This Says it All

Last year, Bush said the following about America's economy: "A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy – and that is what we have. … This economy is on the move, and our job is to keep it that way, not with more government, but with more enterprise.." – President George W. Bush, State Of The Union Address, 1/23/07

Wow.

Really?

Wow.

The end of summer is approaching fast, so it's time to squeeze in as much fun as you can. Today I came across this amazing Ice Cream Ballat Amazon.

From the website:

"With the unique Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you can make ice cream while on camping trips, at picnics, barbecues, and many other places. You don't need electricity to make great tasting ice cream, but rather just add ice and rock salt in one end and ice cream mix in the other end. Then, have a ball as you shake it, pass it, or roll it around for 10 to 15 minutes. The ice cream mix can be as simple as cream, sugar, and vanilla or you can try a more adventurous flavor from the included recipe list or make up your own concoction. Made of durable polycarbonate, the Ice Cream Ball is lightweight, portable, and easy to clean."

I want one.

Damn. I bet this thing would make amazing frozen cocktails!

Masturbation Remedy for Sinus Sufferers

A recent publication by S. Zarrintan, entitled "Ejaculation as a potential treatment of nasal congestion in mature males" has my head and nasal passages spinning. Published in the 2008 Journal of Medical Hypotheses, the article suggests that sinus sufferers simply masturbate as a way to clear nasal congestion.

The author suggests that ejaculation stimulates the adrenergic receptors, causing a side effect of decongestion. With proper masturbatory and sexual intercourse scheduling, you have a clear sinuses for the rest of your life!

Imagine that!

If I had only known about this when I wrote that artlce on the benefits of masturbation!

Periodic Coffee Table

If you're a geek like me, you're always looking for new nerd stuff to sit around the house. The Periodic Coffee Table is a beautiful, if expensive, addition to the home or office of any scientist! It is a beautiful acrylic block situated inside a table of burred oak. Actual element samples are blocked into the table, aside from several of the radioactive elements, which would just be unsafe.

You gotta love a coffee table that comes with it's own instruction sheet about "safety issues". I would LOVE to have one of these, unfortunately, this geek girl can't afford the $8500.00 price tag. For now, I'll just stick with the periodic table shower curtain that my SO got me for my birthday last year.

True geek love.

I am a grown woman, which means society says that I cannot decorate my bedroom with these amazing Nintendo wall graphics.

Fuck society.

I LOVE THESE!

ThinkGeek sells this version, plus a beautiful Donkey Kong version as well.

If I had a game room, I suppose society would let me put them there. Oh well. There are red bricks and mushrooms in my mind and there's nothing anyone can do about it!
