Mom to almost-18 Michelle Duggar is going to be one toothless old biddy, if this new study holds any water: according to the data, women who give birth to more children lose more teeth, regardless of socioeconomic status, reports Reuters. Even "in the highest socioeconomic group, women with no children were missing on average less than one tooth, those with one child were missing about two teeth and those with four or more were missing about five teeth." In the lowest social strata, women with four or more children were missing more than eight teeth, on average. Women are more prone to gingivitis during pregnancy, and when knocked up are less likely to go to the dentist, according to experts, who say gestating women want to avoid dental X-rays.

This Week We Loved Our Moms, Our Undies, Ourselves

We agreed we would lie to our kids about our debauched pasts. There will be fewer than eighteen of them, trust.
You could do a lot of debaucherous damage with these crazy underoos from the International Male folks.
We didn't just talk about International Males, we discussed international and race relations, and vowed to try harder.
We also gave some real talk about sex writing.
More real talk: forgetting there's a tampon in your twat.

We got to know virgin-hoarding cult leader Michael Travesser and his band of wack jobs.
We got some LOLs out of douchefessionals John Fitzgerald Page and Paul Janka.
We said goodbye to our own Jennifer, who is departing for greener Polo pastures. She will be missed!
This weekend, pour one out for all the white wine drinking, on-the-toilet phone talking, track suit wearing mommas out there. Happy Mothers Day, moms; we love you!

Mom-To-17 Michelle Duggar Set To Birth Another Damn Baby

Dodai — Fri, 09 May 2008 13:30:00 EDT

This morning on the Today show, Michelle Duggar, who has given birth to seventeen children, announced that she is pregnant. Again. One of her older sons practically gagged as he responded to the news, and her husband, Jim Bob, said the pregnancy was not planned: "We let the Lord decide," he explained. Oh, God. Anyway: The kids proceeded to shower Michelle with gifts; one daughter said, "My mom mentioned a while back that she really would like a pearl necklace." (Hey kid, maybe she didn't mean jewelry? Maybe it was a quiet plea to get the hubs to try spilling his seed somewhere not near her uterus?) When the same daughter explained that she bought an outfit as a gift because "My mom is usually pregnant," no one could contain their laughter. Clip above. (Oh, and the new baby's name will begin with a J, clearly. Any suggestions? Jennifer, Joshua, John David, Janna, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, and Johannah are already taken.)
