We’re not exactly ones to check our sources, but then again, we’re a web page, and if it turns out we write something stupid, we can always hit “delete” and hope everyone forgets about it. (Yes, I know, Google never forgets). But unfortunately for UK papers the Sun and Daily Mail, their idiocy will live on in print for years. Case in point: Check out the following stories both papers ran when John Ware, a 47-year old builder, sent in a pic he allegedly snapped of a 19th century ghost boy while his company tore down an old school house.


The Sun


The Daily Mail

Very Spooky, to be sure. Yet, as you can see, that mysterious ghost boy is ALSO haunting the 99ยข iPhone app “Ghost Capture“, which allows you to place a variety of ghosts on top of any photo you’d like.

Some things are just so stupid that they’re awesome…

… and some things are just stupid.

I am somewhat on the fence here about the Retro TV Dinner Turkey Corn and Mash Potatoes Gadget Case for the iPhone/iTouch.

Sure, it seems like a good idea for a joke gift, but at $20 it rivals the cost of many “real” iPhone cases that a person might actually use. Now, if it looked like bacon, that would be different. But as it stands, there are simply too many carbs for me.

These things may not be able to run snow Leopard, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have fun in the snow!

Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Florian for the tip!

iBook Slippers keep your feet toasty while pole dancing

It’s long been known the number one problem facing strippers during the winter months is frostbite. Well, one inventive gal has come up with a solution that doesn’t get in the way of her chosen profession. Behold the iBook slippers.

Given the current value of the iBook, these might actually be cheaper than regular slippers. (Warning, do not watch this video on your iPhone, as it is probably considered “overtly sexual” by Apple)
