Swaddling is what NEW parents do to insure THEIR comfort.

There is NO real science that show any positive lasting benefit to the infant (in fact more studies are showing just the opposite - that swaddling does indeed screw up the infants mental well being).

If you think putting your kid in a straight jacket is "comforting" maybe you should give it a try for a few hours. Of course once you wear yourself out struggling, you'll sleep longer too.

//yes, I have two kids, never swaddled (after the first few days in the hospital), both have excellent mental heath and social skills.

Quick Sammy, call PETA.

Look on the bright side, the smarter critters (like Magpies and Squirrels) have learned that the death zone only extends about 400 yards in all directions around my pond, and after that, they're pretty safe (except when I walk the dogs out in the woods and take a pistol or a shotgun just to keep them on their toes...)

Unfortunately (for the chattering bastards - aka squirrels) it does nothing to protect them from my 223 rounds.

Some clever ideas, too bad so many of them were done by WalMart quality ink slingers.

Get a Synthesizer, it is after all the 21st century.

"Favorite Food = Olive Loaf" (Yuck!)

Except for topical applications (like silver nitrate solution for newborns eyes) or as a external disinfectant there is NO science that shows any benefit what so ever to taking colloidal silver (unless you like blue skin).

Like most supplements, except for the placebo effect, there's no real health benefit to the user.

Snake oil by any other name is still a big business rip off for all those too stupid to see thru it's quackery.

I don't get why orphans would want to find these people.

What part of bye bye - forever, don't they get?

Apparently they didn't have "hot" women in the late 60's, galactic or otherwise.

Um no, they didn't steal them, they pre-packaged them into a user-friendly format for easy consumption.

//hates flickr's lame interface.

What's sad is there are people dumb enough to spend $70 on that rubbish.

//don't really care about the fate of small fish.
//do care about sound quality.

@Pudifoot

Is that from OJ's book?

@Carbon Based:
Yup, you cracked the vast cipher of Web 2.0 - add a reflection (and maybe use tacky colors) and bingo, you've joined the Web 2.0 revolution. And of course if you can use crappy AJAX code anywhere in your site you get bonus points. Isn't progress wonderful!

Actually it was just a very long setup for the perfect alibi.
