    To kill a mocking bird (In real life. Not the book)

    Woodpeckers have made a nasty habit of going to work on the metal roof vents on my parents house. My dad got a plastic owl, with no results (they, in fact, openly mocked the owl by standing on its head and crapping on it). Ultimately, the simply solution of keeping a bucket of whiffle balls...

    You can get around the jello not setting up due to alcohol content by adding additional packets of flavorless Knox Gelatin. <BR><BR>I personally recommend mixing strawberry and lime jello, and using tequilla to make a strawberry margarita jello shot.

    First iPhone 3gs review(s) up!

    I think that review pretty much confirms everybody's suspicion: like a nice speed bump to any of Apple's other hardware lines, but not a revolutionary new product. I'll be getting one a week or two after launch, when all the hoopla dies down -- View image here...

    Loudest Portable mp3 Player

    That really isn't the best strategy, as far as your hearing is concerned. Just overwhelming something that is already really loud will just damage your ears.<BR><BR>Have you looked into over-ear hearing protection? That would block out the lawnmower, and allow you to feed in some in-ear phones...
