Urban Myth Game contains massive redonkadankness

We wanted to game, a board game, a board game that wasn’t just moving pieces because the dice said “you now move (: .)…etc

Urban Myth was the game, we have no idea what we were in for…Thank you Wal-Mart

Here we go: All of the following are TRUE 

Prostitution is legal in Denmark, but it is illegal to “walk like a prostitute”.  I immediately took note to stay away from Denmark, for I have been know to “walk like a prostitute”, again thank you Wal-mart.

The State Of Michigan threatened to fine a colony of beavers a whopping $10,000 for failing to remove their dam.  How many beavers do you know that just has $10,000 layin around?  I know not one.

Unknown investors made millions of dollars by short selling stock in the United and American airlines in the days leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US.  Doesn’t that seem a little funny? There are too many facts and “strange things” surrounding 9/11 to overlook.  Don’t believe everything you hear, big brother isn’t who you think he is, you will see what I mean in the future when everybody looks back on “the Bush Days” and says oops, I cant believe we fell for that shit, its already happening everywhere.   Did you vote for him thinking he was going to help “save the world”? Now look at the garbage he put us all through and tell me he has been a “great president”  I’m astonished there are still people out there thinking he has done a “great job”.  BLIND SHEEP, open your eyes, its all right in front of you.

A beaver’s right to build a dam is enshrined in Connecticut state law.

Caucasians in Brazil were died blue before being executed to conform with laws prohibiting killing “white people”.  Gotta love human nature, there’s a loop hole for everything right? hmmm

It is illegal to “kill or threaten” a butterfly in Pacific Grove, Ca.  Watch what you say to those lil buggers, you could find yourself with some issues very fast.

A Tennessee court sentenced a 5 ton elephant to “hang by the neck until dead” for killing her keeper.  I think its only fair, an eye for an eye right? Do you think the elephant really premeditated the murder, wow.

Ya know that state Oklahoma?  Yea, the one that is completely land-locked? Well, It is illegal to hunt whales in land locked Oklahoma. Put away the spear guns and get back to livin in Oklahoma.

Oh and while we are talkin about Oklahoma, An Oklahoma City rapist was sentenced to 30,000 years behind bars – the longest sentence ever given to a prisoner.  Talk about punishment, yes the guy deserved to be punished, but i’d hate to be in that guys predicament.  Must be tough being in jail for 30 millenniums.

I think this game is ridiculous, there are way too many variables and countless ways to use the wide spread vocabulary we’ve created for contorting the truth.  That is opinion on the boardgame Urban Myth.

Oh where oh where are my Heineken World Bottles

If only the world bottle had been invented fifty years later, or someone had been paying attention. Why do beer bottles have the be designed for only one purpose. Although I must say the original purpose is not a bad one, but with a world so set on multi-tasking, why not also multi-task with our beer bottles.

According to data collected in 2004, each year 128.9 beer bottles are consumed per capita in the United States alone. The Heineken World Bottle made it possible to drink a finely brewed beverage while also collecting building materials. What a concept, I believe these green Heineken Bottles could green the world up a bit.

Here is a little History from Wikidepdia:

The Heineken WOBO (World Bottle)

As the story goes, Alfred Heineken had an epiphany while on a world tour of Heineken factories. When Heineken was on the Caribbean island of Curacao in 1960 he saw many bottles littering the beach because the island had no economic means of returning the bottles to the bottling plants from which they had come. He was also concerned with the lack of affordable building materials and the inadequate living conditions plaguing Curacao’s lower-class. Envisioning a solution for these problems, he found a dutch architect John Habraken to design what he called “a brink that holds beer.”

Over the next three years, the Heineken WOBO went through a design process. Some of the early designs were of interlocking and self-aligning bottles. The idea sprung from the belief that the need for mortar would add complexity and expense to the bottle wall’s simplicity and affordability. Some designs proved to be effective building materials but too heavy and slow-forming to be economically produced. Other designs were rejected by Heineken based on aesthetic preferences. In the end, the bottle that was selected was a compromise between the previous designs.

The bottle was designed to be interlocking, laid horizontally and bonded with cement mortar with a silicon additive. A 10 ft x 10 ft shack would take approximately 1,000 bottles to build. In 1963, 100,000 WOBO’s were produced in two sizes, 350 and 500 mm. This size difference was necessary in order to bond the bottles when building a wall, in the same way as a half brick is necessary when building with bricks. Unfortunately most of them are destroyed and no bottles are left. They are very rare and become a collectors item.

Only two WOBO structures exist and they are both on the Heineken estate in Noordwijk, near Amsterdam. The first was a small shed which had a corrugated iron roof and timber supports where the builder could not work out how to resolve the junction between necks and bases running in the same direction. Later, a timber double garage was renovated with WOBO siding. Alfred Heineken did not develop the WOBO concept further and the idea never got a chance to materialize.

Pacman Frogs gets his home renovated…

Seamore, our mouse eating blob of a frog, has been not so hungry lately. He has been spending most of his days buried under his dirt, and when we give him a mouse he’s not interested. He’s even let one climb all over him. What kinda man eating frog is he? Obviously a lazy one…

We came to the conclusion that his laziness is because he wanted his tank remodeled. He wanted some new decoration to give him the will to do more then just sit still.

We found that pets shops charge *HUGE* sums of money for plastics deorations for our man Seamore’s tanks.

Hence we become inventive, and took the remodle into our own hands. DIY style all the way.

We headed to our local Big Box Corporations, for great deals on renovating the frog tank.

We purchase:

1. Bag o’ Medium Size Stones
2. Dried Lotus Flowers
3. Fake Plastic fern
4. Fake Plastic Leaf

Total: about $7 bucks

You too can make an awesome tank for your little critter.

Here’s how we went about it…

Seamore’s Original home… we just upgraded the tank size, it sure seems a bit empty.

First we make a Zen garden pathway… With all that killing he does we figured that he could use some Zen in his life

The Zen pathway leads to his fern enclosure, perfect for hiding waiting to chomp down on some poor little mouse.

The newly renovated tank features include a Zen garden lined dried lotus flowers, fake ferns and bamboo palm trees. This wonderful renovation was all done for under $10!

Hopefully this new style cage will pump a little motivation into our frogman Seamore.

And then you Drink the Wheatgrass…

You may ask, “Why would I want to drink that crazy green liquid?”

Well the short answer, “Because I said so.”

No really, because it’s super good for you!

Consumption of wheatgrass for health benefits for came to the Western world in 1930 by Charles Schnable. Because of wheatgrass’s relative newness in the United States, very few scientific studies have been done to prove the effects of wheatgrass.

So what are the benefits?

• It has been stated that one ounce of juiced wheatgrass is equal to 2.2 pounds of other vegetables
• Wheatgrass is a great source of chlorophyll
  • Chlorophyll has been shown to be purifying, anti-inflammatory, and nourishing
  • Chlorophyll is almost identical to hemoglobin, therefore it is thought that it help to build blood in the body
  • Chlorophyll helps to improve tissue oxygenation
• Improve the digestive system health
• Prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disease
• Cure constipation
• Detoxify heavy metals from the bloodstream
• Cleanse the liver
• Increase energy levels
  • Wheatgrass has superior levels of vitimin B12
  • Most vegtables do not contain any B12
• Provides a general feeling of well-being
• Shown to be high in minerals
  • It is able to pick up nearly all the mineral in the soil
• The most amazing claim of wheatgrass is that it is a “complete foods” which contains all other essential dietary nutrients, along with the enzymes to help assimilate them!

When growing your own wheatgrass it is ideal to grow it to a height of 8 to 10 inches

At that point it ready for consumption, simlpy cut the amount you want to injest.

Generally you want to start out slow with just one ounce of wheatgrass, it is so healthy for you that your body is not sure how to handle it. Gradually you can consume up to four ounces of wheatgrass a day.

The next step is the juicing the wheatgrass…

You do not want to use the traditional electronic juicers, as they are not able to get the most out of the grass. The auger style juicers are better bets. We chose the manual version, so we are able to enjoy our wheatgrass without using any energy.

The last step is to enjoy the wheatgrass

Cheers! Good Health to you!
