I Dig a Pony: Toys R Us has released its “hot toy” list as retailers begin to place their bets on what will be the next Zhu Zhu Pets hamster for the holiday season. Expect to hear high-pitched whines for Squinkies, Sing-a-ma-jigs (shown) and Zoobles.
And that’s just the whining coming from distraught parents who find out the last Furreal Friends Butterscotch Pony was sold 5 minutes ago.
This is your Frankenfish on drugs: Local and federal law enforcement agencies will collect unused prescription medications Saturday to head off problems with prescription drug abuse. Because of water pollution concerns, people are asked to not flush old pills down the drain.
It’s bad enough that, as we reported yesterday, the FDA may OK genetically engineered salmon, but nobody wants to deal with a coho hopped up on Viagra.
That’s so ’90s: Marlo Thomas, who was TV’s “That Girl” in the 1960s, launched a website Wednesday intended for women over 35. Her partner in the venture is the venerable AOL.
Just remember that with AOL, you’ll need a 9600-baud modem and a suitable Telnet application that runs Windows 95.
