From the page: A physicist, engineer and a statistician are out hunting. Suddenly, a deer appears 50 yards away.

The physicist does some basic ballistic calculations, assuming a vacuum, lifts his rifle to a specific angle, and shoots. The bullet lands 5 yards short.

The engineer adds a fudge factor for air resistance, lifts his rifle slightly higher, and shoots. The bullet lands 5 yards long.

The statistician yells "We got him!"

Another result of the one child law.

Cute, except that most of them just look like cartoons still.

When they say "where your money goes" they don't mention the development of technologies for the purpose of diagnosing defects for the purpose of aborting "defective" babies.

Yeah, if you abort those who are not perfect, you'll decrease the number of birth defects... but destroying the "defective" doesn't cure anything, it merely hides the evidence.

Most of the edits aren't even corrections, but just changes for the sake of adding more red ink. I think they hoped we'd be too stupid to notice.

Let this serve as a reminder: you have no privacy on a roller coaster, even when it seems like nobody is watching!

Poor Snowball.

From the page: "Rule One:
You're never going to be the center of everyone's attention,"not for long at least. This means that children should not be the center of attention in their families. Parents should be the center of attention.
Rule Two:
Everyone must obey a higher authority. Therefore, parents should expect children to obey, not hope that they will obey.
Rule Three:
Everyone is expected to be a contributing member of society. Too many children constantly take from their families without ever giving back. Dr. Leman suggests parents ask themselves if their children are ever expected to perform routine chores around the home for which they are not paid. The only acceptable answer is yes.
Rule Four:
Everyone is responsible for his or her own behavior. A child who does something bad ought to feel bad about it. Too often parents feel bad when a child does something wrong. Why should a child accept responsibility for his own behavior if someone else does it for him?
Rule Five:
You can't always get what you want and what you do get, you get by working and waiting. Children should receive the things they need and a conservative amount of the things they want. More children need to hear the word 'No!'
Rule Six:
You experience happiness, which is the elixir of success, in direct proportion to how sensitive to and considerate you are of others. Self-centeredness and unhappiness go hand in hand."
