Similarly, remember that TV advert awhile back that showed a woman who hit a car in front of her? She came out and said "your child is OK" (looking at the child in the back seat) but the driver was pregnant and her child inside her was not OK as it seemed the steering wheel impacted the uterus. For me, this was a powerful reminder to drive safely. |

It takes having kids myself to realise if I did that to someone else then I could never live with myself. BTW..... the Russian never got his points adjusted. |

| 264952 | 2004-08-24 11:40:00 | Those stickers or labels with "Baby on board" are so old now the baby will be just about a teen. Ever looked inside a car sporting the label. Haven't actually seen a baby in the car for some time. Certainly not in a car restraint. | Elephant (599) | ||
| 264953 | 2004-08-24 12:07:00 | Maybe they are very erratic drivers and expect loud horn blasts from irate drivers. With a bumper sticker, irate drivers might desist in case it wakes the baby. :D :D |

Re the 20km walking event it suprises me how they get away with calling it walking . Per Google, walking is defined as a progression of steps where one foot must always be in contact with the ground . At times, especially near the end when they were nearing the stadium, it looked as if they were totally airborne . I taped it, and found it hard to check, but in slow motion and when the sun cast a shadow in certain positions, it clearly showed that there was a distinct clear gap between their feet and their shadow . The first, second and third place-getters were definitely airborne quite often . :( At the last Opympics, it was laughable, the first and second placed were about 15cm above the ground a lot of the time as they neared the stadium . :D Maybe there is an invention waiting . Sensors in each shoe that emit a warning if each detects an air gap at the same time . I'm not putting them down, it is just that they are not racing according to the rules and it is unfair on those who do it properly . :| |
