Something is WRONG on the Internet. Happy (early) April Fools/Internet Awareness Day.

Last supper portion sizes have grown Did anyone link to this? I can't find it but I find it hard to believe that nobody did. Anyway, so this study looked at the food portion sizes in depictions of the Last Supper during history and found that they have gotten bigger over the years.

MetaCouch? So this has both a specific and more general component -- what are the specs on using something affiliated with MeFi as an analog to couch surfing? I am specifically looking for a friendly crash spot and maybe a tour companion if my partner and I went to Detroit from April 8-10 (Frozen Four), but I could see this being useful at other times. Terms, of course, negotiable; we are an awesome couple in our early 30s.

Newborn denied health insurance because of preexisting condition This one hits me pretty hard because that could have been my kid. We have the same insurance company, and my son was born with that precise heart condition. Luckily for us, BCBS didn't choose to deny coverage.

AskMechaaaaaaa I could have sworn there was a site (it might have even been on MeFi) that let you search any query with arbitrarily repeating characters and graph the results -- i.e., "kha*an" would search "khan", "khaan", "khaaan", "khaaaan", etc., and compare the number of results for each on a chart. But I can't find it anywhere in my history/bookmarks/googles, only one-off images done manually. Am I imagining this?

Hot & spicy food? Love it! But... it gives me the hiccups. Just wondering if I'm a total anomaly, or if this happens to anyone else. Anything really hot, like Thai curry, or Indian curry, some Korean or Chinese dishes... I'll get the hiccups almost immediately: right after the first bite. Usually lasts for a couple minutes at most, so it7s not debilitating or anything. But, anybody else have this? Or heard of it?

As you can see in the picture, I overestimated how fast she would grow. I made matching slippers too but they were far too large, and probably won't fit until next year.
And yes, I actually do call my grandniece "Cauliflower" — it's a pun on her name.
