Toddlers and Tiaras Star Eden Wood

Eden Wood is a beauty queen whose face, clothing, hair and accessories are all done on a regular basis for one purpose: winning. She is a beauty pageant queen who was featured on TLC's Toddlers & Tiaras and now she is making her own music video -- all at the tender age of five.

The song, called Cutie Patootie is the same one she performed on CBS's The Talk, includes lines like: "shakin' my booty" (done with a little rump shake) and talks about money, looks and affection, things a 5-year-old probably should not be thinking about, let alone singing about on national television.



It is easy to pick on child beauty pageants and doing so is like shooting fish in a barrel. Yes, it is gross that this little girl is made up and singing about grown-up things, but I am more curious about what she will be like when she is older.

Munchkin Cats

The Munchkin is a cat breed created by a naturally occurring genetic mutation that results in cats with abnormally short legs. However, the shortness of their legs does not seem to interfere with their running and leaping abilities.

The gene responsible has been compared to the one that give Welsh Corgis, Basset Hounds and Dachshunds their short stature; however, Munchkins do not suffer from the many spinal problems that are typically associated with those canine breeds as cats' spines are physically different from dogs'. The spine of a Munchkin cat is usually indistinguishable from that of other cats.

Water Towers Transformed into Houses

One thing all old water towers have in common is that once their original purpose ceases to be important, they quickly turn into eyesores. Yet, on the other hand, their historic and cultural significance prevents them from being torn down. A dilemma? Not for creative architects, city planners and communities considering an altogether new purpose, as these seven examples show.
