Design Me a Way to Solve My Problems

Wheel It Home:

These little combination vice clamps and plastic wheels look to be an ingenious way of transporting an item that is too large or awkward to carry by yourself over long distances.

At $39 these seems like a good value to me.  Unfortunately, they ship from Israel, which adds and extra $25 for a total of $64 for one set of two with a carrying bag that both fit inside.  Still, I'm tempted.

I May Stop Paying My Taxes:

The Centers for Disease Control have found a new way to waste the taxpayer's money, behold the zombie preparedness post:


I wish this were a joke but the full blog post is really here on the CDC's site.

Rapture My Ass:

No signs of earthquakes yet you crazy Christians.  I hope none of your friends or family let you live down the shame of believing that you would be zapped away to some invisible kingdom in the sky.

    Great idea, but overpriced. Should be like ~$10 each.

    If it catches on some American company will "redesign" it and say it's better for our economy to buy stuff made here. It's happened before.

    pretty smart but certain objects will be too heavy to function comfortably on those wheels

    1) those wheels look awesome!

    2) the CDC spent all of 1 hour on that and it was totally worth it ;)

    I love the one man transport kit, the zombie thing is just plain stupid. Proves that if the government does not need to make a profit, or stay out of debt for that matter, it will waste money on anything and everything. ALSO, just because some crazy nut bag who CLAIMS to be christian (because if you claim to know stuff from the Bible that the Bible says NOBODY knows, they are a false profet, or a LIAR) then that gives all the real christians a bad name. that BUTT NUGET was NOT christian by the standards of the book he claims to live by.

    haha, fun to let off some steam sometimes.
