Singing in Pregnancy May Be Harder Work

"In this study, researchers followed a professionally trained singer through 12 weeks of pregnancy and for 12 weeks after she gave birth.

Biology test (cute)

Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk,' worth 70 points or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. He wrote:

2.) It provides immunity against several diseases.

3.) It is always the right temperature.
4.) It is inexpensive.
5.) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6.) It is always available as needed.

And then, the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell indicating the end of the test rang, he wrote...

7.) It comes in 2 cute containers.

He got an A.
