Another Use for the Wonder-Food, BACON
I’m glad I polished off my bacon sandwich before I read this. According to a study in Michigan, bacon is an effective way to treat nasal hemorrhaging. You don’t get the benefit of the marvelous taste and smell, but hey – you can’t have everything. A new medical study recommends a method called “nasal packing [...]

Petulant Boy-King’s Chrysler 300C Fails to Sell for $1,000,000 on eBay
Gee, I wonder why? A quick look at KBB.com tells me that this car is worth about $17,598 in excellent condition (and most used cars aren’t). If anything, it’s worth less than that, because he probably smoked in it. President Obama’s former Chrysler 300C failed to sell for $1 million in an eBay auction. The [...]
Creepy or Cool? Nano-Quadrotors can Fly in Formation Aware of Other Members’ Locations

Blake Griffin Monster Dunk over Kendrick Perkins
I don’t care that much for NBA basketball, because it’s only about the money anymore. It’s hard, though, not to appreciate the fantastic athleticism possessed by some of the players. Case in point: Blake Griffin. Watch it.
Stuff I Like: Guy Fieri Eating in Reverse
I’m a fan of Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives show. It’s not good for my weight, though, as I always end up hungry at around 11:30 at night. Conan presents an aspect of Triple D that you probably don’t need to see, and definitely don’t need to see twice: Guy Fieri, eating in reverse:
PillowMob: Kinda Weird, But Interesting
Sometimes you run across stuff that’s, uh, off the beaten path. PillowMob is one of those things. This site lets you upload or take a picture of yourself, or something else, and make it into a pillow. Weird. The pillow will cost you $25, if you go through with it. Get yours at PillowMob
