For those of you living in the UK, have you noticed your baby acting strangely?  An informal study may reveal the reason... here’s MSNBC.

“An informal study found 9 in 10 baby changing tables in public rest rooms tested positive for trace amounts of cocaine.”

Well, that’ll get junior up and moving around. The study was done by journalists from Real Radio in Britain for a series on cocaine. They tested 100 tables in stores, churches, even police stations, and found 92 of them had traces of the drug. But the informal nature of the study has some, like the anchors on Fox News’ Red Eye, crying foul.

“Is a baby changing station a good place to get high?

>> I don’t believe this at all.

>> And if the coke is there, it must be from the “researchers.” Are we sure it is not just baby powder and they are crappy researchers?

>> Whoa, whoa, whoa. Those are baby tables?"

The news has plenty of bloggers cautioning parents to wipe down the table before the next diaper swap, but a mom blogger for the Houston Chronicle has a word of advice for the would-be users...

“Attention cocaine users of the world: Parents everywhere would like you to know that changing tables are generally covered in baby poop, and we’d appreciate it if you’d think of that the next time you’re looking for a place to snort a line.”

But the Telegraph isn’t taking things so lightly. The paper closed it’s article on the finding with some sobering statistics.


“Last month the UK was named the cocaine capital of Europe.
It is the second year running that Britons have taken more than neighbouring countries, with 4.8 per cent estimated to have used it over the last year.”
