A man stands next to a 490 liter Grande Cuvee TBA NV No.7 2005 of Austrian wine maker Kracher during its presentation Rehetobel Switzerland, some 40 km (26 miles) from lake Constance on November 28, 2007.

The bottle itself has been certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest bottle of wine which holds the equivalent to 640 regular bottles, or 69,000 glasses of wine. Yum!…”hic”

Who want’s wants one for Christmas?

You can buy it here. And you can find more of my Etsy finds here.

Also, I know some people were disappointed that the Mermaid t-shirt I mentioned last week sold out. There’s another one on sale here.

Guy's Neat Performance with a Woman's Voice

Posted by Algonkin in Arts & Crafts, Music on December 2, 2007 at 2:42 pm

Nick Patera sings “Part of Your World” with an awesome woman’s voice! I am sure anyone who listens to his singing with their eyes closed would have think that the singer was a female.

Toys NOT for Tots.

Posted by Anita in Toy & Video Games on December 2, 2007 at 11:03 am

While looking online for toys for my three year old, I stumbled on a list of the Top 25 most baffling toys. Needless to say, very few of these seem to be appropriate for children (although most appear to be marketed to that demographic).

Take the doll pictured above (made in Russia). What child needs to have their nascent perceptions of sexuality be confused even more by a hermaphroditic doll? Maybe some marketing genius thought “hey, if we make a doll that has parts from both sexes, we can cut our production costs in half!”.

See the whole list at Cracked.com

Make Your Own Money Wallet.

Posted by Anita in Money & Finance on December 2, 2007 at 10:48 am

How about that … a wallet made out of money! MoneyWallet.org has step-by-step illustrated instructions on how you make your own wallet, in 1-2 hours, out of 20 $1 bills. I’d have to figure out how to add slots for credit cards and pictures of my kids – otherwise I’d be too tempted to sacrifice the wallet when I was short a couple bucks for a smoothie.

Top Secret Recipes

Posted by Algonkin in Food & Drinks on December 2, 2007 at 8:14 am

TSR In Orange County, California in the late 80’s Todd Wilbur received a copy of the notorious Mrs. Fields Cookie Recipe Chain Letter that had been making rounds across the nation. Trying the recipe led to disappointment. This was certainly no “secret formula.” The results tasted nothing like a delicious Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookie!

“Fake! Phony!” he cried. And then he wondered, “Just who are the goofballs passing this off as an authentic secret formula and how is it that such a bad knockoff recipe becomes so crazy popular?”

Todd had an idea. Since he had way too much free time on his hands, he got to work on a recipe for a cookie that had the flavor, texture and appearance of a real Mrs. Fields cookie. How hard could it be? Batch after batch the clones came closer to the real thing, until one day, it happened. The cookies came out chewy and delicious, with crispy edges and that strong vanilla aroma. Bingo! The first Top Secret Recipe was born.
