It’s been a hard days night? Better keep it fresh!


keep it fresh!

keep it fresh!

I’ve seen many cool animals back in my day… but these two belong in a league of their own. Just watch this picture closely and tell me if those aren’t the coolest seals this side of the south pole! I don’t know what’s with animals that makes them so insanely cool, but I’m certainly groovin’ to see those little huge critters chillin’. This picture really made my day!

All that you (possibly might have) wanted to know about the Light Saber!


Ahh… the lightsaber. That wonderful piece of imaginary technology, which allows people from the Star Wars universe (most notably Jedi or Sith people, but also the ocasional racketeer), to slice and dice inanimate and animate objects alike, much to their heart’s contentment. Is there somebody who was suceeded in watching a movie in the Star Wars cinematographic epic without ever once nurturing the secret (or not so secret) desire to hack away at the surrouding reality with one of these in-lightened science-fictional weapons? I think not.

So just in case you ever wonder (and also because I think it’s a cool picture and I want to immortalize it in my little corner of cyberspace where I at least can easily retrieve it whenever I feel like doing so), here is the amazing selection of lightsabers which got used by the main characters in the Star Wars saga:

Cool designer’s table could chop your fingers… or your vegetables!


Everyone who’s into designer’s furtinure will absolutely love this innovative table concept. I, for one think it’s really ingenious and classy, and I’m wondering if it could be used to chop some vegetables. I mean, just notice when it closes off, those joints put off quite the snap. I suppose this is one of those situations when a piece of furniture is just too effective for its own good; what do you think?

A tasty paradise: All you ever wanted to know about gummies!


If you’re anything like me, then you’re a real fan of gummi bears. However, if you’re really like me, then you have wondered at some point in your life how do they make such a cool, jelly-like candy. Well, wonder no more, because I just dug up this handy procedure, courtesy of www.candyusa.org. Read ahead, and wonder no more!

such a tasty horde...

such a tasty horde...

“Artists start with a character sketch and then carve it into tiny plaster molds. Then, machines duplicate the molds. The duplicates are run through a starch powder machine to produce starch powder mold pans.

In the factory, candy makers pour ingredients into large boilers. Some of the ingredients include gelatin, sugar and glucose syrup. The ingredients are heated together and constantly stirred by large paddles. Colors and flavorings are added to give the gummi snacks their distinct look and taste. Next, pipes transfer the mixture to the production area.

Nozzles are used to squeeze the mix on to the starch boards where it is left for three to five days. Afterwards, beeswax is added to make the candy shiny and less sticky. The gummi candies are finally moved to a packaging machine and are ready to ship. ”

Kind of takes the magic away, doesn’t it? Personally, I prefer to believe they’re fashioned by Granni Bear, with secret ingredients from the woods and just a hint of gummiberry juice! ;)

ps. according to the websitewhere I’ve read all the information above, red gummies are the most popular kind. Would you concur? I’m actually more into orange gummies myself.
