Are Ten-Year-Olds Smarter Than You?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Kids, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Gossip, News, Ratings,
Leave it to FOX to ask the question no other network dares: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Most adults would say yes, of course. In a new big-budget game show (a deviation for FOX, a network that relies largely upon animated series, intense dramas, and reality TV) college grads will be pit against a class of five fifth graders in an effort to test their general knowledge smarts. There’s only one catch: all of the questions range from first to fifth grade class teachings. The show will run every night this week after FOX’s mega-hit American Idol, in an effort to boost up ratings for the fledging program. Cute little nine, ten, and eleven-year olds, a famous redneck for a host (Jeff Foxworthy), and plenty of money to throw around (the prize for answering only eleven questions? One million dollars) – FOX is banking on a hit. Think you’ve got what it takes to beat fifth graders at school trivia? Then you probably aren’t watching the show.

CES 2007 Video: Loc8tor Homing Device
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, CES, CES 2007, Features, Household, Videocasts, Wireless / WiFi,
We were able to check out the Loc8tor device at CES. This is a gadget that lets you home in on things (or people) that you have attached a small homing key to. The plus version even lets you know if a homing key moves out of your range, so you know if a kid is heading towards a street or if someone is trying to jack your gear.
MP3 Goes Down the Toilet
Posted by Monica Edwards Categories: Family, Humor, Personal, Tommy,
I love my son, he cracks me up at the most unexpected times and the other day he had Andru almost rolling on the floor laughing so hard at his 12 year-old antics. He received a new Sansa Mp3 player for Christmas from his father, it wasn't like the $10 Walkmans he was used to buying or receiving in the past, as he is getting older and becoming more responsible, his father spent a little more money on something a 12 year-old would appreciate. Tom took very good care of it, I have to give him credit, he put it away very nicely in the velvet sleeve it came in once he was through listening to it - so maybe it was worth the cost.
This is where the humor comes in, the other day, he comes upstairs, very upset, carrying his Mp3 in his hand and I ask what was so terribly wrong. He goes on to explain that he had his Mp3 in his sweatshirt pocket as he was going to the bathroom, and when he stood up to flush, it so gracefully plopped into the toilet, scaring him to death as he thought some wild animal had just jumped in. In Napoleon Dynamite fashion he utters loudly "Dang it!" as his very new Mp3 had fallen in a toilet full of poo. His words. I asked him what the heck was he doing with the Mp3 player in his pocket while sitting on the toilet, knowing that it was a recipe for disaster. He replies, " I wanted to listen to music while I pooed." OK I guess that was a logical answer...heck if everyone else reads while they poo, why not bop to some tunes? Before any more questions were asked I immediately said, "Get a plastic baggie, put it inside, and STOP HOLDING IT-- GROOOSS!"

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin Killed By Stingray
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Kids, Cable, Talent, News,
In what has turned out to be sad and shocking news, the man known as The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, was killed while filming an underwater documentary. While swimming in Batt Reef in north Queensland, Irwin was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest (although, one doctor thinks he may have suffered from a form of cardiac arrest, as this type of stingray injury is extremely rare.) Steve Irwin was 44, and is survived by his wife Terri, and children Bob and Bindi.
