A sort of related subject:
Remember a toy you would get in cereal boxes? It was really a racket ball cut in half. You would put it round end up on a flat surface, push down on the top to create a suction. It would eventually 'pop' and the thing jumped into the air.
A friend of mine was a lawyer for Quaker Oats. They stopped putting it into boxes because an 18 year old put it over his eye. No permanent damage, but my friend saw the pictures, he said it was like the kid got a hickey on his eye. Quaker was afraid if an 18 old was dumb enough to try it, image what would happen if a 5 year old with weaker eye sockets would try it.
If we keep protecting the dumb Darwin's theory wont work, and we'll end up with a world of morons.
