The Annals of Improbable Research's newsletter version — and check out its new blog — is running a limerick contest: Investigator Steven Slap recommends that we recommend the book "Fundamentals of Microanalytical Entomology: A Practical Guide to Detecting and Identifying Filth in Foods," by Alan R. Olsen, Thomas H. Sidebottom and Sherry A. Knight. We commend Investigator Slap for his recommendation, and recommend that, for conversational purposes, everyone refer to the book as "Sidebottom's classic 'Fundamentals of Microanalytical Entomology: A Practical Guide to Detecting and Identifying Filth in Foods.'" Readers who have read the book (which we have not)...

Hello Kitty insect repellant bracelet

Hello Kitty insect repellant bracelet 04/13/2005 03:19 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Sid, who blogs Winkie, lives in Tokyo. Yesterday, he got a press release for a Hello Kitty branded insect repellent pendant, designed to be worn on the wrist or around the neck. The press release has lots of great janglish:

It is good feeling to have a food outside. But, it is bad if unpleasant bugs come. So, now a handy bug repellent with no smell gets popular.

The press release also cautions journalists not to imply that the pendant actually does the thing it is advertised to do:

We appreciate your corporation that the word such as "repellent" and "repel unpleasant bugs", etc. can be used on publicity, but the word or wording that imply "Effective for mosquitoes" or "itchy" and "mosquito", etc. cannot be used. A conventional repellent is registered with pharmaceutical product and/or quasi-pharmaceutical product. However, this product is not yet registered as a wording of "Effective for mosquito", etc. cannot be used.

Fossil Fool Down Low Glow 08/20/2004 12:50 PM

Oh good, rice for bikes! While ostensibly the Down Low Glow from Fossil Fool is for safety, I think we all know what the real purpose of these kits are - to siphon money away from filthy Burning Man participants and/or gangbangers. But whether you're caked in dried mud or just the shame of your own personal style choices, the Down Low Glow can be yours for just $100.

Or you can spring for the two-light set for $150. Might as well.

Fossil delays the Palm OS wristwatch PDA
again 01/22/2004 03:21 AM
Plans for Fossil Inc.'s Palm OS-based smart wristwatch are back to square one, as the version that was expected to be out in the middle of last year has been shelved in favor of a less expensive and more powerful version of the watch now scheduled for release in the middle of this year, Fossil said Wednesday.

Fossil Wrist PDA (Finally) Reviewed

Fossil Wrist PDA (Finally) Reviewed 02/05/2005 10:17 PM

For those of you who don't mind adorning your wrist with what appears to be a small, metal-framed end table comes the Wrist PDA from Fossil. Possibly the first wrist watch to come with a stylus, (albeit one that looks like the nail file from a mini-Leatherman) Fossil has jam-packed every ounce of PalmOS goodness they could into a little square. As a bonus, they've graciously packed it in an adorable orange tin which you can later use to store your Tinker Toys or fingers collection. FossilWristPDA.com has a surprisingly balanced review/getting started guide that gets only a little bit smarmy (and we'll cut them some slack, since they've obviously been anxiously sitting on that domain for a while). It seems that writing on the watch has a bit of a learning curve, but using most third party software works well and allows you to pack quite a bit of functionality onto your wrist. It's only taken like 3 years to get here.
