I know the Baby Einstein DVDs state on the covers that they are for 1 year and up (Except one of the Baby Newton's, which is 9months+), but if that is the case, why does Harry stop everything to coo and gurgle, and kick and bounce when they are on? And then burst into tears when the DVD ends? It is possible that they have overstated the age criteria. More than likely, he is just absurdly advanced for his age.
Now, I have noticed that Harry has pointy ears. I am not a Trekkie by any means, but isn't that a Vulcan thing? Aren't they very brilliant minds? Or just logical folks?
Hmmm....Google shows me the following:
In the fictional Star Trek universe created by Gene Roddenberry, the Vulcan race originates on planet Vulcan which orbits either 40 Eridani or Epsilon Eridani (cites differ). The surface of Vulcan is much warmer of that of Earth as the planet is located around a red giant star. The planet's atmosphere is thinner than that of Earth's, as a result humans tend to tire out more quickly. The Vulcans are most noted for their attempt to live by reason and logic and to suppress all emotional influence by living lives of rigid emotional self-control through meditative techniques and training of mental discipline. The main external characteristics that distinguish Vulcans from humans are arched eyebrows and pointed ears, along with a slight greenish skin tint due to their copper-based blood.
Well, the pointy ear thing was right. And he does seem to be rather logical. Something about mental discipline...His skin is not green though. I am really not sure where I am going with this. Maybe too much of Jimmy Buffet talking about Cameron getting logical and being a Vulcan in disguise.
