Man of the Year? Cool brew "Huski" inventor has our vote!!

Ah, those New Zealanders!! The latest to carry the torch of their storied tradition - 22 year-old Kent Hodgson, who has invented a portable gadget, that resembles a pocket rocket (double utility?), that can cool down any beer in the matter of seconds. Yeah, seconds.

The man himself, Kent H., said about the invention (The Huski),
"I thought how cool it would be if we could replicate putting beers in a freezer. No warm beer or a diluted drink and I was inspired."

Indeed. You have inspired us, Kent Hodgson, and for that, blessings my child. "The Huski" will sell for around $50 and can cool about 30 330ml bottles. We already pre-ordered. Bow down b#tches, bow down......

Does Bush "constructing detention centers for mysterious programs" weird anyone else out?

Far be it from The Church being sensationalist or subscribing to conspiracy theory, but this was so freaking eerie that we had to pass it along, check an excerpt:

"In January when the Army Corps of Engineers awarded Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root a $385 million contract to construct detention centers somewhere in the United States, to deal with "an emergency influx of immigrants into the US, or to support the rapid development of new programs," KBR said. [Market Watch, Jan. 26, 2006]

Later, the New York Times reported that "KBR would build the centers for the Homeland Security Department for an unexpected influx of immigrants, to house people in the event of a natural disaster or for new programs that require additional detention space." [Feb. 4, 2006]"
