Blogging Like I've Never Blogged Before

Holy crap. The only survivor of a plane crash in Sudan that killed 115 people was a two year old baby. One report said he was in good condition, but there is another that said he lost a leg, which I wouldn't necessarily consider good. But still, that's pretty amazing that he didn't die, especially when everyone else pretty much burned to death on impact. My theory is being that he is a baby, he was thrown far away from the plane and landed in a bucket of jelly, which broke his fall, and kept him fed until help arrived.

This poor kid will probably now have to be adopted by someone. He'll probably grow up to be really cocky, though. He'll always talk about the time he was a SuperBaby that survived a plane crash that no one else came close to living through. He probably won't tell people about the good fortune he had with the bucket full of jelly. When other kids ask him why he's named JellyBucket Mgbutu, he'll say some crap like, "JellyBucket translates to Bravest Baby Ever. It's an old Native American name."

***UPDATE*** Turns out that JellyBucket is a girl.
