of her cervix for an entire menstrual cycle over at my beautiful cervix. Fascinating. I can't think of another adjective for it. Also — babies come through there. That part is insane.
- The 2 girls, 1 cup cake. Possibly safe to marvel over at work, but maybe not. Worth the click through for the story on this one. Cause really, this might be the best cake ever.
- The best (and most absurd) "my name is" sticker ever. Also, not really for work.
- Finally, a work-safe link. Someone seriously built a site called "You've been left behind" where they promise to send emails and files to people left behind after the Rapture. Wired covers it and it is still blowing my mind. Take the 5 minutes to read about the article. The sheer number of assumptions made with this is amazing — even if we assume the Rapture will happen soon, there are an amazing number of other issues with the entire system. Like "will the infrastructure of the Internet really still be operating 6 days after a bunch of people are called to Heaven?" or "what if all the people I send my stuff to are also called up?" and "what kind of self-righteous jerk am I for assuming I'm going to Heaven and my loved ones aren't?" and "40 bucks a year? Really?" Anyway.

Actually, the best cake ever was given to me at my 32nd birthday party. It was a full-color marzipan replica of a pouch of Red Man chewing tobacco. Not screen printed, but painstakingly cut out of homemade sheets of marzipan with an X-Acto blade. I've been looking for a photo all night, but alas, it seems it's been lost to history.
