I’ve seen lots of pictures of gigantic hamburgers in my time, but hardly any additional information. What luck that Ryan from Mouthpiece Sports Blog had the chance to interview somebody who managed to eat a 9KG hamburger.

…I cut pieces off of it. I started with taking the top bun off and ate the toppings off the bun, so that I could use it to dip the meat if I felt like it. Then, I started to cut wedges off of the patty and I’d eat them — that included the cheese of course. And after I got done with that, I moved on to the debris of the patty as well as the onions and lettuce and all that stuff on the bottom of the bun…

Makes me feel sick just reading about it. Clicky to check it out.

My fascination with cool clocks continues. This time though I think I’ve found the coolest ever made. Only available in Japan, the Gun O’ Clock is exactly as the name suggests - you have to shoot the alarm (no, not with a coil gun) to turn the thing off.

Best of all it scores your accuracy and even comes with a “hard mode” which means 5 shots in a row. From who else but Bandai (and a broken engrish google translation here).

This I don’t know what to say WTF!

TIJUANA, Mexico - The police department has issued about 60 slingshots to officers in the violent border city of Tijuana, where soldiers confiscated police weapons two weeks ago on allegations of collusion with drug traffickers. Municipal police spokesman Fernando Bojorquez said Monday that the slingshots, along with bags of ballbearings, were given to officers patrolling areas of the city visited by tourists. Tijuana’s police force of 2,000 officers has been without guns since Jan. 5, but some patrol alongside armed state police.

I’d never heard of this before tonight but it’s certainly interesting, I’ll quote wikipedia:

Polybius is a supposed arcade game featured in an Internet urban legend. According to the story, the Tempest-style game was released to the public in 1981, and caused its players to go insane, causing them to suffer from intense stress and horrific nightmares. A short time after its release, it supposedly disappeared without a trace. No evidence for the existence of a game, other than the ROMS (see below), has ever been discovered.

You can read the article from wikipedia here, and I’ve even found a playable reproduction of the game here.

Please sign this petition for a worthy cause, to save the memory of video games from being destroyed by horrible movie renditions. I quote from If It’s Movies:

Uwe Boll, one of the worst filmmakers in the world, has given the world an opportunity of a lifetime. Boll said he would retire from making movies if enough people signed this petition asking that he stop. So far, there are 18,000 signatures on the petition, and this is what Boll had to say in response:

“18,000 is not enough to convince me.” “One million. Now we have a new goal.”

I signed it, it’s interesting to refresh the list of signatures, at this rate it seems to be about one signature every three four seconds.. but a million? Click here to sign.

I’ve just found a hilarious list of self defence gadgets from cracked.com. Here’s one of my favorites:

#6.Romatron Personal Protection Keychain

Grab your keys and hit yourself in the face with them. Hurts, doesn’t it? That is the awesome might of The Romatron. But wait, The Romatron comes with a Polymer Ball on a Steel Cable! Doesn’t seem like much? Here’s an excerpt from the FAQ:

“Won’t using this against an attacker just make him mad?”
“No, hitting someone with a romatron will disable him, just as if you hit them with a baseball bat.”

They also boast that, “Romatron is taught as part of Kuden Jutsu, a martial art recognized by the World Karate Organization,” and we believe them. Jackie Chan could probably take out a whole bar full of guys armed with nothing but this thing. But let’s face it, once you’ve grown bad-ass enough that you can take out a guy with your car keys and a rubber chew toy, you can pretty much use whatever happens to be laying around and don’t need to make a special purchase.
