Some bacon lover sent me a link to a product that combines two of my loves, bacon and clocks. Well, it turns out the baconation group over there on cafepress has tons and tons of bacon merchandise, including such fantastic slogans as “The power of bacon compells you” and “Love, Peace and Bacon Grease“.
And, to complete your wardrobe, why not buy some delicious looking bacon keds:

In the spirit of Hrokay‘s comment about spider legs and Segway mounted guns, here is a list of 7 military weapons you won’t believe they actually built. I think #1 is especially relevant: if you can mount a cannon on a scooter, you can mount a gun on a Segway! Of course this also has a reference to the Big Dog robot from Boston Dynamics (you may remember him for being especially creepy).
For some reason things come together in a perfect storm such that I get a bunch of links pertaining to the same subject all at the same time. And in this case, the subject is zombies.
First things first, I we have a possible zombie attack on our hands, and thanks to technology we have been given advance warning. In this case it is the twitter account of the Boston PD:
INJURED OFFICER: Officer from district 4 transported to Beth Israel Hospital, human bite to arm, suspect in custody.
Twitter user willcady used the opportunity to ask the police a burning question:
@Boston_Police if that was a zombie bite, would you tell us?
The police, setting the gold standard for government transparency, answered him:
@willcady Yes, absolutely
Suuuuuure they will. Be aware! Link courtesy NBH.
Second off was the zombie movie news that was all over the place last week. Apparently someone threw together a zombie movie for $70 and it is getting rave reviews. Now, to be fair, the $70 thing is kind of a white lie. Sure, maybe he only spent $70, but (for example) they had special effects leftovers from the set of Wolverine donated. It’s not like I could go out and make the same movie with only $70. Nevertheless, it was a very, very cheap movie. What did they spend the $70 on?
“We bought a crowbar and a couple of tapes, and I think we got some tea and coffee as well — not the expensive stuff either, the very basic kind,” Price told CNN. “Just to keep the zombies happy.”
Always a good idea.
Finally, I will leave you with two zombie related games.
The first, Plants vs. Zombies, combines two of my favorite things, zombies and tower defense. I saw a review of this pop up in several places, so it seems to be somewhat popular. The only problem is, it costs $20. But they do have a free trial you can download and install that lets you play the regular game for 60 minutes. And it was a lot of fun! I was extremely disappointed when my trial was up.
If you don’t feel like actually playing the game, you can watch a preview instead:
Finally, I leave you with a free game, Zombie Hooker Nightmare. The title should give you a clue about this one. Basically, you play a ::ahem:: lady of the night who is just trying to make an honest living if only these dang zombies would leave her alone! I find it kind of ironic, since she doesn’t seem to have a lot of brains to tempt them.

Have you ever thought to yourself, self, eating bacon is good, but I’m just not getting that bacon into my gullet fast enough! And also if I could get drunk while I’m doing it too. Enter Bacon Vodka which is apparently floating around Washington state.
For my part, I’m a little skeptical, but I would absolutely give it a shot. Just because something is good and bacon is good, combining them doesn’t automatically mean they are good. Let’s just say I’ve been burned before: after the picklerita, my hopes aren’t super high.
I guess I don’t look at the instructions on the hand dryer very much (because I pretty much know how they work), but now that they point it out the little heat lines coming out do look like bacon.
Either that, or this is a new awesome machine that dispenses bacon.
