Squirrel Lamp

Alex

Brett & Kate McKay of the Art of Manliness Blog wrote a neat post about some of the worst products ever created for men, which included dubious products like hair in a can, chest hair toupee, prostate warmer and so on. The popularity of the post got them to write a sequel, listing gems like glow-in-the-dark neckties, paste-on facial hair, and swim trunks that act like floaties.

But for reasons unknown, though I assume alcohol was involved, they included this incredibly awesome squirrel lamp - so I am duly forced to rename their post "12 More of the Worst Products For Men Ever Created and One Really, Really Awesome Squirrel Lamp." So there I fixed it.

Link - Thanks Mu!

I was cleaning out my grandfather's closet after he had passed away. I was wondering why he had a tie with that exact same lady in a dress on it. I tossed it out thinking it wasn't anything important.

Hey Alex, I just wanted to say thanks for actually taking the time to lookup the source page for the image. It's a rare blogger who sources an image better than the blog he's linking to!

BTW: Your "Contact Us" link on the bottom of the page does not work for me in either Chrome or Firefox. In the Firefox JS Console I get:

The MP3 format was completed September 1990... LONG before the 1993 internet release of Depeche Mode's album. QuickTime (with audio and video compression) was first released in 1991. The proprietary predecessor codecs that later became MP2 and MP3 date back to the mid 80s. And audio compression was around even earlier, with phone companies wanting to squeeze more calls in.
