Are you a parent of a small child or toddler?
As quite a few of Web Watch’s parental friends have found out, you aren’t a parent until you experience your child pooping during bathtime.
It happens, they say. Perfectly normal.

Have you ever had the opportunity to interview a Muppet?
If you did, what would you ask?
Have you ever wondered how you are doing compared to others in your immediate circle?
Don’t pretend that conversation doesn’t happen between you and your significant other: “do you think they have more credit card debt than we do?” after leaving a dinner party. “How do you think they can afford all that and we can’t?”
Well, we can answer these types of questions now, at least in Australia, where one bank has decided to post a billion credit card transaction records online for you to compare and contrast your own habits against others.
Look, we get it.
The Internet is free, right? You have to pay to be online, but once you’re there – the millions of pages of information out there should be yours for the viewing, without being blocked by persistently annoying advertising invading your viewspace.
Web Watch is in a quandray over this – we’re supported by advertising on the site, so why would we want to share with you one simple, easy way to completely block all ads from ever appearing on your computer or WiFi-enabled devices ever again? If this idea takes off, we’ll have to switch to a subscription-based model – but we’d rather not go that route if we can help it.

How to convert pee to electricity
With natural disasters and other causes leading to disruptions of the nation’s power grid, more and more homeowners are looking at alternative ways to power their homes when the electricity goes out.
Some people that Web Watch knows have decided to install gas or diesel-powered generators at their homes, or otherwise have a large backup battery available to keep the lights and computer network going for more than a day or two. Web Watch does support having alternative backup power available in some circumstances, but does wonder whether rushing into such a purchase is a prudent choice, rather than making a calculated decision as to whether you NEED to have such emergency power available to your household or not.
Are you like most people?
You get out of bed, slip on your running outfit (with nighttime reflectors, of course), and head out for an early-morning 5 mile run to shake out the cobwebs before you head home to shower and get ready for work?
If so, then you’re doing it wrong.
Do you know the rules for Monopoly?
We’re talking the real-for-real rules, that nobody ever bothers to read. As Web Watch has mentioned before, the official Monopoly rules are designed to make a standard game of Monopoly be played in just an hour or two – no need to grind out the $1 from your friends over a weekend of slow playing.
Tisha UnArmed is a woman in her 20’s who was born without arms, and with one leg slightly shorter than her left.
And nothing has prevented her from doing anything that she sets her mind out to do (to the point where her Internet infamy led to an appearance on TV with Tosh!).
