That's no baby, that's a manchild!

Janet Johnson and JaMichael Brown were told to expect a large baby.  A few weeks ago, they were told their future son might weigh 12 or 13 pounds at birth, due to his mother’s gestational diabetes.  Well, the joke is on the nurses and doctors at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, Texas; Janet Johnson’s baby wasn’t 12 pounds.  JaMichael Brown was a 16-pound newborn baby boy.  There have been some big babies, but this just may be the biggest baby born on American soil in, well, ever.

“It’s a beautiful baby, but for health reasons we’d rather not see a baby this large.  They can have a little harder time maintaining their blood sugar,” said nurse Mary Beth Smith, who helped deliver the two-foot-long miracle.  JaMichael is currently in the neonatal intensive care unit, though he seems to be in good health.

This 16-pound miracle baby easily bests a similar 14-pound baby born in California, but falls slightly short of the 19-pound baby born in Indonesia.  Still, JaMichael is one of the largest babies ever born in the state of Texas, if not THE largest baby ever born in Texas, so he’s pretty remarkable.  Fortunately, his mother, Janet Johnson, told everyone not to buy newborn clothing for her gigantic child.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
