Improper use of a flux capacitor...

03/28/07
1.22 gigawatts is too much!

Doc Brown wasn't just a good temporal engineer. He also knew a thing or two about electrical wiring and auto mechanics. Well this Johnny-come-lately tried to wire his OWN flux capacitor (purchase details found here) to his Delorean. The results are self-evident.

Most expensive things at Amazon

03/26/07
In looking for stuff for my new house, I ran across this little web site that itemizes the most expensive things at Amazon.

Music: Luminous Arc: Music from the game, $6,442.99. The soundtrack to a Nintendo DS game that’s going to be released later this year.

Toys: A city-park-size playground system for $32,229.59. The most expensive toy for a single child is an electric monster truck for $13,800. For that I bet the kid would have more fun with a real, yet not monster, truck.

Furniture & Décor:Goddard replica“, $9,999,999. I’m not sure what it’s a replica of, but I’m betting it’s not the entire space research complex. If that seems a bit too much, then there’s a $999,999 space rock paperweight. Incidentally Amazon themselves put the accent on the “e” in “Décor”.

See the entire list.

Change your pharmacist

03/16/07
In a thorough but unscientific survey, a guy decided to poll all the local pharmacies for their prices on the cost of generic Prozac. He found that they could be 900 times more expensive than the exact same drug if they were bought from Costco.

Better make sure your grandparents know about this.

They don't have elevators on aircraft carriers

Maybe I should overcome my problem with cruise ships...
