May 12 2008 Treadmill Bike Makes My Head Explode
Similar to last week's Naturmobil, the Treadmill Bike is half treadmill, half bicycle, and half ridamndiculous. The logic behind it made my head explode. Now my brain is exposed and one of the cats is licking it. Apparently the bike has been out for awhile, but since I have a penchant for the old, and I don't think it has been posted here before, KA-BOOM!, here it blows. Not much to say except I can't believe that guy is actually wearing a helmet -- the damn thing has a top speed of like 2.5 MPH (and that's if you're running like you want to have a heart attack). Horribly energy inefficient, the bike is also inefficiently priced at about $2,500. But can you really put a price on being the stupidest looking cyclist on the streets? Yes, $2,500.

Apr 21 2008 Buried Red Sox Jersey For Sale On eBay
If you haven't already heard, the David Ortiz jersey that some asshat buried under Yankee stadium in an attempt to curse the team is for sale on eBay. It's currently at a whopping $70,200 with a little under 3 days to go. The good part about the auction is that 100% of the proceeds will go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. So that's heartwarming. And no, I did not call the Red Sox fan that buried the jersey an asshat because I'm a Yankees fan. I have no team preference. The only thing I care about is getting to third base (I have yet to score a run). Just a heads up though for any of you thinking about cursing something in the future -- don't tell anybody about it. Hexes, curses, magic spells, masturbating, and cheating on your girlfriend always work best when no one else knows what's going on.
Thanks to Stav, who is smart enough to keep his curses to himself, for the tip
