Doting South Korean parents can preserve their child's umbilical cord in acrylic resin to make a personal seal or even have it gold plated.
In this Confucian society where family values are highly prized, suppliers also offer services for parents to have traditional Korean calligraphy brushes made from their child's hair.
Shim Jae-cheol of U&I Impression said the firm had gold-plated about 80 to 100 umbilical cords a month since starting business in August, with prices ranging from 80,000 won to 100,000 won ($76 to $96). It also offers mail order.
South Korean law allows parents to keep the umbilical cord of their children, although sales to a third party would be illegal.
uuuuummmmmmmmmm NO THANKS. I'll just keep their baby bracelet.

Grandma Indicted In Death Of Toddler Left In Burning Vehicle (WTF?)
Grandma Indicted In Death Of Toddler Left In Burning Vehicle
POSTED: 8:44 am EST December 1, 2004
UPDATED: 11:59 am EST December 1, 2004
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. -- A woman who left her 22-month-old grandson inside a burning vehicle after it ran off the road last year was indicted Tuesday on aggravated manslaughter and child endangerment charges.
Burlington County prosecutors said Pamela Dreadin, 43, of Mount Laurel was driving a Ford Bronco truck in a rural section of Eastampton Township shortly before 3 a.m. on Oct. 19, 2003, when the vehicle became stuck after she tried to make a turn. After Dreadin tried several times to free the vehicle, a fire started in the engine compartment.
Dreadin left the truck and went to a nearby house to call for help but did not mention that her grandson, Michael Malinowski Jr., was in the vehicle until 10 minutes later when a police officer arrived, authorities said.
By the time rescue crews arrived, flames had engulfed the vehicle, killing the child.
Dreadin, who initially was charged only with child endangerment, remains free on $5,000 bail. She could face up to 30 years in state prison if convicted on both charges.

Re: Cat awarded MBA degree
*raises hand*
That story is from Pennsylvania, my home state. The attorney general was trying to close down Trinity Southern University. Apparently, this university, a cell phone company, and the two people who ran the school were using inappropriately using Internet addresses of the state Senate and more than 60 Pennsylvania businesses to sell fake degrees and prescription drugs by spam e-mail.
Some of the victims included: the University of Pennsylvania and Penn State University. 
The attorney general bought the degree for $299, in the name of a deputy attorney general's cat.
I am glad that we are trying to get these people off the street.

Parents Go On Strike, Move Out To Protest Messy Kids
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My mother sent this to me. Knowing my mother the way I do, she would have put me out before she slept in a tent.
 But I don't blame her.

I hate that the law and a clinical psychologist got involved. I think they underestimate the need for the children to be praised by the parents. I think it will do them all some good.

The 17 y/o should know better. This is a prime example of what happens when you dont set boundaries for your kids. My child is 6 and she cleans her room at LEAST twice a week. Boo on the parents, I mean who is in charge here, them or the kids?

Though I don't agree with the PARENTS leaving, I see thier point. Kids should not be slobs. Then again, kids should not have the OPTION to be slobs. There is NO WAY that a child can refuse to wash dishes, clothes, vacuum, etc. I wish a kid would!!!

The law only says they have to get 3 hots and a cot...if they can't take of their priviliges I would take them away. But I wouldn't leave my house.
Can't help with your laundry or pick up after yourself...they would have 2 pairs of pants and 4 shirts each...everything else would be taken away and given to charity.
Can't help with the dishes...clean out the pantry and give em instant oatmeal & some vitamins for every meal.
Take away ALL of their extras (including the computer - they can TYPE their homework like I used to). The playstation, dvd's, allowance, access to cable, cell phone...all gone.
Them kids wouldn't be so disgusting if the parents didn't raise them that way. That 17 year old is about to go to college and become someones worst nightmare as a roommate!

I mean, who are the adults here? Shouldn't the Barnards put the kids out in the tent, rather than the other way around? Things that make you go hmm....
