Did you know that a fish’s scales can resist heat up to about 700 degrees Fahrenheit? Yeah, it’s a pretty remarkable little known fact that allowed this fish above to remain alive even after it’s been cooked.
If you believed that first sentence, you fail. I was just kidding. But the above video IS of a fish that is still moving after being cooked. Cantonese people in the background of course.
Thanks LingLong!

David Sykes commissioned model maker Ridley West to create a giant white plate that could be attached to a wall and then created this fabulous balloon breakfast photograph with the help of Jennie Webster. Yummy!

I have a New York Fahgettaboudit Kryptonite lock and it is great. It’s big and heavy but that’s to be expected from a chain that protects against the hardest of thieves who are out to steal a bike. If I’m out with my bike, you can bet I carry my Kryptonite lock with me.
And while Kryptonite locks are known to be incredibly strong and resilient against attacks, there’s gotta be something said about the lock’s construction quality. In plain words, it sucks. The black plate that covers the hole where the key is inserted is falling off and it doesn’t seem to be an isolated case as my brother who also owns the same lock has had his plate completely snap off. While mine hasn’t snapped off just yet, it’ll be a matter of days before I know my Kryptonite lock will be without a plate covering the keyhole from the weather (thus increasing the potential for rust, etc.).
The problem it seems stems from 2 very weak screws that hold the black plate onto the lock body. Without much abuse, these screws seem to just fall right out of their holes.
So Kryptonite, if you’re reading this, please find a way to remedy this problem. While not essential to the actual protection of a bike, the fact that your locks fall apart so easily makes me have a bit less faith in your product.

A special Christmas morning from Greg and Lou. It’s funny because I think I made my parents a popsicle-stick picture frame before when I was younger. I can’t imagine how I’d feel if they had reacted like this. But hey, at least they put it on the fridge for a little bit.
