Chewing gum-size iPod not edible | News.blog | CNET News.com: "Chewing gum-size iPod not edible"

This curious and seemingly obvious piece of advice regarding Apple's new budget music player comes courtesy of Apple itself, which includes the warning amid the small type on the main product page for its new flash memory-based gadget.

A Google news search on "+flash +eat +player" confirmed that audio player chewing did not turn into a sudden fad while we were away for the holidays, which leaves us scratching our heads over the purpose of the Apple warning.

Best we can figure is that they're worried about the size comparison most frequently used for the new gadget. To be clear: The iPod Shuffle is about the size of a pack of chewing gum. It has no other gumlike qualities. It will not freshen your breath, annoy your parents with loud snapping and popping, or muck up a stranger's shoe if you drop it.

Sounds like the Apple Ad department has a CARS fan.

Target : Blue Q Chastity Underwear: "In fact, we might go so far as to recommend NOT wearing them..."

Yup that's right, buy these panties... er "chastity underwear", but don't wear them. As long as we've got your money, we don't care what you do with the product. Why oh why would anyone make these? Or try to sell them by telling you not to ware them!?

Great Ball's of Fire!

Times Online - Britain

To keep the testicles at an ideal temperature — and for greater comfort — men naturally sit with their legs further apart than women. When working on a laptop, however, they will adopt a less natural position in order to balance it on their laps, which results in a significant rise in body heat between their thighs.

IS that so? I thought I naturally sat with my legs further apart than women because there is something there that I don't want to SMASH! I've never thought to myself, man my ball's are hot, I better open my legs wide to cool them off. But I guess I'm pretty much infertile because I tend to always carry my work cell phone in my left pocket, personal cell phone in my right pocket and my key chain has one of those remote car door unlockers on it. I also happen to use a laptop at work and own a Powerbook and an iPod.

Is this why girls don't throw them selves at me? They see me and think to them selves, he's got a cell phone, he's infertile, ignore him.

Whatever.
