What the…? – Page 2 – Chewing Glass

Move ’em on, head ’em out Rawhide!

I’ve written about Okunoshima Island before, but thought you might like to see an actual stampede:

Hey! She’s got banana chips! Get her!

Because We Can

I’ve written before about ridiculous technology, but I can’t pass up this opportunity to yell at the clouds once more.

Y’all have no doubt heard about the concept of an “internet of all things.” I’m not talking about the quantum-mechanical, interconnectedness-of-all-things that physicists go on about, but rather the push by various industries to make products that communicate with one another.

To that end we already have cars, refrigerators, phones, houses, cutlery, toothbrushes, beer mugs, toilets, and probably even candles, that have embedded microchips controlling the collection and dissemination of data via wi-fi/RFC. Some of these are truly handy, others less so.

Good Lord.

As if the product on the court weren’t embarrassing enough lately, now we have this…

O Man, Thy Name is Wuss

Got a minute? Take a little test:

1. Can you change a tire?

2. Can you sew?

3. Can you unclog a drain?

4. Can you cook?

5. Can you make fire?

6. Can you disassemble major household appliances AND successfully put them back together WITH extra parts left over (this is known as improving the design)?

7. Can you find your way without asking for help?

8. Are you going a little thin up top?

9. Do you need to shave every day?

If you answered yes to all these questions, you might be a man. There is one more diagnostic test that may be needed to determine that fact with certainty.
