God Love Bavarian Motor Works

BMW Authorities Vehicles

Not that I needed any reassurance of the fact, but I thought it fair to remind all of you that the BMW 5 series is the greatest car ever devised by man. Yes, that is in fact a gun rack built into the rear armrest:

The bracket is electromagnetically locked and is opened from the front seats using a switch. The firearm moves forward automatically, therefore easy for the driver and passenger to reach.
And what gun is it designed for you ask? Why the Heckler and Koch MP5 of course (the BMW of assault rifles, one might say). Leave it to the Germans to quietly maintain their war R&D into the 21st century. Deutschland Über Alles!

Moment of Zen: Britney Spears/Pregnancy

From The Superficial:
If I was pregnant and had giant pregnant-boobs I wouldn't wear a bra either. Or a shirt. Or pants. Or any clothes at all. I'd just walk around naked, occasionally squirting people with milk and screaming, "The miracle of life! The miracle of life!!"

"Some say his skin has the texture of a dolphin's, and that wherever you are in the world if you tune your radio to 88.4 you can actually hear his thoughts." --Hammond

A Brand New Dental Sensation

So Eric has written a lovely post, unsolicited product endorsement, where he describes the joy that is the new Oral B Pulsar. So cool is this toothbrush in fact, it has it's own (no joke) stylized television commercial. UPDATE: Last night after work, I popped in to my convenient 24/7 Safeway on the way from work and bought the toothbrush. In order to shatter any scientific validity to my experiment, I also picked up some shiny new 'whitening' toothpaste. It's all fabulous, spectacular even. I've been converted; I will now spend as exorbitant an amount cleaning my teeth as I already do on shaving my face.

Buy Brian Eno's synthesizer From Boing Boing: Anyone interested in the sound that made Windows 95? Brian Eno is selling some of his old music gear. Get the details from this post on Music Thing

Malt of the future

"Can I get a shake, half Oreo™, half cookie dough, a little peanut butter, with extra malt powder, extra thick?"

"Oh yea and a banana."

Moment of Zen: Toby Ziegler / West Wing

"He's tough on crime he's fair on justice. That's the line, say that...Do not say that. He's tough on crime he's fair on justice, what is that? Sings a song, wears a moustache?"
