Poor, poor Katie Holmes...

Courtesy of Drudge, there's a story in the Sun Online today that reports Tom Cruise says he wants to eat the placenta when Katie delivers thier publicity stunt baby.

You just can't make this stuff up.

Frankly, I wouldn't have been so surprised if Tom had just come out and said he was going to eat the baby, that's somewhat understandable. Baby's are so yummy and tender... Mmmmm... Baby. But a placenta? Raw? Blaugh...

Now, as I've mentioned, I worked on a horse farm, and when a foal is born, you collect the placenta because it is good for eatin', or hanging on walls, or something - frankly, I don't remember, I was 14 and it was pretty gross. But, Tom. You're not a horse.

You're a man. And men don't eat their women's placentas. It's just not done. And think of all the girl-cooties this placenta will have in it. I had sort of gotten the impression you weren't so much into the girls, you do know where a placenta comes from, don't you?

Tom's just moved one more step toward total Michael Jackson-ification. Poor, poor Katie Holmes. Katie: there's always a place for you here, you know.

I think Tom is losing it...

Reminds me of when I was in my last months of pregnancy with you, and good ol' Doc Slimfingers was discussing delivery with me. I told him I didn't want any anaesthesia, that I wanted a "totally natural childbirth". To which he replied "Okay, if you're going to do that, then you have to eat the placenta after the baby is born."

Wonder if that was the moment I decided to go vegetarian....

I've heard all kinds of weird things regarding placentas. I've heard of people eating it raw. I've heard that if you saute it with onions and serve it with red wine, it's actually "edible". I've heard of people inviting their immediate family over to partake in this. I've also heard of a couple that planted a tree after their son was born and they buried the placenta underneath it. I'm not sure how the tree did after that...

It's all nucking futz.

Now that the TomKitten has been sprogged, I guess we'll find out won't we?

Yeah - file this under things I really don't want to know, but now for some ungodly reason, now that you've said it, I can't get it out of my head.

Damn you, Kal - I had just eaten, too.

Blech.

The best thing about placenta is cold placenta sandwiches the day after...
