[Weird thing of the day] Beware of ballistic marshmallows

[Aaron Solomon Adelman]

Greetings.

Jewish date:  13 Tishri 5771.

Today’s quasi-holidays:  World Gratitude Day, International Banana Festival, Elephant Appreciation Day, Miniature Golf Day, International Day of Peace, Independence Day (Armenia).

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Intel wants to charge $50 to unlock stuff your CPU can already do”:  You do realize, I hope, that this is an invitation for hackers to write their own unlocking code to avoid paying the $50.
• “The Quadrotor Drone Learns Several Terrifying New Tricks”

Today’s weird thing is the Marshmallow Mforcer Semi-Automatic Pistol, a weapon which fires marshmallows.  This should be useful when fighting foes made out of tissue paper.

Special bonus weird thing:  Stay Puft Caffeinated Gourmet Marshmallows.  Apparently life sometimes imitates corny movies.  (Hint:  Ghostbusters reference.)

Enjoy, share the weirdness, and DUCK!

Aaron
