The Toilet Monster: Not For Potty Training!

ParentDish has an entry in their "bad ideas" category for a horrible product called the Toilet Monster.

I stumbled across a toy/prank/bizarre idea and was struck by what a colossally bad idea it would be around little kids. Not only is the Toilet Monster a pointless germfest, it also has the power to unpotty train kids and make them terrified of all toilets, perhaps for the rest of their lives.

Have to agree emphatically with ParentDish that this Toilet Monster is just a terrible idea. Any child that you are training to have a positive potty experience would instead learn to fear the toilet. It's defintely more of a college prank type of things, which is probably what the awful thing is meant for. But really the world would be a much better place without the Toilet Monster.

Women's Pregnant Stance Comes From Evolution

Reuters is reporting that the leaning stance women make when they are pregnant is something that evolved in human beings. Without evolution women's vertebrae would be damaged in this position.

Pregnant pre-humans appeared to have stood the same way. And it may save women from even more back pain than they already have, the researchers report in this week's issue of the journal Nature.

The bodies of women do two things when they are pregnant -- they adjust their stance to move the center of gravity to accommodate the growing fetus, and the lower vertebrae have evolved a distinct shape to allow this shifting to take place without damaging the spine, Katherine Whitcome of Harvard University and colleagues found.

"It was one of these things like, 'Oh my god, no one's ever thought of this,' and it looks so obvious," Liza Shapiro of the University of Texas at Austin, who helped supervise the work, said in a telephone interview.

Whitcome and Shapiro followed 19 women through their pregnancy, using digital cameras and motional analysis equipment to map the changes in stance and movement as the months passed.

"What women do when their pregnancy reaches about half of the expected mass ... they shift backwards," Shapiro said.

Men do not have this capability and so they are less able to carry extra tummy weight such as a beer belly.

Nanny Cams Get Better and Stealthier

Nanny Cams Get Better and Stealthier
The interesting CBS video report below talks about the improvements that have been made in nanny cams. There are some very stealthy nanny cams available. Some can even be disquised as a book, clock, pencil sharpener or an iPod docking station. The sharpener and docking station are also functioning so if the babysitter or nanny came and sharpened a pencil they wouldn't know it was a camera. Some of the more expensive nanny cams let you see video over the Internet. The CBS report also mentions a website called HowsMyNanny.com where parents can purchase a purchase a license plate for their stroller.
