Have a hard time deciding?

Decision Maker by OVO
Ever had a hard time deciding which direction to go, or should I, or shouldn't I? Well this watch will do the deciding for you. It is equipped with several functions that can point you in the right direction or make decisions for you. 3 LED lights flash on the side when functions are selected and all kinds of beeps and screen savers are displayed. I have personally played with this watch for almost 2 hours and there are still new displays coming up. Push both buttons at the same time when in time mode and the time display goes all wacky in un-countless ways. The numbers blur, shake across the screen, go up and down like waves. It has a virus scan, ram, CPU, memory screen displays. I think I will stop here and let you find out the rest for yourself. The sound can be turned off too, so you won't irritate everyone around you. Well worth the $39.00 just for the fun.

Daily Show viewers smarter than O'Reilly Factor viewer
Cory Doctorow: Bill O'Reilly interviewed Jon Stewart of the Daily Show and called Daily Show watchers a bunch of "stoned slackers." It turns out that Stewart's audience is better-educated and better-informed that O'Reilly Factor viewers (surprise, surprise!).

Bathtub from the East
Supposed to insulate a steaming hot bath for up to six hours. Ok fine, I just wanted to post the pic of the random bathtub mascot. 
For anyone who doesn't know...
Fullmetal Alchemist
"In this world, there exist people with special abilities to manipulate objects and transform those objects into other objects. These people are known as alchemist. However, this manipulation process does not come without cost, as the basic alchemy rules stated that something with equivalent cost is needed to perform the manipulation.
"The main character is a famous alchemist named Edward Elric, who loses his little brother Alphonse in an accident. Edward manages to contain his brother's soul in a large piece of armor suit. However, merging the soul and body of the dearly departed comes with great cost, so the two brothers must embark on a journey to find a mysterious power amplifier which can reduce the cost to manipulate objects greatly."

For all of you Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo fans
Mugen-Anime is fan-subbing, VERY well I might add. The manga is out there somewhere, I know because I downloaded it, but I lost track of the site because the translating was stopped.
