Child's Play 2007 Gets Underway
It is well worth mentioning that a post by Tycho over on the Penny Arcade site signals the kickoff for Child's Play 2007. This year they have over 30 hospitals spread across five countries, and (as always) every little bit helps. From Mr. Brahe's post: "At the last Child's Play dinner, a man whose son was currently staying at Seattle Children's Hospital - he'd left him temporarily, to attend - literally could not produce the words to thank me. The depth of his appreciation bordered on anguish. I hardly knew how to respond, other than attribute those comforts to their true authors. The opportunity to be excellent has arisen again. Just as in years past, visit the site proper, choose your favorite hospital, and select your toy. We promise to let you know how incredible you are at regular intervals."
I was just browsing the list of hospitals that you are able to donate to and found that there is a hospital in Toronto called "Hospital for Sick Children." Now call me pedantic if you must but wouldn't the fact that a child is in a Hospital indicate that chances were that the kid was indeed sick? Isn't it just a little redundant to say the Hospital is for Sick Kids?
Also this is a terribly unimaginative name! Who was the guy who though that up?
