This totally blows my mind. It’s weird to think that I live in a city that always seems to have construction going on and yet up until now I had no idea how cranes were put together. But now I know and knowing is half the battle! [via]

How to choose a Christmas tree
December 10, 2008 @ 5:07 pm
I often find these Howcast videos kind of stupid, but this particular one about how to choose a Christmas tree actually has useful tips about what to look for when buying your next tree.
I also didn’t know that there Christmas trees had pollen, or that there were even pollen-free Christmas trees (for people with allergies). For most families, buying a Christmas tree only comes once a year, but that’s not to say that you can’t always use some great tips for future reference.

It’s Tim Tam madness on Doobybrain.com this week!
News.com.au (I miss typing that) has a 45-page gallery (meaning, 45 images, paginated…) of the Arnott’s Tim Tam factory and it is amazing to see just how these chocolate treats get created.
If you really can’t stand the pagination, you can install this updated Repagination extension for Firefox 3+ and view the entire series on one page. Trust me, 45 clicks is too many to go through.

Hot dogs really are made of the unwanted parts of beef, chicken, and pork. Makes me want to have one right now! Mmmmmmmm!!!!
Inside a frozen pizza factory in Ireland
November 20, 2008 @ 8:27 pm
The BBC is showing the public how a frozen pizza is made by giving an exclusive look into the innards of a frozen pizza factory. [via]
It’s amazing that 2 million frozen pizzas a week roll out of this factory with so little human involvement. Almost everything here is literally handled by machines, essentially allowing for the making of pizzas 24/7! I doubt the factory is open 24/7, but man, if it was, Ireland would be buried in pizza!
Also, the image below of sausages was very funny because they were waving around like they were excited or something. Watch the video, you’ll know what I mean.
Deal of the Day!
