US Soldiers In Iraq Get Wicked Paintball Guns – FN303
First off, where can I get one of these bad boys? Looks like our tax dollars are now buying beefed-up paintball guns for our soldiers in Iraq. The new gun, known as the FN303 or Individual Serviceman Non-Lethal System (ISNLS), shoots a 6.5 gram shell containing a mixture of paint and bismuth (a brittle metal […]
Gas Sippers – Fuel Economy Comparison, Prius v Jetta v Focus v Smart
Edmunds, “where smart car buyers start” compared “three cars from their long-term fleet known for squeezing extra miles out of every gallon of gas: the 2008 Smart Fortwo, 2008 Ford Focus SES coupe, a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, and a 2008 Toyota Prius.” If you are serious about saving gas this is a great video […]
Bike While Drinking Beer = PedalPub
What can be more exciting than biking with your friends?! How about biking with your friends while drinking beer? The two obviously go together in the Netherlands.

People Are Wrong… Just Wrong…
If you really want to torture your pet further than you already do, you could get a wig for your cat or dog. But don’t… it is just wrong… soooo wrong. “And since dogs can’t talk, I’ll translate what they think of the idea. “&*^% you. Seriously, I’d rather be raped by the cat.” More […]

Dual Exhaust Flame Thrower Kit
In the old’n days you would just route a couple spark plugs back to your exhaust pipe, and because the car ran so rich (sloppy) it would ignite the unspent fuel, and shoot flames. Oh wait… that is exactly what this kit is doing. Folks, I would normally reward such slick marketing… but not when […]
Anti Monkey Butt Powder?
Is there really a market for this? I like to think that general good hygiene (aka shower and soap) negates the need for butt powder. But (no pun intended), I was on a 5 day hike with some college buddies, and the guy directly in front of me could have used about 5 bottles of […]
The World’s Smoothest 100 Proof, 100 Percent Agave Super Premium Tequila?
1800 Select Silver Tequila is being touted as the world’s smoothest (100 proof Agave). A tough claim to make, or substantiate for that matter.

Caffeinated Potato Chips, Um No Thanks
I, unlike my co-workers (you know who you are), do not need to visit Starbucks to function in the morning…. thank goodness as I have enough vices to deal with. But for those of you who love your caffeine happiness but just can’t be bothered with another caffeinated drink, how about some lemon flavored potato […]
