The Baker’s Edge

My favorite part of the brownie is the edge or corner piece, so this should come in handy.

The Baker’s Edge is the first and only pan to give brownie edge lovers more of what they want – more edges!

Give your pet a heart attack

Just place the sofa guard on your couch or favourite armchair and switch on the device. As soon as your pet jumps onto the mat, which is fitted with sensors, an audible 105 decibel alarm will go off.

How many pounds of food will one person eat in a lifetime?

Found this question at Ask Yahoo!

A newsletter from the Wolfe Clinic sets a person’s total intake at 60,000 to 100,000 pounds. Another site gives the answer in terms of a math problem: “An elephant weighs about 10,000 pounds. In your lifetime, you will eat the equivalent weight of 6 elephants.”

I’m 31 years old, and I feel like I’m on my 5th elephant.

Survivor Cook Islands Talk

candicewoodcock.jpgThe current season of Survivor has been off the hook, but I especially loved tonight’s episode.  There was so much tension and garbage aired out it was almost uncomfortable to watch, and I loved every moment of it.  But I was especially happy to see Candice leave tonight, oh, and stay at Exile Island for a fourth night.

I never liked how she left that one tribe, but what really got on my nerves was her overly obsessive PDA relationship with Adam.

Stallone Born Again?

Rocky.jpegNo matter what, you can overcome your past,” he said. “With help, if you look to God, you can overcome your past and be reborn.”Hmm. That’s an interesting quote. You may be wondering who said it. Sounds like it would be from a prominent evangelical leader, or maybe someone with a powerful testimony, or perhaps a youth pastor hoping to break through to a crowded room of young people.

Or, would you believe, Rocky Balboa?

Or, to be more accurate, Sylvester Stallone, the actor who created and starred in the iconic series of films about the down-and-out boxer who became the heavyweight champion of the world — several times over several movies.

Stallone spoke of being reborn in a teleconference with pastors and religious leaders concerning the faith elements of the unlikely sixth movie that’s due out Dec. 22.

Hopefully it’s just not a ploy to try to sell movie tickets.

That will show him

kimshot.jpegU.S. Bans Sale of IPods to North Korea

The Bush administration wants North Korea’s attention, so like a scolding parent it’s trying to make it tougher for that country’s eccentric leader to buy iPods, plasma televisions and Segway electric scooters. The U.S. government’s first-ever effort to use trade sanctions to personally aggravate a foreign president expressly targets items believed to be favored by Kim Jong Il or presented by him as gifts to the roughly 600 loyalist families who run the communist government.

Kim, who engineered a secret nuclear weapons program, has other options for obtaining the high-end consumer electronics and other items he wants.

But the list of proposed luxury sanctions, obtained by The Associated Press, aims to make Kim’s swanky life harder: No more cognac, Rolex watches, cigarettes, artwork, expensive cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles or even personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis.

Win My Soul

This guy is selling his soul: 

Let me start by saying this is not a publicity stunt. This is a real contest. The winner of my soul will enter into a binding contract that offers them specific benefits of soul ownership.

  • A percentage of my taxable income for the rest of my life with a guaranteed minimum of $500.00 per year.
  • The right to choose the first name of all of my children. The name has to be gender specific and cannot contain profanity or derogatory words.
  • A percentage of profit ownership of any intellectual works that I create.
  • The option of planning my wedding, including selecting the date.

I’m sure this seems a bit strange, a person selling his soul like this. However, I can assure you that I am perfectly sane.

Every day people sell their souls for far less than what I am asking for through this website. But rather than sell my soul for a paycheck in corporate America, I am selling my soul to the community, and making a commitment to give back to the community.

Close-up pictures of animals in the womb

Using an array of technology, the images reveal what until now has been a secret – exactly how animals develop in the womb. They were created by the same team who in 2004 showed how human embryos “walk in the womb”.

What different parts of the world eats in one week.

Faith D’Aluisio and Peter Menzel have a newish book out which is just wonderful from a food perspective. Essentially, they’ve traveled the world to meet “average” families and report on their dietary habits. Apart from being thematically intriguing from a journalistic point of view, it’s also quite awesome from a visual perspective. Basically, Peter has taken photos of the families with their weekly food totals.

This one is a representative from the US, and here are some others (below the fold). A whole ton of other pictures can be found here.

Tooth Tunes

The brush, in development for two years, will come in 18 varieties, each with a different two-minute song clip — the amount of time dentists recommend for a good brushing — from a popular artist.

When the user pushes a button on the manual toothbrush, it “plays” a song. As the bristles are brushed across the teeth, they send sound waves through them so that the user hears the song in his or her head.

North Texas Weather

Yesterday it was muggy and about 77 degrees.

Today, the high is going to be 32 degrees.

And this weather change will cause all the local news stations to send reporters to grocery stores and next to the highways.  But since we dont’ have snow plows, this would never happen.
