Bulletproof Bed — Quantum Sleeper Ad
I rarely post ads here, but this one made me chuckle.
With the kinds of worries listed, I think I would still have a difficult time getting a good night’s sleep — even in this “saferoom” style bed!
“Quantum Sleepers can also be fitted to provide protection from destructive forces of nature such as tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods.
The Quantum Sleeper Unit is a high-level security system designed for maximum protection in various hostile environments.”
Some of my friends say they have seen TV ads for this product… I guess even when the world is falling apart around you, you still gotta get your beauty sleep. 
Has anyone tried this out? Please comment.

Eric Clapton Shreds
“Late last year a Finnish media artist named Santeri Ojala got a lot of attention for a series of hilarious YouTube videos in which he lifted concert footage of various guitar heroes and overdubbed his own intentionally awful playing. The bad musicianship was funny enough, but the verisimilitude made it even funnier: Ojala was great at matching each player’s hand movements and timing, and he sprinkled lukewarm applause and other sound effects throughout. The videos were like alternate-universe versions of rock-god cliches.” — Boingboing.net
As someone who is into atonal music, I think this might be the best thing Clapton has recorded since his 1989 Journeyman LP.
