Is it ethical to transplant the brain of one gummy bear into the head of another?

I came across this on TechBargains, and I think it was put there more as a joke than anything.  Here is the description:

May I pour you some more bubbly, Sharksters? No? You’d prefer a wine cooler, perhaps? Great. Sip on that for a moment. Then let me divert your attention to the moon overhead. Beautiful, isn’t it? You see, every once in a blue moon, ChronoShark smiles upon our Automatic Watch enthusiasts. And what’s that overhead? That’s right, Sharksters. It’s a blue moon, and it’s beautiful.

Are you ready to take your watch collection to the next level? If you own multiple automatic watches and don’t have a multi-slot watch winder, you don’t know what you’ve been missing! An automatic watch winder keeps your watch perfectly wound and keeping time when you’re not wearing it! Founded in 1834 and still family-owned, Wolf Designs is the recognized leader in luxurious and advanced automatic watch rotators. Swiss movement engineering is what distinguishes Wolf Designs’ hand-crafted rotators as the ultimate way to preserve the time and date on your favorite automatic timepieces! Other watch winders may over or under-wind luxurious timepieces like Cartier, Baume Mercier, or Panerai. Why would anyone choose anything less than the patented technology of the industry leader? Today, ChronoShark is super-excited to offer an unprecedented deal on this brand-new and authentic Wolf Designs Module 2.0 three slot rotator!

A watch winder is a must-have accessory for people that don’t wear their automatic watch every day or for those with multiple automatic watches in their collection. Automatic watches operate using a self-winding mechanism which utilizes a moving weight within the watch case. The natural movement of the wearer’s wrist causes the weight to spin and the spring to be wound. Typically, when not worn for over a day, the power stored is depleted and the watch stops… which, of course, means you’ll need to reset the time the next time you want to wear it.

Watch winders work by rotating an inserted automatic watch in circular patterns mimicking natural human movements. This motion keeps your watch perfectly wound and keeping precise time! If you have more than one automatic watch, this watch winder will certainly be put to good use!

The Wolf Designs Module 2.0 Three Slot Rotator doesn’t just keep your watch perfectly wound, it also protects your watch from problems that other rotators may often cause. The winder incorporates a patented sleep cycle pattern to better simulate natural wear. This means that the watch will rotate for a total of 6 hours a day and ’sleep’ for 18 hours (a blinking LED indicates sleep mode). This critical sleep cycle allows the mainspring to unwind – the way it would with normal wear. The winder also utilizes a selectable delay timer to delay the start of winding by either 10 seconds or 12 hours, further ensuring that the mechanism inside your watch is not wound more than it should be. Regardless of the weight or size of your watch, it will rotate precisely 600 times per day (other rotators may over- or under-rotate light or heavy watches). This level of accuracy is provided by Wolf Designs’ proprietary integrated quartz-eye counter.

Renowned not just for their function, Wolf Designs winders are truly works of art that you will be proud to display in your home! The rotator features a rich black Genuine leather covered hardwood case with 3 rotators plus additional storage for 4 watches and a removable travel case for 1 more watch, making it the perfect storage solution for your growing collection. Nylon gears make this rotator super-quiet and its lovely design will enhance the decor of any room! The rotator is powered by either 110/220 AC power (works internationally) or with D cell batteries (battery life is approximately 4-6 months). Plus, the motor is shielded from electrical emissions. This absolutely critical feature ensures that your watch will not become magnetized!

The “sale price” was $450.  Apparently, “automatic watches” are watches that are powered through human movement, so this product mimics natural movement in order to maintain the state of the watch.  Sheesh

Drill Sergeant Joe B. Fricks Rules For A Gunfight

1. Forget about knives, bats and fists. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring four times the ammunition you think you could ever need.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammunition is cheap – life is expensive. If you shoot inside, buckshot is your friend. A new wall is cheap – funerals are expensive

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker and go to cover. Distance is your friend. (Bulletproof cover and diagonal or lateral movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a semi or full-automatic long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running. Yell “Fire!” Why “Fire”? Cops will come with the Fire Department, sirens often scare off the bad guys, or at least cause then to lose concentration and will…. and who is going to summon help if you yell “Intruder,” “Glock” or “Winchester?”

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Stretch the rules.  Always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work. “No battle plan ever survives 10 seconds past first contact with an enemy.”

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible, but remember, sheetrock walls and the like stop nothing but your pulse when bullets tear through them.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don’t drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. Practice reloading one-handed and off-hand shooting. That’s how you live if hit in your “good” side.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. Smiles, frowns and other facial expressions don’t (In God we trust. Everyone else keep your hands where I can see them.)

19. Decide NOW to always be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet if necessary, because they may want to kill you.

22. Be courteous to everyone, overly friendly to no one.

23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than “4″.

25. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket.” At a practice session, throw you gun into the mud, then make sure it still works. You can clean it later.

26. Practice shooting in the dark, with someone shouting at you, when out of breath, etc.

27. Regardless of whether justified of not, you will feel sad about killing another human being. It is better to be sad than to be room temperature.

28. The only thing you EVER say afterwards is, “He said he was going to kill me. I believed him. I’m sorry, Officer, but I’m very upset now. I can’t say anything more. Please speak with my attorney.”

Finally, Drill Sergeant Frick’s Rules For Un-armed Combat.

1. Never be unarmed.

Man’s genes ‘key to baby’s sex’

Finally, my Republican friends have been gushing about Tony Blair for years now – they didn’t have to live with his policies. I won’t have to live with Obama’s. So it’s time for some light revenge.
