Three Weeks Old and Potty Trained
Friday, October 14th, 2005Diaper-Free Baby: here’s some FAQ if you’re interested in potty training your newborn. *ahem* I’m dubious, at best. The cost of a mistake by a newborn is very much not pretty.

Permanent Scholarship
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005Woman Has URL Tattooed to Forehead for $10,000: she did this to get money to send her son to private school. I’m sure that this particular action will have zero effects on her son’s life or perspective. Nope, none at all.
Big Girl

Our Daughter, Little Nike
Thursday, February 10th, 2005Australian Pair eBay Rights to Daughter: so for five years, her kid could be named “Goldenpalace.com”. Then what? Does the kid get a new name and identity? Do people have no shame any more?
Oh My!
