Unusual stuffed animal at Ikea

December 13th, 2008 |

So, my wife and I were at Ikea today. We stopped to look at their realistic stuffed animals. An elephant had caught here attention and I was interested if they had any toy grizzly bears yet. Then we came across this little guy:

The picture doesn’t show that his other eye is HUGE. Does anybody have any idea what animal this is supposed to be? We’re really confused

Jell-o millionaire

May 16th, 2008 |

One day I plan to be rich. And rather than put my money in some stupid bank, I’ll put in Jell-o. Here’s how it would work.

  • Let’s assume $10,000,000 is “rich”
  • Right now Harris Teeter’s is selling 6-packs of sugar-free Jell-o for $3.79. Each cup is 3.333 oz, so that’s $0.1895/oz. Not bad at all.
  • $10,000,000 = 52,770,448.549 oz = 3,298,153.034 lbs. of Jell-o
  • That’s 1,649 tons of Jell-o, which is really quite manageable and disappointing.
  • If I had $1,000,000,000, I could buy 164,900 tons of Jello-o. That’s more than two Nimitz Class aircraft carriers*.

If I didn’t already have free long distance and free nights and weekends on my cell phone, I might consider getting Comcast Digital Voice. But probably not.
