Here is Carl Sagan’s recipe for Apple Pie. Learn it, then call the guys running the Large Hadron Collider and make an order.
Man’s best friend becomes even more useful
If beer opening cuff links aren’t your thing how about getting a dog collar with a built in bottle opener… dog not included.
How to market a college
When you’re choosing an educational facility to further your career it’s not a question of how good the teaching is, how it might equip you for your future, but how good their stop motion viral ads are…
Ninja restaurant only gets good reviews
I’d go to a restaurant called Ninja. If I could find it. If you don’t like the food – they chop you in half*.
“The ninja is mysterious,” said Ou Chia-wei, owner of the restaurant simply named Ninja, explaining why he chose that theme for the Japanese-style restaurant. “On that premise, we can do magic tricks and light up the food.”
Waitresses working the barely lit dining room floor burn specialty menus, which vanish without a trace of ash, and send flames snaking across tables as customers watch.
A moat and screen of cascading water just past the front entrance make customers wait a few minutes until the drawbridge goes up, leading to a dark stairwell toward the dining hall.”
*not really.
Doh, a deer, a streetview deer
Ahh Google. If jumping the shark is the way TV shows die then the search monopoly will be hoping “hitting the deer” isn’t how internet companies die – especially when they’ve documented it for posterity’s sake…
Preparing your zombie apocalypse kit
When I was living in North Queensland people used to madly rush to the shops whenever there was a cyclone warning. This caused untold stress on cashiers and often meant rudimentary items were suddenly highly prized – bringing the laws of supply and demand into play and causing price hikes on staple items. So when it comes to getting ready for the no doubt imminent zombie apocalypse it pays to be prepared. Here’s a handy list of items you should put together and keep somewhere safe – and accessible – you don’t want this in the garden shed when there are zombies banging on your door.

Cordless Electric ChainsawWell you might not NEED a chainsaw to survive a zombie attack, but you will if you plan to have any fun! We suggest a cordless electric chain saw since you’re going to have to minimize on weight and extra objects like gasoline and maximize on mobility. The Black & Decker CCS818 18-Volt Cordless Electric Chain Saw will cut through up to 10 or 15 zombies on a single charge! At only 6.2 lbs, you can hang on to it and only use it when things get really hairy. $110 |

ATAC Storm BootsWell protected feet will help you run farther; making a decent pair of combat boots your best friend in a zombie survival situation. And we couldn’t think of a better paid than the ATAC Storm boots since they are not only waterproof but blood borne pathogen resistant—they were practically designed with a zombie attack in mind! $130 |

Life Gear Survival Backpack (Bug Out Bag)The Life Gear Survival Backpack offers 3 days of supplies, which we imagine is plenty of time either since the rescue helicopter will arrive before then or everyone will be eaten alive by zombies. The backpack includes a first aid kit, drinking system food and water storage, a respirator mask in case the infection is airborne and other items. To save space, we think you can toss the hygiene kit since no one will notice what you smell like amidst all the rotting flesh. |

How to make a really awesome moving cake
The gun turret of this tank cake rotates. It’s pretty cool.
Ready, Aim, Phh-ire
If you live in the US one of the hardest things about being a quadriplegic is that you can no longer exercise your right to bear arms. Unless you arrange to go hunting with a mouth controlled shotgun.
For a quadriplegic, firing a shotgun requires help from a companion. In Mr Cap’s case, a friend sets up the contraption, safety on, on Mr Cap’s wheelchair and Mr Cap aims the shotgun by moving the toggle switch with his mouth. Once his partner releases the safety, Mr Cap fires by sipping on the breathing tube.
I don’t want to make light of Mr Cap’s situation – but how cool would it be to have a shotgun that you could control with your breathing.
Truly inspired
Here’s a joke I’m going to pull out next time a conversation about divine inspiration of Scripture comes up at college.
Google in 2 minutes
This is a great little video that plots the story of Google (until just prior to the launch of Wave) in two minutes. I think I saw it first at CafeDave – so he can have a link.
It’s the jeans Chuck Norris rejects that make Chuck Norris the best
I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this before – but I mentioned them to Amy last night because Tim lent me a really incredibly awesome looking Chuck Norris movie. Anyway. I give you. Chuck Norris Action Jeans.
Although perhaps you’d prefer something more purpose built when roundhouse kicking someone in the head.
