This is not really related to gender prediction but I just wanted to get it out there. If you live in California, on November 4th you will, hopefully, go and cast the vote on 11 propositions and for the president. Vote “No” on proposition 8. This proposition contains a constitutional amendment that will redefine a marriage as the union between man and woman. Ask yourself, what is wrong if two dudes or ladies want to get married and enjoy all the “perks” that come with it? And don’t believe those commercials about kids learning about marriage. Nobody teaches kids about marriage in schools. Think back when you were a kid, did you learn about marriage from school or from your parents? I bet your parents taught you.

Anyways, enjoy exersicing your constitutional rights and Vote!

This post is not really about gender prediction, but something I have read recently.

According to a study published in Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, having fan on during sleep reduces risk of SIDS by 72 percent. That is a LARGE precentage. They interviewed parents whose babies died of SIDS and parents whose babies did not die, and determined that, among other factors such as sleeping position, surface, pacifier use, the fan use plays a large role in preventing SIDS.

The scientists explain that high concentration of carbon dioxide (the gas humans exhale) accumulates in bedding and other materials, can contribute to SIDS. Babies’ immature lungs cannot deal with high amounts of the gas. Fans improve air circulation and prevent accumulation of carbon dioxide.

Interesting stuff. Read more here
