Baby Sleep Sacks -- in the early 80's my mom bought the proto-proto-type of the Snuggie/Slanket/Forever Lazy. It looked like a sleeping bag, but it snapped up the front. You got in, and the top inside corners could fold down over your shoulders and snap at the center front, creating two sleeves. Or, you could unsnap it all the way and use it like a regular blanket. Awesome!
Ummm, it was a joke. I see there are a few Grinches here. Oops, I guess that would be the wrong term -- you are here to save Christmas, not steal it :-)
There was an article on "The Daily Show" last night about people being terribly offended about the removal of "Christmas" in the name of a parade in Oklahoma -- when all the planners wanted to do was be more inclusive of other beliefs (you know, Christians aren't the only ones who have religious celebrations at this time of year). The offended certainly didn't seem to embrace the message of the season: peace and love. @Richard, your link shows that this is not an isolated incidence. At least the Rabbi is tolerant of other people's beliefs.
This isn't serious, right? C'mon. I can understand paying more for something like, say, grass-fed milk in glass bottles, since I can't do that myself. But sharpen a pencil? What kind of gits does this guy think we are? : )
I have, on occasion, noticed this phenomenon when driving to DC on I-70. I have pondered why my odometer did not match what the signs told me, and have, on different trips, come to the same conclusions as R2K and Randi: time travel, or, quite possibly, the signs were incorrect. But I think Mr. Paluka's observations are the most reasonable conclusion.
Probably could have saved himself a lot of time and money if he had built it out of cardboard. That thing *looks* like it's made of cardboard, so why not? (That being said, the design and concept is pretty damn cool)
