Christmas Wish List

Before you go any farther, please note: I do not actually want you to get me any of these things. Well, except for the last one.

1. This would make some things easier... people ask a question, and I can just point to the shirt. (I by no means support all the shirts on this site, but here's where you can find it.)
2. People are horrified by potential outcomes in genetic engineering. I think the photoshop variety is equally disturbing. So please, no more pictures where animal faces are morphed with human faces.

3. Tofurkey (a tofu turkey, Tofurky is a brand name). I am also hoping to get the name changed to Turkfu... that just sounds much more exciting.
4. The following book for educational reading.5. The Jesus Christ Talking Action Figure. The makers of this action figure say "With up to 4 minutes of audio (28 different phrases), this figure will entertain, as well as educate, by immortalizing those who have led global impact in all areas of human endeavor." Man, what would we do without this doll - I mean action figure? I think they had some problems with the description... I'll copy it below - you'll see why I can't live without this doll (emphasis added):

• Talking Action Figure has a 4 min. audio chip allowing it to speak 25 different phrases in the First Ladies own Voice!
• Figures are limited in production and include an individually numbered certificate of authenticity
• Figures also include a biographical pamphlet that includes rare photos and a comprehensive timeline specific to each figure.
• Figures come dressed in period correct clothing that is period correct and been hand tailored to suit the figure

6. Create a state board certification for reporters and editors that requires rigorous testing over grammar, spelling and punctuation. All AP reporters must be certified in every state. In case previous blogs aren't enough to show my reasoning.... "A judge ordered testing Friday to determine whether three Duke lacrosse players fathered the child of a woman who accuses them of rape -- a prospect defense attorneys dismissed as an 'absolute impossibility.' " I think the defense might be on to something... I agree that is biologically an "absolute impossibility" for three men to father a child. (click here for entire AP article on CNN.com)
note from after original posting: I just checked the article again, and they have fixed the mistake! But I promise I copied and pasted it earlier today into the paragraph above. It now reads "... to determine whether any of three Duke lacrosse players..." -KP
