With the apocalypse fast approaching, it’s obviously time to cash in. So it is with great fanfare that a new catalogue landed on our doorstop this morning, and for once it wasn’t for ‘Wizzy Kebabs’. Nope, because this is the time of year that the cheery optimists over at American Bomb Shelter have a sale!
Seems Obama’s positive attitude hasn’t convinced some people (Especially now that Putin has proved he can kill a tiger in a wrestling match), so home shelters are big business again. So it’s heartening to see that just $16,000 (about £3.27p) will net you:
All of the precision manufactured steel parts
All of the pre-cut and shaped rebar, including enough for one riser
A single blast hatch for that riser
Two 8-foot ladder sections for a 16-foot ladder
An ASR-100N-NBC Safe Cell air filtration/ventilation system
Two blast valves (one each for the air intake and exhaust pipes)
One overpressure valve
Free telephone technical support
And free delivery too!

Always quick to link to our own content, we at ES would remind readers that we recently tried not to trivialise the ominous goings on in the middle east right now. However it seems we needn’t have worried, as someone else has done it for us! As if hacking into your I.P and using it as a pro-Israeli platform wasn’t enough, seems that Facebook is fast becoming the next front in the cyberwar battleplan. Palestinian forces are using the social networks to rally groups of young people to the cause, with money raising events as well as propoganda and links to groups like the Red Crescent Society. Now having used Facebook, I can confidently state that it cant even get the Piccadilly tube line to stop nearer my house, let alone change the outcome of a war, but it does raise a freaky precedent, and if you can ally yourself with active combat units, surely it won’t be long before you can turn informant on your friends too. Man, you’d never get this on LiveJournal.

Nobody likes cancer (except possibly thrash bands who are stuck for a name), basically its the biggest dick at nature’s party, which is why we’re all glad to hear that someone has finally decide to cure it. Well, when I say cure, I actually mean “Blow the shit out of” which if anything is even better- good work then Balaji Panchapakesan of the University of Delaware (Hi…we’re in Delaware…), who has the fantastic idea of injecting nanotubes into tumours, and then blowing them up! According to the good doctor:
“The exploding nanotubes could be made to target tumours by labelling them with an antibody specific to the cancer cell receptors, and adding a chemotherapy drug to the water could wipe out any cells that survive or escape a blast.”
While I’m sure there are other, more nefarious uses for being able to explode people on a cellular level, this all looks promising, and hopefully will lead to healthy boobs and balls all round in the near future.
