Its a trick of the eye. Fat people appear to have small genitals, but in reality, its just that the rest of them is so big.

For many women, it's not so much the extra weight as when they gain it. Weight gained during pregnancy really makes feet grow bigger because all the hormones make your joints looser. My feet got a little bigger during pregnancy, but not terribly, because most of the weight I've gained since adolescence was not during pregnancy. Since high school my feet have gotten just over 1/2 size bigger. My sister gained a lot of weight while pregnant, and over two pregnancies she's gained at least one shoe size, if not 1 1/2.

My feet are the exact same size as they were when I was 17. How about yours, Coltrane?

I'm sure it could be ordered from the amazon link.
I added a bunch of these to my Netflix queue this afternoon. I can't remember which ones they didn't have.

BTW - Whale Rider is amazing.

According to Howard Stern, guys shrink their penises by getting fat since a fat pad builds up around the base, which reduces the legnth of penis available for display and penetration.

I agree. My feet went up half a size while pregnant and never really went back to their original size. Which sucks, because all my totally sexy fuck-me pumps now really hurt. Which isn't to say I won't wear them. I'm too vain to let a little discomfort get in the way of a really great outfit.

Klan dress isn't racist?

Aussie soldiers say their appearing in a photo in full Klan dress wasn't racist. Other peculiar incidents by Aussie soldiers include

Kenneth Turan does movie reviews for Morning Edition on NPR and he did a promo for the book. It sounded like a good read, and when I break down on my book buying moratorium, I'll pick it up.

I have a lot of friends that are with child right now. I am horrified to have discovered that their shoe size has changed as their due dates appears. Apparently, they're not guaranteed to fit in their old shoes once the kids arrive. That is troublesome to me and makes me reconsider my previous statements about maybe wanting to have kids some day.

ETA: and the people who have been pregnant confirm this. damnit. my feet are big enough as it is.

Report from my extremely small sample size is: there has been no change in shoe size during the two pregnancies I have caused. I can make my services available to you, but the FTC requires me to say YMMV.

Somehow it falls to me to point out that your attempts at humor are premised on the misspelling of "annual" as "anal" by an illiterate Texan. The torture of the English language by illiterates is not a laughing matter --- it is a disturbing indication that the second law of thermodynamics applies to the field of information theory. PLF would want you to know this, were he not a pale shadow of his former self --- a fading torch in the darkening gloom. Oh, fuck.

Are you sure that's not denial? Or a white lie? Because I have never known anyone who had a baby and didn't go up at least 1 shoe size.
