Which is what Sharkboy wants to be but can't. Robert Rodriguez, the film's writer, director, cinematographer, editor, composer and probably caterer, has made lots of good movies, from El Mariachi to Sin City, but they're all in 2-D. His stereoscopic films, Spy Kids 3-D and this one, are pretty lame. Sharkboy has an especially frantic, amateur atmosphere, with a mostly maladroit cast (George Lopez lends some charm to the four roles he plays). The script, based on a notion by Rodriguez's 7-year-old son, creates a universe whose physical laws and narrative rules...
...from his own garden, plus 100 lbs. of organic free-range beef, which anchors the basement freezer. He then "cooks ahead" on Sunday afternoons and has meals partly ready for those hectic weeknights when he comes home at 5:30, followed by his wife Ilena Silverman, a magazine editor, at 6. The kids--Anya, 7, Katya, 4, and Silas, 1--need to eat immediately, or meltdowns ensue...
John Brumbach, a part-time video editor and stay-at-home dad in Omaha, Neb., found himself going overboard soon after he took over the home kitchen for his family of five.

"I work with my kids to find out what their taste will tolerate," he says...

"Science is a disputatious business, and human evolution is notorious for being even more disputatious. historically, whenever anyone discovers a new hominid, a lot of people come along and say it's an ape or a diseased human." Gee, who says the critics haven't shaken his belief that a new species has been found, cites the example of another hotly debated discovery, that of Australopithecus africanus in 1924, the so-called "missing link...
Therein lies the rub. Larry Sanger, Wikipedia's former editor in chief (and now a lecturer at Ohio State) still loves the site but thinks his fellow professionals have a point. "The wide-open nature of the Internet encourages people to disregard the importance of expertise," he says. Sanger does not let his students use Wikipedia for their papers, partly because he knows they could confirm anything they like by adding it themselves...
