Feb 16 2010Plus You Look Cool: Supine Reading Glasses
I'm pretty sure these $50 Supine Reading Glasses have been around for awhile because I remember using them to look up girls' skirts while breakdancing, but here they are, just in case you didn't know they existed. Think of them as periscopes. Really dorky-ass periscopes you wear to bed. Booboobooboop -- booboobooboop.
Reading while lying down tends to involve propping your head up with uncomfortable pillow arrangements, often with your neck bent in angles that will result in a moderate amount of pain the following day. These reading glasses bend light 90º to save you that trouble.
Not to brag or anything, but did you know one time I strong-armed light and bent it 365º? Because I did. Sure it created a worm-hole and swallowed my neighbor's cat, but NO, FOR THE LAST TIME I SWEAR TO GOD THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED I DID NOT BACK OVER HIM (what kind of animal falls asleep behind a f***ing tire?!).

yeah, these are at least 30 years old. My dad had a set when I was a kid, he tried them once and threw them in a drawer. My sister and I used to play with them.

@10 So is it true? Did GW give Ice-T his name during the filming? I know he gave him Coco, some tips on being gangsta, and his watch (for some reason)...but if he actually dubbed him Ice-T (for T-rex), that'd be suhweeeet!

This isn't a new invention, I have a pair from 1951, they're called "Recline-O-Specs". They're made out of Bakelite, they weigh about a million pounds, and you look like a complete tool when you wear them.

Wear those and have little mirrors on your shoes. look up girls' skirts without breakdancing.
