Power off? Snowed in from a blizzard? Not to worry. A company is now advertising gourmet survival meals. Not only are these meals designed with a shelf life of several years, they are also gourmet. Why eat dried beans and rice when you can feast on gourmet meals.

Is It Really Egyptian Cotton?
A major store chain is pulling their Egyptian Cotton products because they discovered that it really isn’t Egyptian Cotton. Unfortunately, I suspect that most people can’t tell the difference.
Too Life Like For Some People.
This is a sculpture and not real people. However, it is so realistic that we had to watch them for several minutes just to make sure they weren’t actors. Regardless, it is causing some controversy as an Art Prize entry. Personally, I think that it is a fantastic work of art.
