Not that I needed any reassurance of the fact, but I thought it fair to remind all of you that the BMW 5 series is the greatest car ever devised by man. Yes, that is in fact a gun rack built into the rear armrest:

The bracket is electromagnetically locked and is opened from the front seats using a switch. The firearm moves forward automatically, therefore easy for the driver and passenger to reach.

And what gun is it designed for you ask? Why the Heckler and Koch MP5 of course (the BMW of assault rifles, one might say). Leave it to the Germans to quietly maintain their war R&D into the 21st century. Deutschland Über Alles!

From The Superficial:

If I was pregnant and had giant pregnant-boobs I wouldn’t wear a bra either. Or a shirt. Or pants. Or any clothes at all. I’d just walk around naked, occasionally squirting people with milk and screaming, “The miracle of life! The miracle of life!!”

So Eric has written a lovely post, unsolicited product endorsement, where he describes the joy that is the new Oral B Pulsar. So cool is this toothbrush in fact, it has it’s own (no joke) stylized television commercial.

UPDATE: Last night after work, I popped in to my convenient 24/7 Safeway on the way from work and bought the toothbrush. In order to shatter any scientific validity to my experiment, I also picked up some shiny new ‘whitening’ toothpaste. It’s all fabulous, spectacular even. I’ve been converted; I will now spend as exorbitant an amount cleaning my teeth as I already do on shaving my face.

Not sleeping, with work bearing down on me with the sunrise. Nevertheless, I had to post this on the off chance Elizabeth will read this crap tomorrow morning…love you!
