Dr. Vini Khurana, who did the study, is no slouch. He isn’t some crazy “technology is bad lets go churn our own butter” type of quack. No, Dr. Khurana is a top neurosurgeon who receives awards for his published scientific papers. And he says, cell phones will double your risk of brain cancer.
He also says, that kids especially should not be using them: “He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but concludes that “there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours”. He believes this will be “definitively proven” in the next decade.” Read the rest of this entry »
There was a throwdown at the local Chuck E. Cheese this past weekend. It wasn’t a disgruntled worker. It wasn’t even a couple of kids bumrushing at the ball pit. No, it was 2 grown moms duking it out in front of the kids.
Catherine Aliaga, 38, and Tarsha Williams, 33 both from Boston were charged with assault and battery because the mother of the 9 year old birthday boy got pissed at the other women’s boy for hogging a video game.
Are you kidding me? Is it true that women are actually doing lingerie parties instead of tupperware parties these days? According to a post at MomLogic.com, “Gal pals drink cocktails and chat while a hot brunette models the lingerie, and a lingerie boutique owner takes their orders.”
Ummm. Is this honestly for real or some twisted joke? Please answer these great mysteries if you know the answer.
In case any women are wondering: us men don’t get together for poker night. Instead we drink beer and burp while a buff model wears banana hammocks, and a boutique owner take our orders. There. I said it.
China’s population represents 20.8% of the global population. It is also emerging as the next giant world economic power. China has not shown any interest in changing its official language or moving away from using 汉字 (characters) for their writing. While many Chinese speak English and in many places there is English signage (some of it pretty hilarious), business in China is still conducted in Chinese.
Kids have the capacity to learn anything, even a tonal language with writing that gives you no clue as to the tone or pronunciation. Sure, it takes a lot of practice and dedication. Actually, it takes a LOT of time and dedication and practice and usage, but in the end it is worth it because the language is incredibly useful
Now that you’re sold, how do you get the kids learning Chinese? If they are little (3-6), consider the new show on Nick Jr, Ni Hao Kai Lan. Kai Lan Chow is a bubbly, Dora-like cutie-pie who loves to play games and do cool activities with her friends. She speaks both English and Mandarin Chinese, mostly weaving the latter in when she is talking to both her friends and your kids. The show also deals with behavior issues that kids have and tries to teach them how to be patient and how to share. The sage for advice is Kai Lan’s 爷爷 （yeye) which is Chinese for paternal grandfather. He teaches the kids about Chinese culture, makes them dumplings and Chinese New Year dinner, performs taiji quan and supervises fun activities like backyard camping, a dragon parade and dragon boat races.
Yes, that’s right, this woman is pregnant and is about to give birth on her 7th birthday. Ok, so she was born in 1980 but this woman was born on a Leap Year so she has only had 6 birthdays so far. The real story is she is pregnant and, if she doesn’t deliver earlier, will be induced on February 29th. That means that her child will also be born on a Leap Year day.
One out of every 1,461 people is born on Leap Day. Read more here.
Apparently that cuddly red monster in your kids rooms may want to kill them. There is a story out of Florida of an Elmo doll that has been threatening the kid of the house with the words, “Kill James”. The kid, named James, obviously is terrified and so is his mother who complained to the company.
It happened after Melissa Bowman changed the batteries in her son’s Elmo Knows Your Name” doll. If you ask me, that name has monster to kid molestation written all over it.
If you recall, not only does Elmo want to kill your kid, Bert works for the Taliban. Recently, Elmo was spotted chilling with Chucky at the local Sesame Street Gun Shop.

The offending suckers were red Pokemon-themed heart lollipops. And even if you don’t think you or your kids’ classmates bought their candy at the Doller Store, this is a great reminder to always check candy before you give it to your kids.
There has been no official determination yet on how many lollipops are affected or whether it is a manufacturing glitch or an act of tampering.
In a past Master Debaters article we asked noodad.com readers to give their opinions on circumcisions for their sons. Whether you’re a lawsuit-filing Intactivist bent on trimming circumcision from the litany of routine procedures for newborns, or you celebrate the cut like new mom and pop diva Christina Aguilera, the decision to circumcise (or not) is highly contentious. Don’t stress about the issue too much, though, because your decision to circumcise your son isn’t necessarily the last word on his foreskin. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s Lego’s 50th anniversary. Everyone is excited about it. Even Google did a Lego logo which tells you the overall significance and influence of the toy on the population at large. Gizmodo, another internet dynamo, did a story on the top 50 Lego sets of all time.
My brother and I were Lego junkies. We were more into the plain blocks than the sets, but we did manage to get ourselves a castle and some space legos. These facilitated inventing Transformers long before Optimus Prime hit the market. We would build ships that we could turn into robots out of Legos. The challenge of course was keeping these en tact as overall our Lego resources were not infinite and we both had a large desire to destroy one guys Krakkarakon to build our Lazatronatar.
A recent report has said that cell phone use is more dangerous than smoking. This is due to the radiation to the brain that cell phones give off that could lead to brain cancer.
