Even though Fall doesn't officially begin until next week, the Christmas catalogs have already begun to arrive. While I get that Christmas trees aren't necessarily "Christian" — they can be a fun way to celebrate the otherwise cold and dark winter season with light and color — there are some extremely odd ornaments for sale in the new catalog from Bronner's. Oh, I'm not talking about the usual wacky stuff: Snowmen, moose, birds, dolphins, vintage cars, Santa drinking wine, Betty Boop, frogs getting married, pirate ships, Hello Kitty, unicorns. I'm talking about seriously crazy items that will make even the most traditional among you say, well, Christ. What is this holiday really all about? Gadgets, pop icons, food products and mythic beasts, after the jump.

Burglar victims wake to spice rub, sausage attack

A burglar who broke into a home just east of Fresno rubbed food seasoning over the body of one of two men as they slept in their rooms and then used an 8-inch sausage to whack the other man on the face and head before running out of the house, Fresno County sheriff's deputies said Saturday.

Deputies, he said, had no problem linking the suspect to the crime.

"It seems the guy ran out of the house wearing only a T-shirt, boxer shorts and socks, leaving behind his wallet with his ID," Burrimond said.

Both the spices and the sausage, Burrimond said, reportedly were obtained from the victims' kitchen.

After the man fled, the victims discovered the home had been ransacked and that some money was taken, Burrimond said.

Burrimond said the money was recovered, but that the piece of sausage used in the attack was discarded by the suspect and eaten by a dog.

"That's right, the dog ate the weapon," Burrimond said.

"I tell you, this was one weird case."

Lawsuit says eatery to blame for 9-foot tapeworm

CHICAGO, Illinois -- A man who contends he got a 9-foot tapeworm after eating undercooked fish has sued a Chicago restaurant.

In the lawsuit filed Monday, Anthony Franz said he ordered salmon salad for lunch from Shaw's Crab House in 2006 and fell violently ill. He later passed the giant parasite, which a pathologist determined came from undercooked fish, such as salmon.

Franz's lawsuit seeks $100,000 from Shaw's and its parent company, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, contending the restaurant's staff was negligent in serving him improperly cooked fish.

But Carrol Symank, vice president of food safety for Lettuce Entertain You, said the tapeworm didn't come from Shaw's.

"We have done a thorough investigation, and we're confident the restaurant is not the source," he said.

According to the Web site mayoclinic.com, tapeworms can measure up to 50 feet long.

Kitty Litter cake!

clipper's remarks: great gift for a cat lover... I guess...

Clip Source: bertc.com

1 pk Spice cake mix
      1 pk White cake mix
      1 pk White sandwich cookies
      1 sm Package instant vanilla pudding mix

12 sm Tootsie Rolls

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions. Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender. They tend to stick, so scrape often.

When cakes are cooled, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. Gently combine. Pour into a clean kitty litter box.

Put unwrapped Tootsie Rolls in a microwave safe dish two at a time and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat until you have nine, and bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Heat three more Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Serve with a new pooper scooper.

World's Scariest Robots (That Already Exist)

It's the same old story: good movie about the future makes us sad that we live in the present. Then again, we've done some research, and it turns out that there are some pretty weird robots already out there. There's the EinsteinBOT, the Corpse-Eater Bot and a robot operated by a roach.

Clip Source: www.asylum.com

This machine, "Robokiyu the Rescue Robot," was originally designed to help remove rubble and trapped people from disaster zones. Until, that is, it was realized that the thing might be better suited to removing (and swallowing) those unfortunate people who had already died.

But nothing, nothing on Earth will make us accept the need for a robot controlled by the mind of a cockroach. This is pure evil. And what exactly does the cockroach intend to do with its newfound powers? Look around for food, move about at random or attack humanity and all its achievements? None of these sound very helpful.

Giant squid dissection stuff of 'myth and legend'

Scientists in Victoria say they have received worldwide interest in the dissection of one of the biggest squids ever caught.

Hundreds of people gathered at Melbourne Museum today to watch the public dissection of a 245-kilogram female squid captured off Portland in south-west Victoria last month.

Doctor Mark Norman says it has been one of the highlights of his career and has sparked huge interest in the community.

"They are these creatures of almost myth and legend and that just blows people away, but secondly, deep sea in general is just so fascinating because you don't have to travel to other planets to find alien creatures," he said.

"There's things down there where their entire bodies are made of snot, they've got detachable heads, their teeth fall out, they explode and they eat their snot jackets.

There is just weird things going on everywhere."

Pelosi rants.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:16:48 GMT

clipped by: sillysam
clipper's remarks: Announcing the Democrats' bold new "plan" on energy last week, Pelosi said breaking into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve "is one alternative." That's not an energy plan. It's using what we already have -- much like "conservation," which is also part of the Democrats' plan.

Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve for emergencies does not get us more energy. It's as if we were running out of food and the Democrats were telling us: "Just eat a little less every day." Great! We'll die a little more slowly. That's not what we call a "plan." We need more energy, not a plan for a slower death.

Clip Source: anncoulter.com

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or as she is called on the Big Dogs blog, "the worst speaker in the history of Congress," explained the cause of high oil prices back in 2006: "We have two oilmen in the White House. The logical follow-up from that is $3-a-gallon gasoline. It is no accident. It is a cause and effect. A cause and effect."

Yes, that would explain why the price of oral sex, cigars and Hustler magazine skyrocketed during the Clinton years. Also, I note that Speaker Pelosi is a hotelier ... and the price of a hotel room in New York is $1,000 a night! I think she might be onto something.

Is that why a barrel of oil costs mere pennies in all those other countries in the world that are not run by "oilmen"? Wait -- it doesn't cost pennies to them? That's weird.

Hey Dad,

I just came back from another fly camp and you’ll never believe the adventure I had. It was day two of our week out in the bush and we were just finishing (we being my assistant and I) our last traverse of the day and we were near to camp when I saw bear droppings that couldn’t have been more than 2 days old. I didn’t think much of it, but that night I heard some groaning by my tent and I thought it sounded a little weird, but I went back to bed. The next morning our camp was a mess, the coolers had been torn appart and all of the food devoured and garbage was spread everywhere. We callled into base camp and told them what had

Should We Fear Our Food?

WebMD Feature from "Redbook" Magazine

By Richard Laliberte

Industrial farming techniques may make it easier to find out-of-season fruit, but what are we giving up in exchange?

Once upon a time, farms were pastoral places close to nature, and the ability to obtain healthy, safe food was a given. In our high-tech agribusiness world, though, the innocence of food is vanishing fast. Recent outbreaks of food-borne illness have shown that simple plants like lettuce and spinach can harbor deadly germs. And the use of antibiotics and hormones in animal products also raises weird-science fears.

"Consumers expect food to be safe," says Ted Labuza, Ph.D., a professor of food science at the University of Minnesota. "But agriculture has become a huge industry that makes heavy use of technology in order to be more efficient, which can lead to unintended consequences."

Space Food: China is Growing Giant Food with Seeds from Outer Space

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:30:56 GMT

clipped by: josegsotelo

Clip Source: www.dailygalaxy.com

While most governments are reacting to the global food shortage by growing more food, the Chinese have decided to grow the same amount of fruits and vegetables, but with A TWIST: giant versions of standard food staples: 210-pound pumpkins, 2-pound tomatoes, and cucumbers that are over 2-feet long -- that are currently feeding families in 22 of China's provinces, and governments in Europe, Japan and elsewhere are taking notice.

This weird, believe-it-or-not scenario becomes even more fantastic as it turns out that the reason these foods can grow so huge is because they've been sent to outer space. The seeds get blasted into outer space, and, after they return, transform into enormous eatables -- but no one knows why.

Pringles can creator buried in invention

CINCINNATI — The man who designed the Pringles potato crisp packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.

Baur’s children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township.

Baur was an organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.

What to do with the unfamiliar vegetables in the CSA box

clipper's remarks: A good default method for those odd vegetables in the CSA box that make you wonder "now what do I do with that?"

Clip Source: ask.metafilter.com

Usually the default answer for anything weird in the CSA box is 'roast or grill with olive oil and garlic'. Has worked thus far for kolrabi, radishes, beets, some odd looking Japanese eggplant, and green garlic. They turn out delicious, and earned me the reputation of 'foodie' in our local CSA.

I was going to ask the same thing.
WS: We’ve been here for 11 years, it’s our home. I think it would be weird to be in Montreal, living here as long as we have, and be playing in a band that was all Anglophone. I’m glad that Nick’s French.
MW: The world we live in here is English and French, it doesn’t seem unnatural in any way.
NB: We’re like a real Québecois band: we’re a trio, we’re a unit, like pâté chinois.
WS: Didn’t you have a dream about that?
NB: A hot chicken. Warren was the meat, Woody was the bread because he holds everything together and I was the sauce because I go over everything. The peas were all our friends that came to help out! Maybe before the tour I’ll cook you some real Québecois food like pâté chinois and tourtière.
