The products featured in yesterday's post reminded me of another invention that piqued my curiosity. I ran across it on ebay some months back, and a bit of web searching shows I'm not the only one who was impressed. But in case anyone missed it, here's a technological advance in protecting the offspring.
It's called a Snake Proof Baby Crib, was patented in 1914 and manufactured by the Caldwell Manufacturing Co. of Columbus, Ohio. Now, this raises a host of questions, most pressingly about just how bad the snakes-attacking-babies problem was in those years.
Maybe the patent has expired. It's gold, pure gold, Jerry!

Okay, I just read a report about an area in Iraq that is being completely overrun with snakes. The farmers are freaking. I think you could make a mint if you'd knock these things out and get them shipped fast! Better to stop the snakes over there before we have to fight them here. I'm just sayin'.
