voltaire reincarnated as snoop dogg

I don't think anyone would expect this pair to look so much alike... but they do. And when such a bizarre epiphany comes about, one simply has to share it. The likeness is undeniable. Even Snoop's hairstyle, which isn't too similar in this particular photo, does correspond more closely when he's sporting his strange but frequently occurring old lady curls.

It's also important to note similarities outside of physical ones. For example, Voltaire and Snoop Dogg both use pen/stage names. Snoop was born Cordozar Calvin Broadus, and Voltaire accordingly was François-Marie Arouet. What does it mean? Probably nothing... but it's worth mentioning. Also, Voltaire was known for his satirical style... and who can't detect the sarcasm in Snoop's "izzle" language. He actually had a short lived show called Doggy Fizzle Televizzle. I think Voltaire would have thought that was pretty funny. I know I do.

incredible expanding marshmallows

This is some of the most baffling footage. Ever. My aunt informed me of this phenominon... so when she told me I eagerly dragged out my mom's dusty FoodSaver to witness and capture it in action. Usually the removal of air makes things deflate instead of inflate... but because marshmallows are that weird, the air trapped inside the marshmallow pushes out causing it to expand. The important thing to remember here is that FoodSaver exists to remind us of the amazing and mystifying qualities of the marshmallow-- never to be forgotten.

I feel obligated to mention that the FoodSaver, although I support getting more mileage out of your groceries, just isn't that good of a solution. Everyone has them and no one uses them; it's a problem. I prefer the Handi-Vac... small enough to fit in any drawer, no cords, and makes irresistible slurping sounds. If it didn't require special bags it might be perfect. But alas, we must wait for the golden age of kitchen gadgetry.
