A User's Manual Does Exisit

I love owner's manuals. They are so chocked full of details and one can really learn how to use the product. As a programmer I cringe whenever I see someone misues my system or do something the long hard way (and then complain it should be easier, but they didn't read the manual...). Imagine my surprise when I ran across this sent or books on Amazon today:

"The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance" (Louis, M.D. Borgenicht, Joe Borgenicht)

Yes! It is a baby-care book written in the style of a technical user manual. One doesn't put diapers on the baby, one installs them. I think this would be a very amusing baby shower gift for geeky parents-to-be. To top it all off, there's also a matching spiral-bound maintenance log and a calendar.

I know what Andy and Brandy are getting on Sunday!!! (j/k)
