The researchers from University Medical Center, Utrecht, The Netherlands studied almost 500 Dutch children who used dummies or pacifiers. The study spanning five years found that the pacifiers almost double the risk of recurrent ear infections in those who used it as compared to the non-users.

Vertical Wire reports that the "heated" match was played on authentic, 1960's-era equipment. After dispatching the mayor 2-nil, Baer gave the keynote address to open the conference, which was designed to promote the Netherlands as a European gaming hub. Among those presenting at NLGD are serious games guru Ben Sawyer and Spore design team member Chaim Gingold .

The match was played on a classic 1960's era machine, and saw the father of the gaming industry defeating the mayor 2-0. Clearly, even at 86 years young, Baer can sure swing a mean paddle. As one of Europe's largest gaming events, the NLGD Festival of Games offers a stage for people to gather and discuss the continent's growing presence in the world of gaming. Said Seth van der Meer, chairman of the NLGD, "The first day of the conference has set the tone for an exciting lineup over the next two days," which includes keynotes, more than 75 lectures, and even a career fair. However, we seriously doubt any will measure up to the awesomeness of Baer's old school Pong throw down.

But not MIT. (Link via Fark.)

We feel you. After all, it's one thing to quietly, nerdily be accepted into ten of the top colleges in the country and decide &#8212 la-la-la-la-la!— to settle on Harvard. But it's another thing entirely to totally brag about it to the Post . "Each time the fat [acceptance] envelope rolled in, I stared at it with an open mouth," said Lukasz, whose family emigrated from Poland five years ago. "I applied to all these great colleges thinking, 'Why not?' I took a shot in the dark, and apparently, I hit the jackpot." Yeah, we're making the double-dong gesture at our desks right now, too. Look at that smug little grin. Emigrated from Poland. Dorkistan is more like it. And who called in this story to the Post ? The guidance counselor ? Anyway. We know it's hard, Class of '08, but here's the thing we're going to ask you: No matter how much you resent Lukasz Zbylut right now, no matter how gross and nerdy he seems — we urge you to resist making fun of him or alienating him in any way. Because after high school, all the hot popular guys are going to melt into fat, arrogant losers, and Lukasz? He's going to be awesome. In fact, girls, you might want to try to date him starting now. He has a decent bone structure, a fast metabolism, and he'll probably end up rich. So go on. Find out if he has a prom date. And best of luck in your adult lives.

It's bad, of course, that anyone turns to crime and acquires a felony record as his legacy, but as long as their stories are feloniously funny, we'll keep reporting them. Utrecht, Netherlands: A 21-year-old Dutch man and two compatriots were running down a street with their pants pulled down in the back "for a joke." At some point during the run, the 21-year-old "pushed his behind against the window of a restaurant" that broke and resulted in "deep wounds to his derriere." The three were detained but released when the cafe owner decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window. Just one more reason why mooning is not a good thing... Detroit, Michigan: An 8-foot statue of Jesus was stolen from the cross at the Church of the Messiah on Detroit's east side. The statue is made of a strong plaster, but with its weather-beaten greenish hue, the thieves may have mistaken it for copper that they could sell for quick cash. The church's aluminum gutters had been stolen in the recent past as well. The statue was later found abandoned in an alley, in good shape except for a missing hand. The church will have the statue and cross repaired and will host a "resurrection celebration" when it is put back in place. They also plan to post a sign next to it: "Jesus is not copper. Do not take him off the cross." Fredericksburg, Virginia: A 21-year-old man began an unprovoked verbal attack on another man and his girlfriend at a gas station, eventually picking up a rock and throwing it at the man, who was struck in the neck. When the victim ran toward the assailant, the big bully took a fish out of his car and threw it in the victim's face. He also allegedly pulled down his pants and threw a beer bottle at the man's car before making his getaway. I'm not sure what the flashing was all about. Is assault and battery that exciting? The excited thug was later arrested based on surveillance video shot inside the gas station's convenience store. He was charged with malicious wounding, indecent exposure, and destruction of property. This is practically criminal, and not one bit funny: The price of gas in many areas has now reached $4.00+ per gallon for self-serve regular. No wonder all the motorcycle classes in town now have long waiting lists. Bicycle sales are way up, too. The past few days have been ungodly hot. Yesterday, I went outside several times to refill the bird baths because the birds were so reveling in the cool water. They were so cute wading and playing and splashing each other. The squirrels seemed to appreciate a nice cool drink, too. Every time I stepped out the door, all I could think was NBA -- no breathable air. It was, in a word, like a blast furnace out there. Today is no better -- 97 or so degrees. I am now so ashamed of all those winter days when I complained about being cold. Are you ready for some blasfomys ?
