Unless they've changed them, I'd stay away from the Baby Einstein. There's been studies about delayed vocabulary and such because of them. I don't know the specifics but as with all these sorts of things I'd recommend at least looking into it and making up your own mind. Of course I regularly let my 3 year old watch Avatar these days so what do I know?
I'd heard the same thing about the "Baby Mozart" stuff.
I discovered accidentally that Josh digs Muppets already. I found a clip of those "Yip-Yip" aliens, and while I was watching, this delighted laughter and squealing started coming from behind and below my office chair. I had to play the clip over four times before he was satisfied to go do something else (it was the one where they investigate a radio). :)
Yep definitely. Caleb really enjoyed the muppets and probably still does though he doesn't ask for them anymore... our periodic YouTube time does include the new series of music videos that the muppets have been putting out. I have a picture of him at around age 1.5 where he is sick and comforting himself by watching the Alice Cooper episode from season 3. Actually, I have it in a post.
Munsters Remake

SpyOne here,
For about two years I have thought there was potential for a Munsters project, although I envisioned it as a movie like the others they have churned out (Beverly Hillbillies, for example). It started with the realization that Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves Raymond ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004951/ ) makes a pretty good modern-day Fred Gwynne - 6'8 1.2" tall, very deep voice, can probably do a goofy laugh if asked to.

Re: Brad Garrett. He actually does an impression of Herman Munster (played by Gwynn o'course) as he was a stand-up before "Raymond" and that was part of his act.
(Just putting this here in case anyone mistakes the Life/Universe/Everything Planet for the Earth-like planet that made news this week.)
That Earth-like planet you mentioned, GJ1214b at 42 light-years away--that's an article from December of last year. The Earth-like "Goldilocks" planet that made the science news a couple days ago is Gliese 581g, at only twenty light-years away!
Heh. I read the comments about the Iranian boats...and am just shaking my head. While everyone is laughing about how lousy a single one is against anything modern, they're overlooking at these things are insanely cheap to make, and from the video it takes a fairly tiny amount of space to manufacture/assemble them...which means they could potentially make a *lot* of them, in places scattered all over the country. Now imagine these things being deployed in swarms, with a mentality behind them akin to some of the WW2 Japanese tactics...
If they fare poorly against, say, a destroyer, the logical conclusion is that they're not intended for use against destroyers. They seem to be the waterborne equivalent of an armed jeep; I'd expect them to be used similarly.
