Swiss to build world’s longest tunnel.

Great. Now build me a chocolate watch.

Seriously though, this is a pretty cool feat of engineering. And it’s good that it’s driven by a goal that’s at least partly environmentally conscious.

Mmm… chocolate watch… *drool*

I am, officially, a little queasy.

Bear in mind that I am an avowed carnivore. I have no particular problem with eating a hot dog now and then. I love bacon. I typically don’t think twice about eating things that have been deep fried. While I don’t necessarily care for cheese-product, I do like cheese. And yet, when you put all these things together into one monstrosity of nature, I have to say that my stomache doesn’t even like the concept of this link:

Bacon-wrapped, cheese-filled, deep-fried hot dogs!

And with all that said, does anyone know what it costs to open a booth at the Minnesota State Fair? :)

Poop in a Box

No, it’s not a Justin Timberlake parody. I present you with the:

“Gotta Go Briefcase”: The #1 Briefcase When You Have To Go #2.

I don’t know if it’s real or fake, and frankly I don’t care. If only Jason were a travelling businessman, this’d be a great present for him.

America’s Drunk Driving Dilemma

This is a fairly interesting blog post. I agree with the general assertion that America is, as a whole, geared towards car travel. Drunk driving is not the only casualty of the system, but it is one of the most dangerous.

Personally, I think the biggest impediment to reducing the problem is the fact that you’re unlikely to be caught. And without a large increase in police numbers, which costs public money, any penalties are likely to be seen as unenforceable. Already enough people drive with suspended licenses simply on the premise that they have to drive, and they probably will not get caught.

Men look at crotches

Fascinating.

But I think it begs the question: Are they looking at crotches in general, or are they specifically looking at George Brett’s crotch? ‘Cause who wouldn’t look at that, right?

I’ve said too much.
