Great Moments In Laziness
I’ve just discovered the greatest invention since the beer launching fridge. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the R/C Drinks Cooler! Specifically designed to expedite the delivery of cold lager to waiting mitts, this nifty battery-operated ice bucket is the ultimate in decadence for any self-respecting layabout. Simply fill it with ice, bung in the …

A New Level Of Lazy
Oh god. First we had the self-stirring mug. Now, for the even lazier, we have the self-rotating ice cream cup. Yup, put ice cream in the inside compartment, stick tongue out and press go. It spins by itself, so you don’t have to lick around. Oh boy. We’re all going to be fat slabs of …

Have you ever thought to yourself “gee, I’d love to dance a jig, but I have no music. If only I could dance and create my own music!” No? Didn’t think so. But somebody did, and is working on a pacer suit! Apparently, as you dance, it generates the music, which might only play in …

>I Don’t Know…Stuff!
>I’ve been meaning to write this thought pile down for a while, but for some reason, I just couldn’t get started. Even now, it isn’t flowing like it usually does. Oh well, hopefully it will pick up before it’s done. I can’t believe I’m halfway through that French class I joined. Things are going very …
Something Tells Me This Product Isn’t Going To Get Its Moment In The Sun
I think it’s great that Triumph International wants to make a solar bra. But I think they have two huge problems: 1. people don’t usually like to show part of their bra, which they’d need to do to give the solar panel the light it needs to create enough juice to power your cellphone, mp3-player, …
