Wanna Be a Dad?
Stop drinking six months before conception.
Can alcohol affect sperm? Dads-to-be should stop drinking 6 months before conception, study finds
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy has long been linked to congenital defects and developmental problems in newborns. Now a new study has found a link between a baby's congenital heart defects and their prospective parents' drinking before conception
Compared to non-drinkers, fathers who drank during the three months before conception were 44% more likely to have babies born with congenital heart disease.
If the prospective dads were binge drinkers, which was defined as downing five or more drinks per session, there was a 52% higher likelihood their baby would have a congenital heart defect.

Sobering news, no pun intended. Even though I'm no scientist, it makes sense. Alcohol IS, after all, technically a poison.
OTOH, I suspect a LOT of "conception events" are directly due to alcohol consumption.

Bulldog VS Dinosaur
From another of my favorite YouTube channels, Elvis and Khalee: "two bratty bulldogs who enjoy watching TV and mouthing off to our parents!'. It's hilarious how they recognize villains or monsters in movies, especially from horror flicks.
Other than barking at bad guys, they really seem to enjoy watching TV, especially nature shows. Their reaction to some cheetahs in a recent video made me LOL because when one saw the big cats on TV, it barked for the other to come provide some backup.
You'd never have to worry about Freddy Krueger or Jason if you had these two dogs.
Their owners also post some very unusual time lapse videos of some very odd events in their garage. I'm not sure if they're a spoof or hoax, but it's weird.
