Beer Can Wraps – Convert Beer Cans to Soda Cans

August 31, 2008

Do you feel like enjoying a cold brew, but it just so happens to not be allowed? Whether you are at the beach, the park, the office, a movie theater, shopping, a funeral or any other mildly prohibited non-drinking location or establishment, simply whip out one of these vinyl and reusuable Beer Can Wraps ($6). These stealth wrappers look just like real soda pop can labels so you can instantly convert a beer can into a soda can and nobody would be the wiser. Of course, these are simply meant to be fun novelties (I wouldn’t take the risk) and are not recommended for underage drinking, drivers, machinery operators, construction crews, teachers, priests, etc. So have fun and be responsible people.

Here’s the bottom line from this BlackBerry Bold review: “If you’re a BlackBerry fanatic, yes – it really is the phone you’ve been waiting for, if you’re not hoping RIM radically changed the recipe.

America refuses to accept defeat in Olympic medal count

August 26, 2008

“It was the perfect end to a perfect Olympic Games for China as the Olympic flame was handed over to London in one of the world’s greatest stadiums last night. As memories of a sensational Games faded, China celebrated achieving its ultimate aim of heading the Olympic medals table for the first time. Unless you are in America, where you will discover that Team USA remain the force in world sport.

The race for the Olympic title is measured in medals, it just depends on which medals you consult. The IOC issues its league table based on the number of golds won, which gives China the honours, but then admits that there is no official system in place to decide who is top dog. So the American public is reading tables counting the total number of medals, including silver and bronze, won at the Games. On that measure, the US keep the whip hand over the home nation..” More
