Somethings interesting

Boys and girls, today's post is all about things which i heard or read today. Some are interesting, some are insightful:

You never get over anyone, you simply get used to it.
This is what Chris Rock said in Inside The Actor's Studio, when he was talking about the death of his father. I think he said it really well, you never get over their loss, you simply get used to them not being there anymore. You build a life that doesn't have them any more and yet you never forget the old life in your head.

The Masochist said, Hit Me. The Sadist said, No.
I heard this on this audio book i am listening to about the mind. I thought it was so funny and so deep!! I found out something else from the audio book...

Freud's interpretation of morning sickness: morning sickness is the result of the mother's loathing of her husband. The subconscious manifestation of this is a desire to abort the fetus through vomiting.
Oh this one was also hilarious! oral abortion. Only Freud would come up with that. Of course another interpretation, based on evolutionary theories, is that the period of time when the mother has morning sickness is when the fetus is just starting to develop organs and it is most sensitive to toxins and so by making the mother incapable of eating food with specific taste or smell. The morning sickness stops when the fetus has grown its organs and is no longer as in danger. Actually all this info is better said in the link above.
But what was also interesting was that people who have more severe morning sickness generally miscarry less and the fetus is born without any defects. Goes opposite to what I had thought. Now when I get pregnant, do I want to be sick!! :-P
