Grocery Store Musical Improv
This is entertaining, a group of secret actors/singers all pretend to be ordinary grocery shoppers but then bust into a full fledge musical. Some of the expressions on peoples faces are priceless. Below is an excerpt from the “secret actors”.
For our latest mission, six undercover actors burst into song in a grocery store in Queens. Three minutes and lots of silly choreography later, they returned to their roles as shoppers and stock boys. The mission was filmed with hidden robotic, lipstick, and wearable cameras. The song was played over the store’s PA system live.

Actual haunted places near you!
Here is an interesting website that I ran into regarding actual haunted places in Michigan. The list is in Alphabetical order of town or city and features a brief description of the haunting. Please note that some of the places on this list are ridiculous and pointless. Have fun ghost hunting!

Intact destruction
An entire apartment building in Shanghai collapsed and the crazy thing is that it’s pretty much intact. Usually when a really big building falls over, it gets destructtified on impact. This building was in the final steps of completion when it crashed over. OK, now could you imagine living in the other “identical buildings” without worrying that you might tip over as well? I mean…that would suck! :/

Ugly tattoos are out there, you may even sport one! I’m sure some of us got one done when we were young and stoopid by a half ass amateur resulting in a regret. Anyway here is a new blog that goes by the name of www.ugliesttattoos.com that features some real embarrassing gems. Below are a couple tat’s you should never ever, ever show in public….ever!

Fever detecting baby clothes
This baby had a fever on the left side only!
OK, before you even knock this concept and claim that Body Glove had t-shirts that did this back in the days of old school keep reading. The inventor of the “Babyglow” material claims that he sunk millions to get the material to work just right. This little baby body suit thing will turn white when baby has a decent fever, supposedly this will completely turn another color (not fade or heat spots) when the baby gets a fever of 100.5
Thats great and all but wouldn’t this just benefit babies that don’t get picked up much? Because the last time I checked Babbie’s are like little stuffed animals that adults carry around and play with….basicly I’m saying that a parent pretty much always knows when a baby has a fever. I think whats really going on here is that someone found yet another way to make a buck from paranoid parents.

Zune HD gets Tegra!
I recently did a small preview of the Zune HD device thats coming out this fall which can be found (here). What I didn’t know then is what exactly would be powering the device, well it has unofficially been confirmed that the Tegra chip will be the muscle behind the Zune HD. This is exciting news because the Tegra is incredibly powerful and even more impressing is the insane battery life. Devices that sport a Tegra can be expected to:
- Run Audio for up to 100 hours
- Play back full screen 720p HD video up to 10 hours
- High quality 3d gaming at levels currently unattainable.
I’ve had my eye on the Tegra since I first heard rumors of it’s existence and am looking forward to see how it performs first hand. This is a pretty big deal in the land of portable electronics, it’s not everyday that something comes out to offer highend laptop CPU power with 5X increase in battery life all in the palm of your hand. 
Check out the live demo of the Tegra chip in the video below.

Why don’t we have these game shows?
Maybe it has something to do with getting whacked with bamboo when you get eliminated from the game show.

Product naming gone very wrong
Marketing blunder or marketing guy who just wanted to see what he could get away with, you decide.

Trillion dolla bill ya’ll
Pictured above is one trillion dollars in $100 bills in double stacked pallets! If you look on the left side you will notice a person, this is to show you scale. The question is, how is this going to fit in Dr. Evils submarine lair? :p
