Not that the “geek” title is something that we all strive for but if it is a badge, it should be worn with honor. The folks at JustSayHi.Com have a number of playful quizzes to take - the Geek Quiz is one of them. As seen by the badge below, I am pretty geeky, please don’t tell my wife, I don’t want to burst her bubble.

This is probably the most harmless quiz in the batch.  Some of the others answer the question - The Booze Test, Name That Alcohol , How Many Germs Live On Your Keyboard?, and What Are Your Chances Of Surviving A Zombie Apocalypse?

“The bullet proof baby crib is the ultimate in home protection for your child. The crib employs Ballistic Absorption Barriers or BABS. These barriers will absorb ammunition from rifles, shrapnel and hand grenades. They also keep your baby comfy and warm because of their outstanding insulating properties. Numerous coatings can be applied to enhance the aesthetics and add UV protection.” ~ BulletProofBaby.Net

Designer Yves Béhar of San Francisco-based design and branding firm Fuseproject has created a boldly-colored water bottle that is also a children’s toy. Designed for beverage producer Y Water, the stackable (and somewhat phallic) bottle is an interlocking set of building blocks, once combined with Y Knot biodegradable rubber connectors.

The nine-ounce bottles can be arranged into animals, space stations, and superheroes, among other configurations. The sturdy shell, also used in the medical industry, is Eastman’s Eastar copolyester, a 100 percent recyclable material that does not leach chemicals and is certified safe for food use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USDA).

The flavored water, which contains only USDA-certified organic ingredients (organic water - what will they think of next), comes in four flavors: Muscle Water, Bone Water, Immune Water, and Brain Water. The initial product roll-out will only be available through Amazon and at Southern California Whole Foods Market locations.

   

In other news, the University of Sheffield for the Space to Care study aimed at improving hospital design for children and did an extensive poll of 250 children (ages 4-16) to discover once and for all, “do clowns make kids happy?” As reported by Nursing Standard magazine - found all of them disliked clowns as part of hospital decor, with even the oldest children finding them scary.

Decorating children’s wards of hospitals with images of clowns is likely to frighten rather than cheer young patients, research has found. And this came as a surprise to them? Thanks heavens Mr. Medical Researcher Man, I - as a concerned parent - say “Thank You” for putting forth the money and a dedicated effort to discover once and for all whether kids truly like clowns, now you can scratch that off your “To Do List” and move on with business (you know like - autism, cerebral palsy and such).
