It’s the perfect synthesis between male thinking and female thinking.  Women love scented candles.  I witnessed this today, in fact.  One of the people at my workplace came in with a bunch of scented candles her son was selling through school, and she spent a good 20 minutes this morning not only smelling ALL the candles, but also distributing them to all the other women in the office who ALSO took turns smelling all the candles.  (I only got to smell one, but that’s beside the point.)   And what do men love?  Bacon, duh!  Everyone loves bacon.  So split the difference with your sweetie and settle on bacon-scented candles!

Not only do the Sizzling Bacon candles from Sweet Soaps smell like bacon, they also crackle like bacon.  So you get the smell and the sound of deliciousness whenever you light up a wick, without any of the calories or clogged arteries associated with nature’s most delicious animal, the pig!  They also have bacon soap!  Just listen to that hot bacony candle goodness!

Even if bacon isn’t your thing, they also have Christmas-themed holiday candles, gold soaps, and all kinds of other custom goodies, so they’re worth an examination. They really treat soap as an art form, and they put out some really impressive work.

There are Apple fans and there are Apple fans.  For instance, when an Apple fanatic and food blogger Ken at The Cooks’ Den wanted to pay tribute to Macintosh’s head cheese he did what came natural.  He put his foodie skills to good use and made a bust of Steve Jobs out of cheese!  He […]

For one Mt. Washington, Pennsylvania, resident, it was the weirdest night of his life.  For Michael Karanja Kamau, it was just a really cold, drunk night.  Police say the 33-year-old Kamau, from nearby Cranberry, broke into someone’s apartment and, in an attempt to get warm, crawled into bed with a strange man.  The sleeping man, […]

If you’ve ever watched professional wrestling, you know one thing intimately well.  at some point in the evening, a wrestler will roll out of the ring, shove the ring announcer or some other ringside official aside, and grab a metal folding chair.  He may just menace his opponent with it, but oftentimes someone’s gonna get […]

If you want to feel ashamed of yourself, then I suggest you read this story about parachute-jumping, bomb-sniffing, special forces dogs.  Seriously, these dogs are more accomplished than anyone I know, and they doesn’t even have thumbs!  The dogs earned theirwings as part of Operation Cold Response, Europe’s biggest war games operation in Norway.  The […]

For years, frogs have been held up as a prime example of what can happen to a species when its environment was polluted.  Frogs with no legs, frogs with extra legs, frogs with all manner of deformities were plucked from ponds and held up as examples:  “See?  This is why we need to clean up […]

Farmer Ken Jones knew something was wrong when his pregnant ewe, Daisy, kept getting bigger and bigger.  He assumed, reasonably, that she was carrying twins, or maybe even triplets.  While she was carrying three times the baby, it wasn’t multiples.  Instead, Daisy gave birth to a single lamb that was three times the size of […]
