AmazonFresh vs. supermarket: A hands-on shopping test | Internet & Media - CNET News: "In 1999, an online grocery-shipping company caught my attention.

Iorca Chic Bed

Iorca Chic Bed: "Sure, you can hide under the bed when aliens come and invade your home at 3 AM. We're going to bet it won't help you steer clear of their radar all that much, though. You need a more inconspicuous hiding place to trick the extraterrestrials into thinking there's no one home and this Iorca Chic Bed will probably do the trick."

Big Rig Pedal Powered Desk

Big Rig Pedal Powered Desk: "The Big Rig is a large work desk and stationary bike combo that also happens to be a kinetic generator, producing power from your pedaling motions that you can use to charge gadgets, power laptops and electrocute yourself for whatever reason it might serve you.  Sure, you may laugh at someone who chooses to torture themselves with bicycling endlessly just to create trickles of power, but when the apocalypse happens and the power grid goes down, whoever owns one of these things will end up the one laughing at your face."

That Helps No One Week 15: Matt Cassel - NFL.com

That Helps No One Week 15: Matt Cassel - NFL.com: "Well, that didn’t take long. Matt Cassel caught our attention early on as he started lighting up the scoreboard shortly after the opening kickoff in Minnesota. He had the early lead for the Week 15 That Helps No One award, and after a few more quarters of scoring at will against the Eagles’ defense, he had it locked up. Minnesota finished with 48 points today, which was by far their largest offensive output in any game this season. Without Adrian Peterson or Toby Gerhart to hand off the ball to, practically no one expected Matt Cassel to move the Vikings offense effectively, if at all. Which is why Cassel hanging 29.18 fantasy points on the Eagles was such a surprise, and worthy of this week’s award."
