    Babies definitely pick up on voices in utero. My coworker spent 8-9 hours a day in a shared office with me 5 days a week throughout her entire pregnancy (she worked until the day before her C-section, because she is a badass). Once her daughter was born, she would gravitate towards me whenever I'd talk around her--lots of eye movement and eventually head movement. She wasn't even remotely interested in the other people in our office who spoke relatively rarely to her mom.

    No word yet on whether she learned to cuss more efficiently or picked up Excel tips, though. #babiescryinmothersaccent

    My mind went straight to stereotypical American accents.

    As a concrete researcher, I must say that one of my very very pet peeves is when the term concrete and cement are used intermittently. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!! #boxing

    @JRae: Cement is a binding agent. Concrete is a mixture of water, cement, fine aggregate (sand), and coarse aggregate (gravel), with admixture. Cement is an ingredient of concrete. Like eggs are to cake. #boxing

    @Vulcan Has No Moon: Thank you :-)

    In short, cement is the powder that you add to your water and aggregates to create a hardened product that is concrete.

    So let's hope that you are driving on a concrete pavement and not a cement one, because if that would be the case - you'd be driving on a nice grey powder. #boxing

    Dear Mary Ellen,

    If you want to keep 15 cats and live in a town, keep them indoors and off your neighbor's property. As long as you scoop the litterboxes daily all should be fine and no one will ever know how many cats you really have in there.

    And yes, I speak from experience. No further details will be disclosed.

    So in the interest of making abortion harder to access ([jezebel.com]), some people are holding up legislation that could prevent the actual deaths of actual infants? Because what, if it's not a choice, it's okay? GUESS WHAT? THIS IS A CHOICE. THIS IS A CHOICE YOU ARE MAKING TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR LOW-INCOME WOMEN TO HAVE PRENATAL CARE.

    I would like to go home now. #boxing

    It always cracks me up how Ireland does well at boxing in the olympics. We can't play most sports, we can't manage our economy, but we sure as hell can drink and fight. Well done us.

    Oh, and we can play a hell of a rugby match too... though I probably shouldn't tempt fate a week and a half before the first autumn international.

    @onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: Hurling and its female equivalent, camogie, are insane. They essentially just involve running around a pitch beating the shit out of people with sticks. But we probably oughtn't take too much national pride in being good at a game that we invented and only we play (on the other hand we don't call the All-Ireland final a 'World Series', tee hee).

    Her father said "you could write 10 pages" about what he had to do to get her into the Irish Amateur Boxing Association.

    I'm from Texas and we're prone to exaggeration down here and I had to chuckle at this bit because I know I would have said "You could write a freaking novel..." I love that her dad was so precise in his measurement of how many pages could be written. #boxing

    So Katie Taylor** can fight with the men. She can sit in the same room of the pub as the men. But, oh Ireland, won't you give her her reproductive freedom too?

    Haha, it does not really surprise me that Germans don't like 30 Rock. Having seen some weird (really really weird!) shit on their television, it seems like their comedy is when they really let loose from their rather reserved demeanor (think slapstick, but... weirder). The understated and ironic humour of 30 Rock isn't manic enough, I don't think. #teens

    Ugh, that first story reminds me of when I was in high school and during Christmas break a bunch of my friends decided to have a huge party with 20+ people in a motel room, complete with alcohol and pot. They all got busted and arrested, but when we got back from break, the school had gotten wind of the incident and suspended all the kids involved and expelled a few. They were all stupid and deserved getting caught by the cops, but the school intervening was bullshit, and the kids whose parents could afford to lawyer up got off significantly easier. #teens
