Silly Fun

It's a web page that will make your coffee cup obsolete! It has room for a fridge magnet inside and is completely reversible.
It's a jetpack that pushes things down staircases! It is powered by a single hamster and can help you lose weight.
It's a rubber fish that fetches help in the event of an emergency! It can pick locks.
It's a piece of string that doubles as an alcoholic drink and improves blood clotting.
It's a pair of trousers that can cook small meals, has a mind of its own and plays a mean game of Go.
It's a handheld billboard that can speak twelve languages, asks trivia questions and repels bees.
What more does one need?

Beware of Strangers Eating Candy

My relationship with television has been long and rich. It taught me to speak English. It taught me that if I call someone's cellular device a "phone" I am risking creating a big emotional scene at best, or being eaten by a whale at worst. And now it has taught me to be on the look out for liars with candy.

The Mars Corporation is marketing a candy bar apparently designed to help people lie. I suspect there may be tips and pointers printed on the wrapper--I don't know, because I'm afraid if I try to buy one and check,the clerk will give me one of those looks--the kind you get when you purchase prophylactics, booze, and fireworks all at once. But the commercials are clear--buy this product if you need to come up with a lie. How exactly it works is a mystery--maybe it is laced with falsehood producing chemicals--something that simultaneously suppresses the conscience and stimulates creativity.

So, be warned. If you are having an encounter with a person and they stall by pulling out one of these "liar's bisquits", just point and yell "LIAR!!!!!!"
