Or maybe it's because it's hard to test drugs for preggos.
Like there was a drug called Thalidomide but it had horrible side effects.
I understand it's making a comeback.
Great!
My favorite show as a kid was Flipper.

There are left- and right-chiral thalidomide molecules. IIRC, it's the left version that doesn't cause the birth defects, and a way was found to only generate them with the chemical process, which previously made both versions.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

It supposedly also has a Black Box Warning about contraindications for reproductive-aged females.
Though all this really isn't doing any favors for the "Flipper" joke...

Homer’s epic is called The Iliad because ‘Ilion’ was another name for Troy. The -ad suffix means ‘story of’.
So, a reasonable translation of the title would be ‘Troy Story’.

When U2 played a concert in Glasgow, Bono walked on stage and called for silence. Then he began a slow, rhythmic clap, about once every second. This when on for a bit, then he said, 'Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.'
The audience sat stunned for a second or two, until a voice from the front row shouted, 'Then stop doin' it, ya heartless bastard!!'

When I die, I’d like to have my remains scattered around Disney World.

I was walking through the jungle (like you do) and saw a lizard walking about on his hind legs, telling jokes. I turned to one of the local tribesmen and said, ‘Wow! That lizard is really funny!’
‘He’s not just a lizard,’ said the tribesman. ‘He’s a stand up chameleon.’
