You could take an eye out!


Some things should never go into production. This ring pistol would have to be one of them.

I am wondering what comments might have been included in the manual for this ring.

  • Do NOT shake hands while gun is loaded
  • Playing handball while wearing this ring may reduce competition
  • Ring not suitable for engagement purposes
  • Sneezing or coughing may cause death
  • Bullets sold separately
  • Not suitable for hunting
  • Please drink responsibly, i.e not while wearing this ring
  • Notice to Clowns: Please remove this ring before making balloon animals
  • Petting animals while wearing this ring may be misconstrued as "animal cruelty" and can lead to undo legal costs and trauma.
  • Please remove ring before using restroom facilities.

Eat Mars Candies and lose weight!

These are the stupid things you do when sitting in a hotel room trying to pass time. You read the back of the MnM packet and start blogging. Interestingly enough Mars claims the color distribution in my packet is

Brown: 16.6%
Yellow: 16.6%
Red: 16.6%
Blue: 16.6%
Green: 16.6%
Orange: 16.6%
Invisible: 0.4%

So let's see, if there are 250 calories in each serving and there is one serving in a packet then I actually save about 1 calorie due to invisible MnMs. I wonder where they buy the invisible color and how do they know they actually get in the packet? How does one do quality control on invisible items?

For example, how does Wonder Woman know if someone stole here invisible jet? Are her keys invisible too? That would be a bitch if she lost them. Makes a good case for a clapper unit. I can hear it now;

WW: "Honey, have you seen my keys for the jet?"
Husband: "Ah.....No?"

Another bold research statement.

Filed under "duh"...

The effects of mobile phone radiation on sleep were studied in Sweden in a laboratory experiment where subjects were exposed either to 884 MHz GSM radiation or placebo. The study finds that compared to placebo, in the radiation-exposed subjects there was a prolonged latency to reach the first cycle of deep sleep (stage 3).
culled from Slashdot

Did anyone tell the researchers to turn the f**$&% phone OFF? Then maybe the subjects could get some sleep!
