The Slanket, the Snuggie, the Freedom Blanket or the supremely expensive and extravagant Blankoat? This is the most important question of the millennium. You’re about to know the answer.
Like the Princess and the Pea, everything bothers me while I’m snoozing. If you’re like me, perhaps we should rethink our blankets and sleep with something extra comfortable—like this blanket constructed entirely out of pillows.
While sleeves with blankets are not new, our partners-in-crime at Jezebel have discovered this funny remix of the terrifying Snuggie infomercial, perfect for Tibetan monks and dummies. [Jezebel]
Sure, explosions are great and everything, but isn’t there a more gentle way to catch errant satellites and missiles? There sure is, according to a recent patent from SVC solutions. Rather than blow them up, we can just wrap them in a giant blanket and parachute them to Earth! Yes, it’s so stupid it comes right back around to being brilliant, and I think the military should start producing these right away. Get on it, USA! [FlightGlobal]
Why eat in the dark when you can shove a bunch of LEDs on a picnic blanket and call it a day? We can’t come up with a reason, so head on over to Instructables to see how you can build your own.
All you need is a string of 64 LEDs, a bunch of PVC sheeting, plastic buckles, 5 AA batteries, a 6 AA battery holder, and…jeez, this list is long. Are they building a picnic blanket or hatching a plot to blow up CTU?
