Don't leave home without it

No Sh*t Sure Lock
In this gritty but hilarious three-minute parody of a Home Depot commercial, we learn a new meaning to that old phrase. Uh, so I guess her number is two?

(Prince) Charles in Charge
Speaking of great photos, thanks to the miracle of the camera shutter for this one. A shot like this just doesn't come along every day.

Mighty pen
"Very good if you need to write on paper," a thoughtful and thorough Amazon customer review of the Bic Crystal medium-point, black ballpoint pen. The comments are pretty tongue-in-cheek funny as well.

Big book
According to Guinness World Records, at over five by seven feet (and 133 pounds), this staggeringly beautiful photographic book is the largest published book in the world. That works out to a little over $100 a pound, and in that "light" it sounds like kind of a bargain.

Tidbyte: Apparently there will be no Nativity Scene in the Washington D.C. this Christmas season. No, it's not a matter of separation of Church and State -- they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in our nation's capitol. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable. (Thanks rasric)
