The vibration was thought to "exercise" the muscles and reduce the chance of wrinkles. I can imagine slicing a divot out of my hips with that knife sharpener every morning.

He took a power cord, stripped the ends of the wires, attached them to forks and put them in each side of the pickle. For a brief moment, just before the pickle caught fire and our dorm blacked out, it looked a lot like that hot dog cooker. Stannous: you should check out Jim's blog at http://dowhatnow.typepad.com/ it's friggen hilarious and I think you'd get a big kick out of it.

But the electric wiener execution device is scarier for me. The beauty cabinet is totally cool and thanks Jim for pointing that out, I'd missed it. I see a clock in the upper right corner but wonder what that is in the upper left. Any ideas? She does have a Wednesday Addams sort of look in her eye.
