This is the kind of thing that only I wonder about…

I'm sure you saw this on People Magazine online (because, of course, you totally follow celebrity news, right?).  Last week or so they mentioned that superhero cyclist and cancer survivor extraordinaire (no joke, he's really amazing) Lance Armstrong and his girlfriend of six months are having a baby together.   But…ok, this is going to sound weird, and I'm probably the only one wondering this, but as soon as I read the headline my mind started going a mile a minute, like "Isn't Lance Armstrong the one who had testicular cancer that spread to his lungs and brain, and didn't he have his (ahem) testicles removed, and didn't he freeze his sperm for future use before chemo and radiation, and don't we only KNOW this because he and his wife at the time made such a big deal out of the fact that they had three kids after he had cancer, and you can do it too, and don't give up, and the whole thing?"

All I'm saying is, I don't believe that it is possible for Lance Armstrong to get someone pregnant by accident anymore (even though he IS superhuman), so the only conclusion I can derive with my limited, celebrity magazine information is that they must have had a REALLY great first date, then decided to proceed several months later to the clinic, where they checked out a vial of sperm, then used in-vitro.  And like, to me that's something you might not want to commit to when you've only been dating a few months.   Is anyone with me on this?  That is alot of money, and paperwork, and invasive medical procedures for two people who practically only just met.

This is when you go "Wow, Lori– you are really a very strange person.  Who would think that?"
