15 million candlepower rechargeable flashlight for 30 bucks.
I have absolutely no idea why you would need 15 million candlepower, but maybe someone who sees this will.

Mr. Jone's Watch Project.
It makes other watches seem so boring.
For instance, the Tilt watch:
[...] enables the wearer to check the time without looking at their watch or displaying it to others. It is a watch equivalent of Braille – a watch which can be read unsighted. It consists of two opposing faces on the front and back of the wrist. The wearer rotates their arm and as the watch passes through the corresponding angle of the hours and minutes, a pulse is transmitted onto the wrist allowing the wearer to ‘feel’ the time. This discreet action allows one to check the time without appearing either bored or impatient.

Truly bizarre.
I felt much better when I found out it was part of an Australian Museum exhibit called, "Death - The Last Taboo."

Update - 11/29:This track seems to have been pulled from the interweb. Since Beck has a (broken) link to it on his site, one can only assume The Gloved One or Sony is not pleased.
A surprisingly good mashup - Beck's "E-pro" & Michael Jackson's "Scream."
Almost reminds you why people liked Michael Jackson. Shame he didn't hang around with people like Beck more...

Why everyone should tip like a civilized human being.
Having a mom who's a waitress, I know the importance of tipping well. So I love this site. The gossip section is great, as is the STD (Shitty Tipper Database).

Not available in the US. Boo.
Now Kit-Kat has gone the extra mile by inviting top Japanese patissier Yasumato Takagi to create special flavors of Kit-Kat for more adult tastes. And what wonderful tastes they are, created by the man who is considered the king of desserts in Japan, taking the kit-kat to another level. This flavor is wine flavor, made with a cream blending real French wine and chocolate, with a pink color and a distinct wine aftertaste.

Black Friday.
As explained by Drew from toothpastefordinner.com:
"black friday". that is the term for this friday. if you're reading this from outside the united states, thursday (tomorrow, nov. 24) is a holiday called thanksgiving. i'm sure you've heard about it, but it's a thing we celebrate every year. its roots are in the traditional autumnal harvest festival, coupled with a tale about how when europeans came to america, the indians welcomed them and taught them how to grow corn.
then, shortly after the indians taught the europeans how to grow corn, the europeans promptly gave them disease, set up camp from one side of the continent to the other, and started churning out bumper stickers. the bumper stickers come in two varieties: "extreme viewpoint" and "infuriating cliche".
"black friday" is the day after thanksgiving, because i guess, uh,
well. i don't know why everyone goes out shopping that day. but they do. so. black friday.

Watch your web "traffic."
It's kinda sick, but, if I regularly worked on a PC, I'd try this. (No Mac version. Bummer.)
- See your website visitors as animated characters in a virtual city
- Watch visitors move from page to page and interact with your site
- See buses (search engines) deliver new visitors to buildings
- Pull up detailed 'Passports' on any visitor

The man who wouldn't die.
[Marino] gave Malloy unlimited credit, thinking it would soon put an end to him. It didn't; Malloy was in danger of drinking the bar into bankruptcy. Antifreeze, a deadly poison, was substituted for liquor, but still Malloy would drink until he passed out, wake up, and come back for more. Antifreeze was substituted with turpentine, followed by horse liniment, and finally mixed in rat poison. Still Malloy flourished. The gang began to get creative, thinking raw oysters soaked in wood alcohol would do the trick (this idea apparently came from Pasqua, who saw a man die after eating oysters with whiskey, which was probably an anomaly). Then came a sandwich of soiled sardines, carpet tacks, and metal shavings (none of which would likely lead to death in any case).
