It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Quickies

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the or-maybe-thats-just-the-cataracts dept.

It's been a long time coming, so lets start off the quickies with some acts of senseless damage. Old Wolf sent us a link to a bunch of pictures of someone Defrosting a Freezer in the best way ever, and an anonymous reader sent in a site that shows what happens if you put a CD in Microwave. Don't use AOL CDs., send them to this lady who collects them (from gr8fulnded). On to the sex! An anonymous reader submitted a story about the Robot Pet Vibrator which is I guess AIBO gone wrong. elkm discovered Computerized Contraception. And with all this digital doin' it going on, its good know that MITs Erotic Computation Group is here to research it (thanks Chris Moon) The world is full of strangeness, but little of it is as scary as MissNachos's link to the Hello Kitty laptop, srini's link to the Single Pixel Webcam, and aneanti's link to a collection of the strangest canned foods you'll ever see. Finally, since it is the holidays, check out mrv's link to LED Christmas Lights which sure beats the hell out of finding the broken bulb.

  1. Canned food? PORK BRAINS! by stefanlasiewski · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How can you include an article on strange Canned food that doesn't include my all time favorite (I have a can sitting atop my monitor): PORK BRAINS in Milk Gravy.

    Yes, this little 5.5 oz can has a whopping 3500 calories, and over 1000% (Yes, one THOUSAND) of your RDA intake of cholesterol.

    The recipe on the back? Pork Brains and Scrambled Eggs. At least Eggs have alot of the 'good' cholesterol, otherwise you'd have a heart attack halfway through your second can! Yum!

  2. Yugoslav Microwave Radarjamming by xueexueg · · Score: 4, Insightful
    By far the most interesting thing on the microwave fun page is here

    It's about how the Yugoslav army used microwave ovens as decoys against NATO troops. Quote: "It was funny listening to NATO claiming to have destroyed some 20-30 MiG-29s when I knew that we have had only 16 of them at the beginning of their attacks."

  3. Re:Quotes from the LED Christmas lights page. by SamBeckett · · Score: 2, Insightful

    200,000 hours of Christmas lights... If you have them up and on for 30 days for eight hours a day (during the Christmas season)-- that's 833.33 Christmas's that these LEDs will last. Since no human being can live that long, 833.33 years, is, essentially, forever.
