New Condoms Put Ads On The Latex
03/13/11 -- Wacky News
“A condom maker is taking the truism ‘sex sells’ very literally. A new line of the contraceptives puts advertising not just on the wrapper, but the latex itself. Graphic Armor Inc.’s new Picture Condoms meet all FDA requirements and it claims they’re the first to feature full-color images on the latex. They’re starting with a condom branded with the rock band Kiss that shows Gene Simmons’ tongue unfurled. Another Kiss version featuring bandmate Paul Stanley is slated for June.” w/ photo

Eggs Boiled In Urine?
03/13/11 -- Wacky News
“Eggs hard boiled in children’s urine could be about to sweep the world if a small corner of China has anything to do with it. Traditional chefs in Dongyang, Zhejiang province, eastern China, are trying to convince everyone that they’re really not just taking the pee. Spring eggs hard boiled in children’s urine have been a treat in this part of China for thousands of years and now culture officials want to take it worldwide. Chef Lu Ming said: ‘The urine is gathered from local schools and the very best comes from boys under 10 years old. They pee in buckets and we collect it fresh every day,’ Then the eggs – which have official cultural significance status – are boiled in the wee, first with their shells on and then with them off for a day and a night before they’re ready to be eaten. He said: ‘The eggs are delicious and healthy. They stop fevers and can help you concentrate if you’re feeling sluggish or sleepy.” w/ photo
One Year In 90 Seconds
03/13/11 -- Pretty Cool
“I recorded clips with a 15mm fisheye, a 24mm wide angle and a 50mm lens. I’ve made three different versions. The first one is the one at the top of this article. Shot with the 15mm fisheye and “defished” using Fisheye Hemi in Photoshop. To do that I exported the video as an image sequence and did a batch job in Photoshop to run the fisheye hemi filter and some cropping. The 50mm gives a closer look at the trees and I decided to make a longer video that gives a better view of how nature evolves with that footage. I ended up with 120 seconds.” — Eirik Solheim
Top 10 Most Sensual Blonde Bombshells
03/13/11 -- Top Lists
“Sexy, famous, blonde AND talented – that’s what it takes to be a modern Hollywood bombshell. No longer is it enough to be born beautiful, like the classically silent but sexy pin-up girl of the 1940’s. The blonde bombshell has evolved. She is now required to be sinfully charismatic and multi-talented. These high-powered sex symbols are a product of careful training and primping – often working with teams of voice and acting coaches, personal trainers, nutritionists, business managers and hair stylists… What is the prize for achieving such status? Millions of adoring fans (both male and female), a hard body and eternal fame. Is it worth all the trouble? Ask these smokin’ hot ladies.” w/ photos
