Don't Have Enough Dough to Buy a DS? Look no further...

Neo Double Games

So Junior wants a Nintendo DS for his birthday, but you spent all of his gift money on the ponies? Not a problem! Your bookie should have no trouble finding you a deal on this Chinese imposter. Just be aware of a few minor differences.

The included hand strap and ear buds are garbage, as is the hinge that joins the two screens. And what about those screens? That's where things get weird. The Neo comes packaged with two randomly selected, low-budget games -- the model in this photo came with 'Soccer' and 'Street Fighter' (yes, 'Street Fighter' is also a fake). The games are actually built right into the two removable screens. You power on the Neo and the top screen plays 'Street Fighter' while the bottom screen plays dead. To play 'Soccer,' you have to turn the unit off and swap the screens. As you'd expect, there's no touchscreen. There isn't even a Luigi.

The Craziest Shoes From Around The World Part II

Continuing my search for The Craziest Shoes From Around The World, here are the next 23 weird shoes I found. Some of these include heelless heels, gadget shoes, fish shoes, convertible heels, and built-in alarm platforms to scare off all those attackers (what a fantastic idea).

Personally, I like the umbrella shoes.

10 Weird and Unusual Cars

10 Weird and Unusual Cars

1. The Zoop Car: Designed by the unlikely candidate of Paris fashion house Maison de Courrèges, this electric car is actually capable of speeds of up to 120mph and can seat three people. It might be eco-friendly and relatively fast, but I don’t imagine driving a lemon is for everyone’s taste.

2. The Parkcycle: Whilst not technically a car, it’s roughly car-shaped and was used to occupy parking spaces for the global event PARK(ing), in which participants turn ordinary parking spaces into public parks. Designed by art group Rebar and with a top speed of around 8km/h, it may not be the most maneuverable vehicle, but it does come with a 5m tree on it!

3. The Live-In Truck: Living Is.be has transformed the bed of a truck into a fully-functional living space. With hatches in the roof to allow natural sunlight and ventilation into the room, it also comes with a double bed, a sink, shower (naturally with running water) and a kitchen stove.

clipper's remarks: Guidelines to craft a blog worth reading (instead of shitting out something that deserves to be ignored)

Clip Source: www.43folders.com

As I think about the blogs I’ve returned to over the years — and the increasingly few new ones that really grab my attention — I want to start with, ironically enough, a list. Here’s what I think helps make for a good blog.

Good blogs have a voice.

Good blogs reflect focused obsessions.

Good blogs are the product of “Attention times Interest.”

Good blog posts are made of paragraphs.

Good “non-post” blogs have style and curation.

Good blogs are weird.

Good blogs make you want to start your own blog.

Good blogs try.

Good blogs know when to break their own rules.

clipper's remarks: :If the apartment's a rockin', the British courts will come a knockin'."

Adam Hinton, 32, of Brighton was fined several hundred dollars last week for having loud sex and breaching a noise-abatement order.

Neighbors had complained for two years about Hinton, gal pal Kerry Norris and their noisy romps at her flat. Now the courts have banned Hinton from going within 100 meters of Norris' one-bedroom pad.

WEIRD BUT TRUE

A Los Angeles man talks trash - and saves it.

Dave Chameides has saved 30 pounds of his trash in the past eight months to make a point.

Despite his disgusting home - complete with empty soda bottles on the staircase, pizza boxes lining the walls and a cellar filled with used tea bags - it's still far short of the 900 pounds of garbage an average American makes in eight months.

A 12-year-old Michigan boy reeled in what he thought was a severed human arm.

Zack Bastian and his stepdad called police, only to learn it was fake and belonged to a law-enforcement agency's dive team.

The weighted-down dummy had been lost during a police exercise in June.

A day after giving birth to septuplets, an Egyptian woman said she's seen her babies only on TV.

Ghazala Khamis, 27, was still hospitalized yesterday after giving birth a day earlier to four boys and three girls.

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.

When 'The Blob' came to town

There is a man. He carries a can, and inside it is a weird, blood-red hunk of goo the size and consistency of a generous bowl of lumpy raspberry Jell-O.

The town, Phoenixville, is a place of history, too. Fifty years ago, this place was touched by the spotlight. A small production company two towns over made a film that no one expected to go anywhere. Instead, it became one of the iconic sci-fi horror flicks of the 1950s and introduced the world to an actor named Steve McQueen.

In real life, this happens: Each summer, hundreds of locals and folks from as far away as Oregon and Jamaica come to the center of Phoenixville. They visit the house where the doctor "died," stop by the strip mall where the market once stood, eat at the diner on the site where the alien met its frozen end. And, on Phoenixville's main drag, on a warm summer evening, more than 400 of them run screaming from the same theater, the Colonial, in a joyous re-enactment of the movie's big scene.

clipper's remarks: (thanks to Cathy E. in LJ...Watts continues:
If you go out at night and look at the stars you will realize that they are millions and millions and billions of miles away - vast configurations out in space! You can lie back and look at that and say, "Whew! Surely I hardly matter. I am just a tiny little peek-a-boo on this weird spot of dust called Earth, and all that out there was going on billions of years before I was born, and will still go on billions of years after I die." Nothing may seem stranger to you than that - more different than you. But there comes a point when you will say, "Why, that's me!" And when you know that, you never die."

"Differences, borders, lines, surfaces, and boundaries do not really divide things from each other at all; they join them together. All boundaries are held in common. When you understand this, you see that the sense of being "me" is exactly the same sensation of being one with the whole cosmos. You do not need to go through some other weird, different, or odd kind of experience to feel in total connection with everything. Once you get the clue, you see that the sense of unity is inseparable from the sense of difference. The secret is that what is "other" eventually turns out to be you. That is the element of surprise in life - to find the thing that is most alien to you.

Chinese populace has a crush on Kobe

BEIJING — In China, Kobe Bryant is loved.

In China, Kobe Bryant is greeted with cheers.

In China, Kobe Bryant is a shut-in.

Well, at least for the duration of the USA men's basketball team's run at the Beijing Olympics, he is.

"The military won't let me go out," Bryant said, talking about the crowds that congregate wherever he goes.

Bryant has been able to attend other Olympic events and visit the athletes' village but even the few times he has done that have caused some angst for Chinese security worried about crowd control.

"If I go out in public, the military will be more than happy to walk with me and tell me to get my butt back to the hotel," Bryant said.

No other USA player attracts more people, more cheers - "Kobe-a!" the Chinese call him - or more love than the Los Angeles Lakers star and 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player.

"It's a little weird when people walk past you and they scream and start crying," Bryant said. "That freaks you out."
