Useful Information

My friends I have blogged about having a dysfunctional digestive system and have written about the adventures created from eating Chicken Vindaloo. Dig through the archives and you’ll find a post in which a commenter suggested that men shouldn’t urinate while standing up and all sorts of other interesting bathroom posts.

But I don’t think that I have ever come across a company that suggested you purchase a product called CleanButt. Perhaps the food coma hangover from Thanksgiving is preventing me from recognizing a parody site, but I just don’t think so. Take a look at this video and you can thank me later.

Remember I am also the guy who brought you information about how much it would cost to Build The Death Star, How To Use Office Supplies to Build a Crossbow and how to Lose Weight With The Greatest Exercise Ever so it is only natural that I would look for more useful information to share with you here.

On a semi serious note I would be concerned about having a toilet seat that requires reading an owners manual.  Something about that makes me nervous. Maybe it is the telephone calls I receive now from family members who need help programming their television remote, VCR or ask for assistance with basic computer issues. If they have trouble using a computer or iPad this might be problematic.

They might require a course on advanced potty training.

And now if you will excuse me I am off to hit the treadmill so that I can eat more pumpkin pie later on.

The Shweeb is one of the interesting and intriguing solutions to commuting that I have seen which probably explains why Google invested in it.  I’ll let you decide as to whether it is coincidental that the Zorb is in New Zealand too.

It is an interesting concept and something that I think is worth exploring. I can see health benefits tied into it.

Friends, here at the Shack we work hard in making sure that we provide you with news and information that makes a difference in your life. Your health, safety and well being are our priority which is why I am pleased to bring you news about how your bra can save a life.

Or should I say, that people around the world will thank you for purchasing and wearing the Emergency Bra. Here is relevant information from their website:

“The Emergency Bra is a protective garment that can easily be transformed into two respiratory face masks in case of an emergency.

The Emergency Bra is an example of a public risk management tool that can provide a person with a critical time window that might be sufficient to escape from life threatening environments.”

It can reduce health consequences of accidents involving harmful airborne particles, such as those released by fire, explosion, terrorist, radiological, biological attack, and natural disasters.

It is important to understand that the Emergency Bra is first and foremost a beautiful piece of lingerie.

You can’t argue with safety. Don’t believe me, watch this video. So ladies please remember the next time a man asks you to remove your bra you it just might save your life and his.

Mnemonic–

Some of the math geeks might be familiar with the mnemonic devices surrounding Pi. Wolfram Mathworld has a collection called Pi Worldplay that are kind of cool. For example:

“How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics” The number of letters in each word relates to each of the first 15 digits in Pi (3.14159265358979).

Some other examples of mnemonics:

Order of taxonomy in biology:
(Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)
Kids Prefer Cheese Over Fried Green Spinach.

Order of geological time periods:
(Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene, Recent)
Cows Often Sit Down Carefully. Perhaps Their Joints Creak?
Persistent Early Oiling Might Prevent Painful Rheumatism.

I had one that I learned in school for remembering the planets

“My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.” That translated to Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Of course now the damn astronomers have screwed that up by saying that Pluto isn’t a planet. Damn them, next thing you know they’ll say that Goofy isn’t a dog.

And who can forget Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. What a lovely way to remember the order of operations:
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

If you have any that you wish to share please feel free to add them in the comments.

It has been a while since the fine folks at The Shack have been able to provide you with a product that you have to have. Today I am proud to announce that we have found one of the most innovative products that we have ever come across.

Let’s go to the tape for the full story about The Better Marriage Blanket.

Here at the Shack we are forever in search of useful information that our readers can use to improve their lives.

Having once been subject to vagaries and insults of cubicle life we are well aware that annoying people often populate the world around us.

We once sat near a person who thought that the proper way to speak on the telephone was to bellow, guffaw and shriek. That might be fine for a zoo, but the workplace wasn’t.

So we are pleased to share with you a link to the fine folks at Gizmodo who can provide complete instruction on how to build the fine crossbow in the adjoining illustration.

Had we known about this we might have chosen to use it to discourage the guffaws and shrieks coming from those cubicles around us.
