Even some of the hottest toys this season have been around for decades - the most popular searches include "Barbie," "Lego" and my favorite childhood toy, "Hot Wheels." New-guard toys, like "Bratz," "American Girl" and "Transformers," round out the list. The biggest difference between modern toys and those of yore is perhaps the webification of the former. If the fine print on packages once read "batteries not included," get ready to see a new disclaimer on toys of the future: "social network included."

"The main rule of thumb in Pakistani politics is that everyone safeguards their own interest first. No one really cares about...
...surprised to hear the fearful moral depths to which I stooped to get that last passing grade in AP Environmental Science senior year of high school. Something you’ve always wanted to tell someone: “I fancy you.” Favorite childhood toy: LEGOs, Beast Wars Transformers, and throwing a baseball against the wall of the garage, because being an only child is awful. Sexiest physical trait: I have a very large head, which prevents me from wearing most hats. Favorite part about Harvard: Breakfast in a dining hall, breakfast anywhere. Describe yourself in three...
