Today I learned that in the 1950's the American Radiator and Standard Sanitation Company produced and marketed urinals for women. They, of course, did not catch on with the general public but the idea is sort of an interesting one. You can look at the lovely vintage ads that feature this curious product here.

I also learned that my Delaware Hen, Shelly, had popped out twins - or a double yoker as we have taken to calling them. It's not so rare as to warrant medical curiosity not also not so common that it's not still a little exciting. I can't help but think it looks like a good omen. Either that or it just looks painful.

As a bonus I also learned that the San Francisco Police Department has become the first law enforcement agency to participant in the It Gets Better Project. These darn things always make me cry and this was no exception - althought not quite as bad as the Apple, Inc video which I still can't watch without turning into a mess.

You can watch the SFPD video here and the Apple, Inc video here. If you are not familiar with this project I highly recommend you check it out.
