Another hilarious car mod production truck

I was going to add another auto-mod to my list of cars that make me laugh all the way home but I can't because this is far worse. At the same intersection where I saw the spinning rims on a ford windstar I saw a huge bright orange pickup with an even larger spoiler wing on the back, and a ridiculous hood scoop on the front. It looked so dumb and pointless that I laughed all the way home. Now you have a pickup truck with mod that renders it useless, and a fake pig nose on front.

Not knowing that you could even buy such a stupid thing as a spoiler for your pickup truck I did some googling and found out that this was not a mod. It is in fact a $32,000 "Dodge Ram Daytona" pickup truck that has a whole bunch of NASCAR tie-ins and such. There is a whole subculture who likes this bit of marketing buffoonery.

America can be is a silly place...

Now you have expensive new rims AND a less valuable car. Congratulations.

"Infrawave Speed Oven"

This is funny. So I bought a toaster oven for our apartment because it took the place of the toaster and a microwave and I have really grown to love it. It warms up food slower than a microwave but it cooks it again eliminating that sloppy and uneven feeling that microwaving gives food. It is less convent however.

It works by having two electric heating elements turn on and off keeping it at your desired temperature.

So I am reading today Wired Magazine's "Test" feature and under household items the Black & Decker Infrawave Speed Oven took first prize. Here is the description:

Smaller than a microwave and more versatile than a toaster, B&D’s unconventional hottie uses infrared light to cook meals on the countertop. Its two heating elements cycle on and off, employing varying wavelengths to bake, broil, or roast your chow in up to half the time it would take in a full-size gas or electic oven.

Yay! My $4 toaster oven is household gizmo of the year. Sure I don't have an LCD panel, and this cooks with light bulbs (hmmmmm)but it costs $150. What is old is new.
