Smuggle alcohol into an event using the "Beerbelly" and" Winerack"

In an article for The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, describes various ways he managed to defeat airport security in the US. At one point, he was subjected to "secondary inspection" while he was secretly wearing a neoprene "Beerbelly" filled with beer under his shirt. The "investigator" didn't notice it. In the photos above, you can see the Beerbelly and Winerack in action.

Here's a few other headlines:

1. Supposedly, studies indicate watching black and white television as a child causes people to dream in black and white. (I dream in color, but there's never sound in my dreams.) Via.


2. Yesterday was "anti-piracy day." Wouldn't that make it "ninja day?" Via.


3. Reusable diapers are worse for the environment than disposable diapers. Via.

Desktop Wallpaper: Matt Groening's Hellboy

(Don't miss Bart Simpson as Lobster Johnson.)



The issue of Hellboy distributed on Free Comic Book Day 2008 included this Hellboy/Futurama mashup by Matt Groening. Click on it for a wallpaper-sized version.

Best comic I picked up was Tiny Titans. Cute, funny. I'll definitely buy it in the future.




One free comic I didn't enjoy was Cable #1. For a much more exciting take on the exact same concept, I highly recommend Grendel: War Child. I do like the thought of Cable wearing a Baby Bjorn, but what is he, seven feet tall?

Vintage ad promotes giving soda to babies

Text says:

How soon is to soon?
Not soon enough. Laboratory tests over the last few years have proven that babies who start drinking soda during that early formative period have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and "fitting in" during those awkward pre-teen and teen years. So do yourself a favor. Do your child a favor. Start them on a strict regimen of sodas and other sugary carbonated beverages right now, for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness.

My first riot helmet

Our most popular riot helmet provides outstanding protection and superior comfort for your baby. The model features an optically clear, UV resistant, polycarbonate face shield with an integrally molded liquid seal. My first riot helmet can be trusted to protect your baby in any riot situation.

One of the many delightful devices described at Bullet Proof Baby, a terrific tie-in site for the upcoming movie Shoot 'Em Up. Spotted at The Defamer.

Mysterio Infant Shirt

Parents may try to shape their children's futures, but no one can see what type of person baby will become. No one that is, except Mysterio! Remaining unknown until the sealed Mysterio pouch is opened, each onesie is printed with a future occupation, such as romance novelist, monkey wrangler, conspiracy nut or criminal mastermind. Give as a fun gift at the next baby shower or take a chance and dress your kiddo in one - at least it will give you plenty of time to accept her fate. Imported. Sold individually.
