Perception is important in how you taste things; you taste what you expect to taste, more or less. Which is why wearing a big VR helmet can change how you taste a bland cookie.

You Can Finally Eat Everything You Tweet

I’ve been accused of tweeting too much more than once, but I’ve finally discovered the perfect excuse: I’m going to claim that someone is turning my every tweet into a cookie like this and donating it to a starving child.

Foetus Cookie Cutter Makes Abortion Appetising?

Gizmodo AU

I’m not entirely sure what kind of a message the people behind the Foetus cookie cutter are trying to send here. I assume it’s that abortion is wrong, that every life is special and by handing out cookies in the shape of a human foetus, it will raise awareness of the pro-life movement. But a part of me can’t help but think that there are people out there who would take a cookie cut in the shape of a human foetus to mean that abortion is sugary-sweet. Available for $US10 through the aptly named Stupid.com. [Stupid.com via Babblebaby]
