When I went to Dublin a couple of weekends ago, I became aware of a device that I had never heard of..the
Guinness Surger.

Basically, you get special cans of Guinness. You refrigerate these cans. When you are ready, you pour it into a pint glass and put it on this ultrasonic contraption that makes it release its nitrogen, thus producing that head that you see at the pub. It sounds like a great idea but apparently it has not been that successful because you have to get those special cans that aren’t available everywhere.

Here it is in action:

Yes, yes, yes….the natural next question is of course, what happens when you put regular beer on that thing?

If I can find it I will buy one, but I don’t think you can really find them around anymore. Brilliant!

I am a law abiding citizen….for good reason. The good reasons are:

1. I am 5′9, 160 lbs, about half the size of the general inmate population of other races.
2. If I was in prison, I would be engulfed with ways to McGyver my way out of there and end up being in solitary confinement.
3. Frankly, I would be someone’s girlfriend because of #1.

There is one place where I might be able to be a prisoner, though….Philipines for these reasons:

1. I am 5′9 and 160 lbs, which is above the median size
2. I am moderately proficient at dancing
3. I am above-par in Michael Jackson moves

Yeah, I’m speechless too.

So, my friend Agenda is going to be on Who Wants to be a Millionaire tomorrow. Obviously this is exciting because it’s a friend on national TV with a chance to win a million dollars.

I think I may have been in the running as a “Phone a Friend” if I had been in the US and it would have been a very specific area of knowledge: Tech. I think Agenda has all the other areas covered, given that I don’t do history, literature, presidents, or state capitals. My Googling skills are tight, but that only gets you so far. You really want to have a speakerphone around that you can share with a group of experts.

Asian does not have a uniform definition all over the world…apparently neither does Indian. AK sent me this clip of a ninja on Indian Idol, rocking out to some Indian jams. I’m not really sure what to think. Don’t watch the entire clip…you might start to feel some PunjabiMC rocking your soul.
