I saw this at an import grocery store today.
I had to buy it because the packaging mystified me: why the hell is this amorous couple on the package?!?
Will pumpernickel get you laid?
Is there something about pumpernickel that I should know?
Sexy pumpernickel moments:
I was excited to stumble across the custom printed M&Ms site – print your own stuff on an M&M.
The potential for evil made my head spin.
Sadly, their list of Dos and Don’ts shut-down all of my juvenile M&M fantasies.
Consider this: their list of Dos and Don’ts had to be made because people tried these following stunts:
•“Please don’t use obscenities.”
•“No business names, product names, celebrity names, . . . landmarks, and names of schools or institutions.”
•” . . . we will not print any reference to drugs or prescription items . . .”
•” . . . the only single letter we print on our candy is the letter M.”
Rolling Rock Beer recently rolled out an interesting and cool interactive advertising MOONVERTISING campaign, allowing users to create their own advertisements on the moon. Blogadilla reader Ben sent me this cool one, designed specially for us– thanks bro!

Earlier this month, researcher/historian David Giovannoni (at First Sounds) discovered the earliest recording of a human voice, from the archives of the French Academy of Sciences. According to records, this sound recording was made by inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville on April 9, 1860 – 17 years before Thomas Edison. The recording was made on Scott de Martinville’s “phonautograph” which records sound onto a carbon (smoke)-blackened paper. Though his machine successfully recorded a human voice, Scott de Martinville had no means to play back the recording. This recording was scanned, processed, and converted into an audible clip at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
HERE IS THE AUDIO CLIP of Scott de Martinville’s recording – it is a 10 second passage from the French song “Au Clair de la Lune” (I also added a modern recording of the song for comparison).

What’s the point of robots unless you can make them annoying?
The Yellow Drum Machine:
“Like a hyperactive 3 year old, the little Yellow Drum Machine Robot wanders around the house looking for objects to drum on.”

Earlier this month I wrote a post about the spectacular theme-blog Stuff White People Like. And, of course, given the amount of attention this site has received, it was only a matter of time until someone did a lame ripoff. That day has arrived: Stuff Christians Like. Holy sh!t. Literally.
There are a few items that have yet to make it to their list:
#97 – Having to take conventional things and make them ‘Christian,’ as if everything in the secular world is just too damn corrupt or dangerous or just not magical enough.
#99 – Incessantly talking about being Christian in a self-congratulatory manner, to the point of making unimaginative blogs about it.
