When someone does you wrong, don’t get mad, send them poop!

That’s right, poop. With all the creative startups out there, along comes Poopsenders.com which actually mails poop to the person of your choice. You have to admit it’s quite ingenious but at the same time a bit disturbing.  Poop can be sent by the quart or gallon and the choices are Cow Dung, Elephant crap, or Gorilla Poop.

Each package contains a business card right in the poop which reads:
“YOU’VE BEEN POOPED ON. WANT TO KNOW BY WHOM? [OVER]“

When they see the front of the card they will have to open the bag releasing the nasty aroma and dig it out of the poop only to find this on the back
“WE’LL NEVER TELL. WWW.POOPSENDERS.COM” Very clever.

I can’t really tell if the prices are reasonable or not since there is nothing really to compare it to. However, if you compare it to actually going out and collecting and shiping the poop yourself, it’s VERY REASONABLE!

An important element of any business are the testimonials. Here are some from the Poopsenders.com site:

We have a neighbor that lives across the street who walks his dog and lets it crap all over everybody else’s yard even those who don’t have a dog like me. I decided to give him a dose of his own medicine and sent him the big bag of elephant crap. About 5 days after I ordered it my wife saw the bright yellow truck stop at their house with a delivery in the early afternoon. When I was home cutting the grass later that day I saw him come home from work, about 5 minutes later I saw him come back out of the house with a disgusted look on his face and a big bag of crap in his hand headed for the garbage cans. Mission accomplished. The best part is it sat in their house all afternoon while his wife was probably wondering what it could be. Great! Great! Great!

I sent my ex-boyfriend a pile of cow dung about 3 weeks ago and last week one of this friends came up to me in a club and told me about it and asked if it was me who sent it. I said that’s sick and no it wasn’t me. I asked if he was mad and his friend said he’s really pissed off and it’s driving him nuts trying to find out who sent it, he’s going around accusing everyone. He’s pissed off and going nuts accusing friends, you could say that’s like a two for one sale. FANTASTIC!

I have two idiot neighbors across the street they’re both such idiots that they don’t even like each other. I couldn’t decide which one to send a poop package to so I sent them both one. I hope they think that they sent them to each other. Let them fight it out. Love your service.

Mmm, fresh bacon breath

Toothpaste has been around for thousands of years. It is thought that the Egyptians used a paste to clean their teeth as far back as 5000BC. The Romans and Greeks improved the formula by adding crushed bones and oyster shells to the paste for more abrasiveness. The more modern toothpastes were flavored with peppermint, mint, and spearmint. Other flavors were later added, cinnamon, orange, etc.

Until now, there have not been any good meat flavored toothpaste. Get ready to fire up that toothbrush with some bacon sizzled toothpaste. From the pan to your pearly whites. Perfect for a first date or any important occasion. Here is the product description on Archie McPhee:

Brushing your teeth with a strip of fried bacon is tricky. If it’s too crisp it will break apart as you brush and if it’s too limp you won’t be able to remove any of the plaque. So when it’s time to brush your teeth, leave the bacon strips for breakfast and try this Bacon Toothpaste. It’s the perfect way to keep your teeth and gums healthy while coating your mouth with the delicious flavor of smoky meat!

Who hasn’t tried brushing their teeth with bacon. I once tried raw chicken but that also proved very tricky. In a pinch you could always use soap or dirt from the bottom of your shoes. If the above description doesn’t have you whipping out your credit card, I can’t imagine what would. Doesn’t everyone clamor for the the delicious flavor of smoky meat on their breath?

For some strange reason, Pickle toothpaste seems more palatable. Maybe not in the general sense but compared to the Bacon toothpaste, it may prove a better choice. Of course Cupcake toothpaste would seem like cracking open one of those store bought frosting and brushing away. It’s probably less expensive as well.

Archie McPhee sells the tantalizing toothpastes on their web site. I love their tagline – “Slightly less disappointing than other companies.” Now that’s my kind of company!

Star Wars Adidas Collection

Attention geeks everywhere!

Check the new Adidas Star Wars Collection. Now you can dress up that Darth Vader costume with the real deal – official Adidas Star Wars shoes. You will be the envy of the neighborhood. Imagine the possibilites … Dressing up like Chewbacca and donning a pair of Stormtrooper specials. Pretty slick, indeed.

When I first saw this collection, I almost thought I had been punked. I checked the URL and sure enough it was Adidas.com. Growing up watching the first Star Wars movies, I imagined that in 2010 we would be zooming around in flying machines circling monstrous buildings. Although that didn’t happen, the Official Adidas Star Wars collection did. My questions is, “Why did it take 33 years?”

Control a helicopter from your iPhone? Yep, there’s an app for that!

Four years of research and development went into building the Parrot AR Drone quadricopter. The AR Drone generates it’s own WiFi network which allows an iPhone or iTouch to connect and uses the built in accelerometer for control. It also features two onboard cameras which can viewed on your iPhone.

There is an autopilot feature which allows easy take offs and landings. The first question I had was “What happens if WiFi signal is lost?” In the event the WiFi signal is lost – part of the autopilot feature – the AR Drone will take over and stabilize and land the craft safely. Because it’s powered by Lithium-ion Polymer batteries, the AR Drone can fly for roughly 15 minutes.
