MSN      We were pleased to be listed as a source in the A.J. Jacobs "Dangerous Knowledge: How To Humiliate Your Offspring" article hosted on the MSN.com site. The tongue-in-cheek advice was given in good humor and included the following amusing excerpt:

TIC-TAC-TOE: Tell your kid that you are going first. Put your X in one of the four corners. If you don't win from here, you have a lower IQ than Nicole Richie's chihuahua. If somehow the little bastard wangles the first move, do as follows: If he Xs a corner or an edge, then O the center. If he Xs the center, O a corner. - A.J. Jacobs, MSN.com
