Breakfast Links: Fish Tank, Nitrogen Tanks & Air Sex
Here it is. If you are too lazy to build your own crazy interconnected fishtanks (I’m looking at you, Ben!) then you can wuss out and get this crazy fish tank. Apparently, all I want is for fish to travel down little hallways of water - and this tank does all of that for you with those wierd little balls. Personally, I think each one should be themed, you know, here’s the underwater forest, this rooms the shipwreck room, this is the one with the little castle. Dig it?
Ok, another creepier kinda tank - y’know how NYC has all those wierd nitrogen tanks all over the place? They sit there quietly steaming and frosting away in the middle of streets and sidewalks? Yeah, that always creeped the hell out of me, I don’t know… fortunately gothamist got to the bottom of it. Turns out that it’s Verizon using them to dry their cables or something. They say that it’s not dangerous… anyhow, the next thing I want to know are those wierd devices you see in the subways - they look like some kind of air quality tester or something? Have you seen them, like a cart with a wierd metal probe sticking out the top? Yeah, that scares me, too. Apparently, I’m easily frightened.
And then there was Japan. Oh, Japan. Ok. So. Some guys in Japan weren’t getting laid. So they decided that they should instead have an Air Sex competition. Like air guitar, but with sex… sort of… Really, you have to watch that video, there’s no explanation I could give that would make this clear to you. A few notes, though. A) This is not going to further the cause of actually having sex. B) It is not clear to me that they realize that a woman is human and not some wierd shaped alien. C) Wow. This is totally crazy. I could try to pick a quote or a favourite moment, but you should just watch it. Could Air Sex Hero for the PS3 be around the corner?? :)

Ok that fish tank is pretty cool but since I’m an elitist snob, unsuitable for the high wattage live plant tanks that I prefer. “Highest quality silk plants”??? Pfft, whatever. ;-p And maintenance of those bottom 3 globes looks to be nigh impossible.

I was wondering in general how you get stuff into those globes… I guess the tube must come off. Still, looks pretty awesome. Just get more catfish and snails and what not. Come on! :)

On the fish tank, Felix, get a hamster! And Air sex huh? They say it’s “sex without a partner” but I was pretty sure that was called something else. Definitively, the dumbest Idea so far this year.
