Thanks to UltraMagnus for the heads up on this great bacon find: the Wake-N-Bacon Alarm clock!

Almost certainly the greatest feat of bacon engineering to date, the Wake-N-Bacon is  “an alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon” because “no one likes to wake up, especially to an alarm.”  Check out how it works here:

Though the Wake-N-Bacon appears to not currently be for sale to the public, you can most likely email Matty of Mathlete.com for a quote.

The “Wasp Knife” was designed to kill bears and sharks (and ninjas) – this knife can inject a ball of frozen compressed gas and flash-freeze internal organs, etc. But British Police now fear this type of knife may show up on the streets (DailyMail Online link).

Wendy’s has created the answer to the question:
“How much meaty awesomeness can fit into a single burger?!?”

Behold the burger of the Carnivore Gods: The Baconator.

It’s like a farm in between two buns: two 1/4 lb. burgers with six strips of hickory smoked bacon.

This is the Banana Oreos of the burger world.
Mmmmm.
Bacon.

It’s been years since I’ve given a damn about Oreos . . . until now.
Until they made them BANANA!
If awesome had a flavor, it would be banana Oreo.
I never thought a cookie could give me a boner.

Yes, you heard me right.
Mike.
Chicken.
Headless.

In the 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen cut the head off of “Mike” the chicken. However, Olsen managed to strike the chicken at the base of the head – mostly decapitating it – but leaving part of the bird’s brain in tact. Remarkably, the headless chicken still walked about, made pecking motions, flapped its wings, and survived for 18 months (Olsen fed it with an eyedropper into its “neckhole”). Olsen toured the country with “Headless Mike” and they even made an appearance in Life Magazine. The town of Fruita, Colorado (Mike’s hometown) now proudly displays a headless chicken statue in his honor.
