No, as you can see, the Hamster Shredder is a device that will benefit us both.
More
weirdness from the wires today. I suppose it was inevitable that it
comes to this, but you can now purchase a variety of energy snacks to
go with your energy drinks. Phoenix Fury potato chips are "laced with
taurine, caffeine and B-vitamins." I don't know that "laced" is the
word they're looking for there -- makes me think of certain controlled
substances I enjoyed in my youth. Then there are Sumseeds, similarly
"energized" sunflower seeds endorsed by no less a luminary than Hall of
Fame baseball player Tony Gwynn (unofficially, I would hazard to
guess.) Google around for a while, and you can find dozens of items in
this vein. In fact, you don't even have to involve the GI tract at all
-- consider the astonishingly crowded market for caffeinated soap.
Finally
today, we have an item concerning favorite pastime of mine -- the
deliberately ironic repurposing of materials to create utilitarian, yet
thought-provoking, objects. In this case, the Fully Loaded Chair. Made
from 400 or so 12-guage shotgun shells, the chair's brass tip seating
surface provides a massaging texture "much to the contrary of their
intended use." Indeed. Just don't sit down too fast.
