20 Year Calendar Causes Me Intense Anxiety
1:15AM Jesus Diaz | I can barely plan next week, so this 20 year calendar gives me the creeps. That’s 7,300 pages, a whooping 2 feet (60 centimeters) of paper coming off the wall. More »

2:40PM Nick Broughall | If I was one of those people who liked peanut butter – and I’m not – then I’d be all over this kitchen gadget like, well, like peanut butter on toast. Stick your peanuts in, select whether you’re a crunchy or a smooth (but never oily or dry – wait was that the Kraft Peanut butter ad from years ago coming back to haunt this post? Anyway…) kind of guy and then blend away.
The best part is that it’s not just peanuts that can be butterised – stick in macadamias, sunflowers, cashews… whatever nut job you want, it’ll handle.
Of course, it’s a $US50 US-only product at the moment, but one day we’ll get the freedom to make our own nut butter down under.
Damn that sounded wrong…

The “Great Swallow” Project: How One Insane Person Gained Notoriety
10:30AM Sean Fallon | I don’t know what you thought “the great swallow project” was (actually I do), but I can tell you what it’s not. It is definitely not the act of a sane, rational person. For some reason or another, artist Benjamin Verdonck built a nest hanging high on the Rotterdam Weena Tower in the Netherlands. Apparently he has been sitting in the nest for a few days now, acting like a bird and gazing longingly at pedestrians and the giant egg he placed in the street. If you can’t actually make it to see this installation in person, you can still get a feel for the weirdness in the video after the break. More »
Hillary Clinton Nutcracker Teaches Those Republican Nuts a Lesson
12:52AM Charlie White | Who says Hillary’s a ballbuster? No, she’s a nutcracker. Here’s proof. Just in time for the Christmas season, shell out $29.99 and remove the shells from your walnuts with style. When she’s done cracking nuts, Hillary stands up on her own, lording over you as she awaits her next opportunity to bust a few nuts. And if you don’t like it, well, you can just sleep on the couch, buster. [Teptronics] More »
