Don't Let the Chillins Learn Words

First Beaver magazine, now The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. A school in California pulled the dictionary from its library shelves because it contains that dirty old phrase "oral sex" and other sexual words that grade school kids should definitely not be learning. So much for that study that just came out suggesting that kids be taught about sex starting at age 7. Go figure.

What's In a Name?

How would you like a subscription to Beaver magazine? Well, because of current Internet security settings, you can't have it. You see, the magazine, which has nothing to do with the beaver you're thinking of, had to change its name because when people searched for the magazine, they get a whole lotta un-related links. Plus, kids searching for the Canadian historical magazine in school can't find it because the word "beaver" is apparently blocked.
