When asked how God could have e-mailed Pfopen if he was, in fact, dead, Nietzsche responded, "We've probably regressed, science and secularization killed him, negate that, ergo we have resurrected him, what we need is more nihilism...
...noticed that as part of the recall, Infantino is offering to replace its recalled slings with a "Wrap & Tie" infant carrier that looks a lot like an ERGO minus the buckles. Consumers who are swearing off on-the-body baby carriers can opt for a 2-in-1 shopping cart/high chair cover or an ExerSaucer-esque activity gym.
