Celebrity-Centric Entry No. Something
As anyone who has had the misfortune of catching what passes for news likely knows, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now the parents of a baby girl. (No word on if Miss Holmes succeeded in the drug-free, noise-free birth that Scientology calls for, but that's another story.)
Moving back on topic, the girl has been named Suri, and a spokesman explained "that Suri has its origins in ancient Hebrew, as a variant on Sarah, the biblical matriarch". There's just one problem: no one uses the Hebrew word suri to mean that anymore. In fact, in modern Hebrew, suri means approximately "get out of here". Oops.
(Get out of here Cruise. Hrmm. Toss a comma in there, and I'd say it's actually a good choice. About sums up my feelings on the matter.)
I think you've summed up most of our feelings on the matter
Noise-free birth? That hardly seems fair. I mean those Scientologists were certainly making some noise when they were singing me a happy birthday tune. I guess it all changes once they lure you and take away your reactive mind.

Aye, noise-free. First week or so of a baby's life needs to be noise free, or something like that, for reasons I fail to understand.
According to someone else, it wasn't drug-free though. Weak, I tell you — all she needed was juice and lots of vitamins.
