LOLtrasound: The Movie

As I mentioned yesterday, my wife and I went in for her anatomy scan. They took lots of measurements to gauge the baby’s development and, according to the doctor, everything looks great. As far as they can tell, my wife will give birth to a healthy baby girl sometime in mid-to-late February.

To celebrate, I made a short Flash animation out of the best ultrasound screenshots. The pictures are, by any measure, beautiful and wonderful and I’m not biased because I’m her father so shut up. Because I’m far too juvenile for polite society, I added some captions that I thought were amusing.

I’m a horrible parent, and my baby hasn’t even been born yet.


And That, Darling, Is What Really Happened

It turns out that our fears of a dark, dystopian future are silly, because we’re already living in it. If you don’t believe it, the brilliant British cartoon series Monkey Dust will set you straight.

Very dark, very British, and very, very funny. You can grab a more detailed description from Ectoplasmosis, or dive in and watch the first series below. It’s not safe for work, children, the squeamish, and anyone who’s uncomfortable with jokes about pedophilia or discerning the meaning of slang from context.
