Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tommy, I think you'd like some of these. Ask Santa.

From the link:

do not allow them to snap together with their full force or they may chip, break, and possibly send small pieces of metal flying on impact. Our larger magnets can easily bruise fingers and even break finger bones as they attempt to connect together. Always wear protective eyewear or safety goggles when handling the magnets.

So strong, they can hurt you - cool!

I wonder what would happen if you throw a bunch of these at a car?

I totally want those, but I'm way too careless to have something like that around.

The potential new species of carnivore in Borneo would be the first since the discovery of the Borneo ferret-badger in 1895, the WWF said.

Damn. I didn't even know about the ferret-badger! I am so behind the times (about 110 years behind the times...)

I didn't know Lee Tergesen was in this new bounty hunter show Wanted. Guess I'll have to check this out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What kind of billboard?!??!

I liked that Wanted, and am glad it's back. Yay Lee Tergesen.

OK, these are the most powerful magnets they have:

Beware - you must think ahead when moving these magnets. If carrying one into another room, carefully plan the route you will be taking. Computers & monitors will be affected in an entire room. Loose metallic objects and other magnets may become airborne and fly considerable distances - and at great speed - to attach themselves to this magnet. If you get caught in between the two, you can get injured.

Two of these magnets close together can create an almost unbelievable magnetic field that can be very dangerous. Of all the unique items we offer for sale, we consider these two items the most dangerous of all. Our normal packing & shipping personnel refuse to package these magnets - our engineers have to do it. This is no joke and we cannot stress it strongly enough - that you must be extremely careful - and know what you're doing with these magnets. Take Note: Two of the 3" x 1" disc magnets can very easily break your arm if they get out of control.

With a dozen of these, you could become a super-villian.

Also, it'd be fun to put one of these in a back-pack, walk down a crowded sidewalk or subway station and see what happens....

I just saw a promo for... the new show on SciFi, the one with Colin, Friend of ita. I'd have been intrigued even without the friend of invisible internet person connection. Weird, funky, secret tech stuff, humor, and a cutie-pie of a lead. Yep, that'll do it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I have a feeling these have been linked before, but still, I must share -- Cthulhu slippers.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Wait, isn't Isaac on this week?
