...These new stores-within-a-store aren't a total snore for the toddler set. "R" Markets will also sell decidedly nonessential, kid-friendly products like Pez dispensers, gumball machines and a host of other candy brands that will keep dentists employed for a millennium.

If my son looks at my penis and the biggest difference he notices is foreskin, I have far more serious problems. Plus, if I wanted my son to look like me, I wouldn't have worked so hard to marry someone better-looking than...
...Google profile lets you set up a personalized page on which you can include links to your blog, Twitter feed or company website, plus share online photos and link to your other profiles on sites such as Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn. There's room for a brief bio, along with a place to list your current interests, places you've lived and schools you've attended. There's also a space that asks you to list your "superpower," proof that the engineers at Google have a sense of humor. Or think they...
