Baby Review: How Cute is Your Baby?

As every new mother or father will tell you, their baby is always the prettiest or cutest one on the planet. 

BABY REVIEW begs to differ, by telling those same parents the truth about their offspring:  that all they are are “Fabulous Feces Factories” or some such.  

The cool thing about this site is that it does exactly the same thing as you might be thinking to yourself as you walk around the mall – if only there was an Ugly Baby Makeover Contest program on TV, where comedians go to the mall and award proud parents for having the ugliest baby there.

One Red Paperclip

Kyle MacDonald has a mission in life: all he wants is a house.

All he had to start with was ONE RED PAPERCLIP.

He’s working on the bartering system, trading item for item until he gets his house.

He traded the paperclip for a pen, and then he traded the pen for a drawer pull. The drawer pull got him a Coleman stove, which he traded for an electric generator. The generator was exchanged for a keg of beer and a Budweiser neon sign.

Time Scout

Just in time for back to school is a revolutionary new gadget that is sure to please moms and dads everywhere: THE TIME SCOUT.

If your kids (or husbands) are watching too much TV or playing their video games all night, why not turn those activities into a true reward? Plug the selected device into the Time Scout and give your children their own “charge card.” When the child swipes their card through the Time Scout reader, the TV or video game can now be used for a preset amount of time.

Now you can reward your children with an hour of television for a week, and they get to choose how and when they use it. They can use the time now, use it later, or even save all their earned time for a party at the end of the week because that’s what they earned. And when their time is up, it’s the Time Scout that turns into the bad cop, not you.

And yes, there is a parental bypass for those late-night games of Ratchet and Clank.

How to Verify an Internet Hoax

Ever wanted to pull off your own viral Internet hoax?

The Internet has made coming up with new and original ideas easy. Check out THE MUSEUM OF HOAXES for a list of stunts that have already been pulled off, and then think about putting your own unique spin on the event.

Still, trying to come up with a unique hoax idea or wacky news item that hasn’t been done before has been made more difficult by the proliferation of those forwarded emails that everyone must have received at some time or other. Just because your friend has sent you an email with a news item in it does not mean that the news item in question is true. As is often the case, the person forwarding the email may not have checked their facts before sending it. Remember – even though you were sent that forwarded email from a trusted friend or family member, they could have been duped somewhere along the way.  You should always check your sources as well.

The Top Five List: Daily Internet Humor

Have you ever seen something in the newspaper or heard something on the news that just didn’t seem right to you?  News reporters are supposed to check and double-check their facts before reporting things, right?

Just ask The New York Times and ABC News anchor Peter Jennings what happened to them in the winter of 1999, when they had a report on mistranslated Chinese movie titles.

Bachelor Party / Bachelorette Party Tips

BACHELOR PARTY TIPS is a site where the wedding party participants who decide to take charge of the pre-wedding bachelor or bachelorette party festivities can go to come up with some great ideas and planning tips that ensure the lucky bride or groom have a great time.

They have the traditional party pledge that all partygoers must sign and adhere to at all costs, drinking games, party points (those with the most points at the end of the night wins, obviously), a list of 32 “Dudes Rules”, tips on stripper etiquette, and to-do lists for the bride or groom-to-be.

On those to-do lists?  For bachelorettes, it includes:

  • Do a shot
  • Take off your bra while in the bar
  • Dance with two guys at once
  • Collect a man’s underwear (extra points for holes or skid marks)

For bachelors, their list includes:

  • Get a girl to kiss you
  • Get a girl to spank you
  • Ask at least 5 women if they are your fiance
  • Have a beer chugging race with the rest of the bachelor party

The site implies that bachelorette parties are a bit more crazed than are bachelor parties.  Take a look at the suggestions they’ve posted for the “Bachelorette I Never” drinking game.  Remember, in this game the object is to never have done these things, because you must take a drink if you have. Which basically means that at least one person in the group has done this stuff.  Lucky groom, we hope.

  • Went skinny-dipping
  • Stuffed my bra.
  • Had a one night stand.
  • Wore a skirt without underwear.
  • Had sex in a car.
  • Have been tied up.
  • Had sex outside.
  • Threw up in public.
  • Woke up with a man who I didn’t know.
  • Kissed another woman.
  • Kissed two different guys in one night.
  • Sunbathed Nude.

I’ll bet you could combine the “I Never” list with the “Bachelorette To-Do” list and have a really interesting story to tell at the divorce proceedings.
