For the 5th on the December meme, shati asked me to write about placentas.

Here is what you need to know about placentas: one time three or four years ago Shati came to visit me. The plan was to spend the whole weekend watching Ugly Betty. Instead we spent about 20% of the weekend watching Ugly Betty, 30% of the weekend detailing elaborate and implausible crossovers between Angel and Ugly Betty (I can't remember how any of them went but THEY WERE GREAT and way better than Angel sans Ugly Betty crossover), 10% of the weekend drinking margaritas, and 40% of the weekend shrieking incomprehensible bad jokes about placentas. The reasons for this are lost in the sands of time. What are placentas? We just don't know. (We do, actually, know. But Shati refuses to believe that we do.)

no I legitimately forgot what they're made of

[skygiants]

MEAT. They're made out of meat.

Technically they are made out of BABY MEAT, which predominantly expresses the dad's genes, setting up a really interesting conflict of interest between the sexes about how much food the baby can suck out of the mom. Just in case you can make some bad jokes out of that, I mean, I am here to serve.

What I mostly know about placentas is that Tom Cruise ate one. I think it was Tom Cruise.

...???? Really??

Cruise: I will eat the placenta.

I feel there must be evil, baby-devouring placentas in Yuki Kaori manga. Just because, Yuki Kaori!

[rachelmanija]

I had the exact same thought!
