Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Rediculous presentsMy borther-in-law and his girlfriedn announced on Sunday that they are getting their 2-year-old an iPad for Christmas. It's "educational", evidently.
What outlandish presents have you bought, been bought or heard of someone being bought?

A dictionary, with the word 'ridiculous' bookmarked.(

I hate Apple with a vengeance.But seeing as devices like the iPad are being used in more and more situations, and there are plenty of learning games for children on them I'd say it could be educational. I know my girlfriend's niece uses her mom's iPad to play educational games which seem every bit as educational as the books she also has. She can be taught to read using it, it saves on mess for finger painting and teaches her hand-eye coordination -- whilst I hate the touch interface myself, it seems to be good at getting her to place her fingers more accurately and learn subtlety of movement.
