Wine from Faucets
 It's been a tough week and we've been holding onto this one for a few days just because we knew it would put a smile on your face. It's Friday, and the Dow Industrial has just concluded it's worst drop in history! If you've ever needed an excuse to drink, now may be it. In Marino, Italy they hold a grape festival every year and reroute the plumbing to have sparkling white wine flow from the fountains in the main square. In an "error", the plumbing was switched to local homes instead. Which meant that wine was literally flowing from the faucets of local residents. The London Times reported that some locals were able to fill up jugs of wine before the error was corrected. Have a great weekend. Click here to read the full post.Labels: food, fun, holidays

Santa Coming to Town--For Only Microseconds
 Anders Larsson of the engineering consultancy Sweco told AFP that Santa Clause would have to travel 3,604 miles per second in order to jump from house to house to deliver one gift to every child on earth. He would have 48 hours to complete his journey touching on the estimated 2.5 billion homes. Did we mention this would include his cookie breaks too? To accomplish this feat, "he has 34 microseconds at each stop," says Larsson, to slide down the chimney, drop off the presents, nibble on his cookies and milk and hop back on his sleigh. Larsson also says Santa must live in Kyrgyzstan in order to accomplish this feat. You can ready the entire article here. Labels: fun, holidays, study, travel

Best Games of 2007
 Looking for that perfect household gift? Games are always a good play. About.com listed their top games for 2007. We'll spill the beans on five: Cranium Wow - sculpt, draw, act and answer your way to victory. This is an update on the already best-selling game. Luck of the Draw from Gamewright - In this one you draw something based on a subject card that you pull from a stack. Other players vote on which category, among 100 different categories such as neatest, tallest or prettiest drawing, fits the drawing. Not sure exactly how you win the game though. If you've played this, let us know. Hot Spot from ThinkFun - The game pieces are built like robots that can only move in a straight line. The goal is to get the red robot to the “hot spot” which is the red spot on one corner of the board. There are other blue and yellow robots that the robot can jump over to get to his goal. You have to figure out the most economical way to get to the Hot Spot. I Spy Eagle Eye Game from Briarpatch - In this one, match one of the objects from the cards in your hand to the ones on the game board. Whoever finds an object first rings the bell and wins the round. WonderChess and WonderGo - Like chess? What if the chess pieces had prizes in them. That's basically what this is. You can stuff whatever you want inside the chess pieces (as long as they fit) and the person that captures the piece gets the additional prize. If you have another game you think we should know about, let us know. Labels: entertainment, fun, holidays

Diamond In The Rough
 What would you say to your wife if you accidentally threw away a 4.38 carat diamond? Probably nothing, considering it's probably twice the size as the one on her finger. In 1972 Crater of Diamonds State Park opened to the public-the only public mining site in the world. Chad Johnson, 36, was digging and sifting on a Saturday when he unearthed the tea-colored gem. Unaware and thinking it was a rock, he put his equipment away in a locker. When he returned a few days later he took a closer look and saw that the rock was, in fact, a diamond. Johnson's find is the second-largest diamond uncovered at the park this year. In June, a Louisiana man found a 4.8-carat stone. More than 700 diamonds have been found there this year. Sounds like a great date spot nonetheless. Labels: fun, real people

Wanna i-SOBOT?
 It could be the hottest toy this holiday season, or it could fail miserably. One thing is for sure - the i-SOBOT looks pretty cool. The 6.5-inch, bipedal mechanical creature has attracted the eyes of many internet websites, blogs and popular gadget sites like Gizmodo and Engadget. The Robot even has a Myspace page with more than 160 friends. If Junior or - I'm guessing - the the men of the house want one, it's going to set you back around $300. The i-SOBOT can perform 200 actions, with some you can view here. Tomy Corp. sells the robot at amazon.com, e-toys and in Sharper Image stores. However, we're still not guaranteeing you will be the cool one on the block, though you will own 6.5-inches of expensive plastic. Labels: fun, gadget
