Bluetooth Pregnancy Test at CES (Why Do We Need This?)
Elle.com reports on a new Bluetooth pregnancy test from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). My question: why do we need this?

For the record, you have to pee on a stick, but this fancy new stick connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth.
But also! You can watch soothing videos while you wait three minutes for the results. From Elle.com:
The company released its Pregnancy PRO Digital Pregnancy Test at the Consumer Electronics Show this week. The sticks, which look just like your typical pregnancy tests, sync with a smartphone app via Bluetooth. You then urinate on the stick, as you normally would, and the app notifies you once it detects a sample. Then, a countdown clock shows three minutes until the result is ready. While you await the anxiety-ridden three minutes, you can click on “Calm Me,” “Educate Me,” or “Entertain Me” to either learn about fertility or just watch puppy videos to ease your nerves.
Oy vey. Maybe it won’t catch on.

Pregnancy sounds awesome if for no other reason than to sneak up on unsuspecting gents in a bar & grinding on them "Surprise! Full of baby!"
— Brooklyn Decker (@BrooklynDecker) July 2, 2014
Note: As far as we know she was just making a joke, not an announcement. Just so we’re clear.
Also, for what it’s worth, Ms. Decker’s tweets are often amusing, and she seems like a nice person. For example, here’s an article about her involvement with the 2014 Special Olympics.

Why Are People So Afraid Of Childbirth?
A recent viral video reminded me of something that I’ve been saying for awhile now: what is it about birth that freaks people out so much?
Welcome to the world, kid
I must be missing something. What’s the big deal? It’s just a baby. Sure, they look kinda slimy and blue when they first come out. But that stuff washes off. (I’m actually very glad that I was told about the blue part. Otherwise I might have thought that my wife had cheated on me with E.T.) Read more »

To me, the more striking thing is how flexible the simulator’s legs are. Impressive.
