A friend turned me on to this delicious invention. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Are people actually eating these? What a sad sad world we live in. If you are going to eat a cheeseburger, you might as well make it worth your while and eat a hot one.
I suppose in their [...]

jliddil had a great question this week that hasn’t made its way to our FAQ page yet.
He writes, “It seems that with a playlist of 100 songs or more don’t load completely in the mixer. As I scroll down the list if songs becomes blank and nothing is listed after a given artist.”

According to author Michael Pollan, what you’re eating might not be food at all, but an “edible food-like substance”. In his new book, In Defense of Food, Pollan contends that as a society, our study of food as the sum of its nutrients is way off.

It works by blocking the same brain receptors that THC stimulates, and the weight loss results were encouraging. At a 6mg dose, people [...]

Don’t tase me bro! (unless you are listening to Sabbath at the time in which case I fully understand)

There is a new taser hitting the market that doubles as an MP3 player and I can’t help but ask my self one question. Why? I suppose the line between personal protection and personal enjoyment is growing [...]

A quick personal story:
