Tinfoil Hat … House

The tinfoil hat is a long-standing comedy icon of the conspiracy minded, but one family in California has taken it to new heights by wrapping their house in aluminum.

According to the home owners, their house is under radio wave radiation attack by unknown neighbors, an explanation city officials obviously don’t buy. The family has been ordered to remove their home’s protective layer.

Tide to Go

A nice, clean, white dress shirt is a very powerful magnet for food stains, as I found out during a quick lunch today at work. It’s as if the Arby’s special sauce had been laying in wait for its singular chance to ruin my day.

My little midday mishap clued me in to the existence of Tide to Go, a handy little product I found at the local grocery store, though. The $2.99 pen-shaped container allows you to apply the cleaner straight onto the stain like a detergent marker.

At first, I was highly skeptical, but after the area began to dry, I actually had trouble spotting the stain even knowing exactly where it was. While there was a very slight remnant of the mishap, it was faint enough that most people I would encounter for the rest of the day wouldn’t even notice.

Well worth the purchase, and the pen has earned a permanent place in my car for the next time my sloppy, klutzy self makes a mess of my clean, white work shirt.

Guinness to recognize Pac-Man

Pac-Man, the iconic video game of the 80s, is on it’s way to be included in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s most popular arcade game.

Pac-Man was first released to video arcades in 1980 and within eight years had sold more than 293,000 units to arcades around the world. During that time, the little yellow character managed to appear in toys, board games, saturday-morning cartoons and even the oddly popular song “Pac Man Fever”. Decades later, games like Pac-Man World (1999) and Pac-Man World 2 (2002) still manage to sell a million copies each.
