Cap It Off

I was perusing Yahoo's homepage today while I was at work (you know that perusing Yahoo's homepage is actually in my job description) and I came across the news that a set of octuplets was born in California yesterday. First of all, I was surprised to hear that all eight of them are breathing on their own despite being nine weeks premature. Second, I was surprised to hear that they were only expecting to find seven babies. How scary is that - you think you're having seven babies which is crazy enough as is, and then bam, they pull out an eighth one? That is one of my irrational fears, that I'll be delivering my first child and all of a sudden a second one is like "Hey there, you have to be my mom too!" I know it's a lot easier for an eighth to hide than a second one, but I have a feeling I'll eat a lot during pregnancy. Like more than I do now. But I digress....Here's the third and final thing that surprised me about this story. The surgeon's cap:

Surgeon's caps are not known to be particularly roomy. Personally, I've never worn one - women wear those stupid shower cap looking things, despite what Grey's Anatomy would have you to believe - but I've seen plenty of men in them, and they all look pretty form fitting. Which leads me to wonder where this surgeon got such a big cap, and why he needs such a big cap. Does he have a lot of hair? An insanely large forehead? Now I'm going to be wondering this forever, because you know I'll never see a picture of him without his cap off. And the best part of the picture is that the dude on the left may very well be contemplating the same thing.
