Five Real Superpowers People Can Have
Posted by Jimm in Weird News on July 9th, 2010
When I was younger, I really liked Superheroes, like Superman, Batman, Wolverine, and Spider-man. I always thought it would be great if there really were people with extraordinary powers. These aren’t supernatural powers – like seeing dead people – but actual genetic abnormalities that real people can have. Some of them are rare if you have one of these, you probably are a mutant just like your friends say you are. Are they a blessing or a curse? That’s up to you to decide. Full Story »

Will It Blend? Five Things Destroyed In A Blender
Posted by Jimm Fowler in Weird News on April 6th, 2010
I love the BlendTec Blender online commercials. They take cool gadgets and items and put them in their blender to show consumers how tough their blender really is. This company actually takes requests on what to blend. They figure if they can blend these items, you won’t have a problem with a few ice cubes while making your favorite smoothie. Sure, the commercials are hokey, but it is fun to see the destruction. Kids, don’t try this at home! Note that the guy is wearing protective goggles and oftentimes says, “You don’t want to breathe this in!” There’s a reason for that. Nonetheless, there are copies of this type of ad all over the internet of things that should never be blended. Here are five of my favorites that the company has mixed up and puree’d.
