(CNN) — On January 12, a magnitude-7.0 quake struck Haiti just southwest of the capital, Port-au-Prince. On February 27, an 8.8-magnitude quake hit Chile near that nation’s second largest city, Concepcion. That same day there was a 7.0 quake off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, and just this week a 6.4 quake hit southern Taiwan.

(Disclaimer: No offense to adherents is intended; we merely hope to point out for those undecided spiritual seekers that not all religions come with equal price tags.)
Just in case there was any residual doubt that Lady Gaga was harboring a penis under her glittery stagewear, photos from her amazing Grammy performance indicate she’s all female.
Last summer at a concert in the UK, an upskirt snap of Gaga showed what looked like a tiny penis. Gaga was the subject of widespread hermaphrodite rumors and embraced as a post-gender icon before she defended her “beautiful vagina.”
The chances of cracking open a double yolked egg are pretty slim. One tenth of one per cent in fact.
So imagine the odds of going through a half-dozen box from the supermarket and finding that all of them had two yolks.
