Squirrel Gone Wild

*like the PSP commercial* Squirrel, please! Full article here.

Quick Summary:

• A squirrel ran into a house in Passau, a town in Germany, where he attacked a 70-year-old woman, biting her hand.
• The woman ran into the street in fear with the squirrel still biting her hand. She managed to fling it off.
• The animal then entered a building site where it leapt onto a construction worker who fought the creature off with a measuring pole.
• The squirrel then entered the garden of a 72-year-old man and attacked.
• The man killed the squirrel with his crutch, stopping the rampage.
• Local authorities say the attack was likely due to mating season aggression or sickness in the squirrel.

My $0.02: Due to mating aggression? Well, then:
Squirrel-a-licious definition make them boys go crazies!
They run about biting like they have rabies!
It's the B to the I to the T, I, N, and G,
and can't no other squirrel chomp down like me!

Possible Powdered Alcohol for Minors

At least it's watered down. Full article here.

Quick Summary:

• 5 Dutch students made powdered alcohol for their final-year project at Helicon Devotional Institute.
• When water is added, the powder becomes a bubbly lime drink with 3% alcohol content.
• The drink could be sold to minors since it is in a powdered form.
• Booz2Go, as the concoction is called, comes in packets of 20 g and costs between $1.60 to $2.45.

My $0.02: I can already hear the distant din of religious groups and political activists rising up to protect 'traditional family values.'

Orange County Choppers Energy Drink Review

Drink: Orange County Choppers Energy Drink
Official Site: The Teutels must be trying to disown it since I couldn't find a promotional site.

Banking on its reputation, the show Orange County Choppers now has its only own energy drink. You'll want to wedge your size 12 shoe in the side of the can at the first sip as the unidentifiable mutant flavor hits your tongue. The only slightly redeeming factor is the energy factor, but it cannot compensate for this poor product which rides on its brand name.

Summary: You'll want to speed away from this drink.
Final Score: 2 out of 5

Jeff Gordon 24 Energy Drink

Drink: Jeff Gordon 24 Energy Drink
Official Site: Not available

NASCAR's champion, Jeff Gordon, should be proud to have his name attached to such a drink. Though I am typically wary of orange energy drinks, Jeff Gordon 24 zoomed onto my taste buds with a rich orange tangerine flavor. The drink flat-out outraces other non-promotional drinks on the market. With 75 mg of caffeine per serving, there's nothing to hate about Jeff Gordon 24.

Summary: Fuel the red-neck within.
Final Score: 5 out of 5

Tasty Tongue

I'm sure this experience was delightful... Full article here.

Quick Summary:

• During a passionate kiss, an Israeli woman accidentally bit her boyfriend's tongue off.
• A local hospital managed to reattach his tongue.
• The man was advised to "avoid wet kisses" after being discharged from the hospital.

My $0.02: I'm suprised the woman didn't swallow the piece of tongue in shock. And... Good God, what kind of making out were they doing?

SoBe Essential Berry Pomegranate Review

Drink: SoBe Essential Berry Pomegranate
Official Site: SoBe Bev: Essential Information

Clad in a bland white can and preaching "better-for-you energy," SoBeEssential can easily be mistaken for a diet drink. However, don't be put off by the presentation. The lightly carbonated concoction, though not exactly tasting like berry or pomegranate, is quite pleasing to the palate. The energy factor is about as good as most drinks on the market, giving SoBe Essential Berry Pomegranate a solid ranking.

Summary: Refreshingly simple taste.
Final Score: 4 out of 5
