(Part 3) Top products from r/WTF

I did.

I mean that, quite literally. I "named the parts" (meaning external genitalia, using correct terminology) when they were toddlers. Then both my kids got a thorough series of lessons around kindergarten/grade one that covered the finer details of human anatomy. From top of head down to their toes and not skipping any of the bits in between. They loved the digestive system!

We also covered how babies are made, and what happens at puberty, in those same first lessons. My daughter (then five) was fascinated by menstruation, which was a bit awkward when she'd occasionally decide to start a conversation about it in public places, like on the city bus.

A lot of other stuff (boys and girls, men and women, sexual assault, gay rights, issues of consent and legal age, etc...) worked its way in over the years, just in general conversation. We never missed an opportunity for discussion, and the evening news was always a great conversation starter.

It also helped that our church has a very thorough sex ed program, though my daughter walked in there already knowing more than was on the curriculum. My son spent more time with his fingers in his ears going, "La, la, la, I can't heeear you!" than his sister did, so I think the church program was more educational for him.

These are the books we (and our church) used:

My teens know this stuff, inside out and backwards. I made darn sure they did, because I didn't when I was their age and it landed me in some hot water.

And it seems to have worked! My 17yo daughter's applying to university to start training be a midwife next year. She already knows more than most adults know about sexual health. And my son's managed to stay out of trouble. I have every confidence he'll, at an absolute minimum, always use a condom. :)

There are some great books available that make talking to kids about sex and reproduction really easy.

It's Not The Stork! and It's So Amazing! offer some great discussion of the biology of everything and leave plenty of room for you to insert your own morality! There's never a good reason to leave kids in the dark about biology and sexuality. I've been reading these books to my son since he was about 3 years old. They're cute, accurate, accessible, and worthwhile.

Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond

This book gives good insight to why certain societies developed at different rates. The short answer is geography - this is the most basic necessity for humans to move from hunter gatherers to more developed societies is the presence of very specific, interdependent circumstances based on geography.

If you like those books, also try [Guns, Germs, and Steel](http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393061310/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229375628&sr=8-1 "basically a short history of humanity") by Jared Diamond.

I searched some of the text and found it. It's "Emergency!: True Stories from the Nation's ERs" by Mark Brown. It's here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Emergency-True-Stories-Nations-ERs/dp/0312962657

Looks similar to pills that you give to dogs so their urine doesn't kill the grass. Like this-- http://www.amazon.com/Nutri-Vet-Green-Chewable-Tablets-Liver-Flavored/dp/B0002PBZY8

I believe it's in the full anthology. He said in the sidebar that he pulled some from the website to make the book more special, and this one probably came out after the other book was published.

Also the people who viewed this item also viewed a vibrator with a suction cup end, and a vibrating wand fleshlight holder. Nice.

They actually make devices for this. I used to work with persons with disabilities and they make these plastic thingies (technical term) that hold the paper. I imagine someone like this might use a similar tool.

Example.

This is what it looks like since 2010:

Well, we got the diamond half down.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing this one on the website back in the day. I suspect some of them may have disappeared from the archive as a result of him publishing a book.

Jared Diamond wrote a book on this topic: Guns Germs and Steel

He argues that culture and civilization is determined by geography, not genetics.

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch this, read this, and buy this to help forget about that.

This is the one my eight-year-old and I borrowed from the library (following many years of asking questions and getting age-appropriate factual answers). Nothing wrong with having all the facts.

An excellent book which discusses this is the classic Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. The author talks about several examples of how huge groups of people witnessing a crime have failed to help or call the police. The conclusion wasn't that the human race is evil; rather, as Prodigal_Daughter points out, nobody feels that it is their place to help (or everyone assumes that somebody else has already helped). Interesting topic.

That said, I'm not sure how much this principal applies to this story.

The book, if you want to buy it.

Now, I'm not saying that it's fair to review a book based on one page. No, I'm not saying that at all...

You're not wrong. A good book to read:

Keyring version

This reminds me of trying to write stories in elementary school. I had a deep fascinating with the horror genre after reading Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark as well as getting to the Goosebumps series. I decided that's where my focus was going to be and thus my first attempts at writing consisted of stories like "Rollercoaster of Doom" and "Balloon of Death" (mind you, I was in fourth or fifth grade...and in the latter story it was a hot air balloon).

Unfortunately my teacher decided this fascinating with the morbid was a problem and ratted me out to my parents who treated it like some sort of a problem. I knew the difference between fantasy and reality but I loved watching Are You Afraid of the Dark and wanted to cultivate my ability to tell a terrifying tale. They didn't see it that way and with the aid of my teacher insisted I write on happier subjects.

I think I could have been the next Stephen King. That rollercoaster of doom was a fucking monster, I tell ya.

It's pretty cheap too

It's the more polite version of this, and this comes in convenient 4 packs if you have an extra wide ass hole

From the book "Why Paint Cats".

I own it. The book is an amazing treasure trove of WTF an ludicrous art theory.

I gotta say it. WTF. If you read the comments for this book on Amazon, 2 of the 9 comments are actually about the book. The rest? Assessments of the seller. AMAZON.

Fucking ebay.

That's what some of these look like. Any chance she's feeding him over-the-counter anti-spotting stuff? They are relatively harmless, but I'd still be livid.

Yet women have no problem with it.

Is it me, or is THIS book cover slightly sinister?

No, it is "Why Paint Cats." It is literally about painting cats. There is another book, "Why Cats Paint." It is about why cats will paint pictures and how they paint things upside-down. "Dancing With Cats" is by Burton Silver and Heather Busch, as are the other two books. I have read (more or less) all three books. The experience of reading them is rather surreal. Realizing that someone paid several thousand dollars to have Charlie Chaplin painted on their cat's ass, using the asshole as a bowtie, is also a bit surreal.
