There are few places in the world where you’d you find a liquor store like this…but Edinburgh, Scotland is definitely one of them.
Scorpions…
They’re what’s for dinner! Taken in Beijing, China…and if you’re wondering what they taste like, you’ll be disappointed – they have the taste and consistency of plain popcorn, basically. And yes, you eat them with the stingers attached. The venom is supposed to be good for your heart, according to Chinese medicine.

Amazon Kindle Fire vs iPad – after 1 hour of use
If you’ve ever used an iPhone or iPad, you are not going to be impressed with the Kindle Fire. Yes, it’s less than half the price, and that may make it worthwhile, but the difference between the two devices (and more particularly between the OSs) is vast. The Fire (Android) is just clunky, unpolished, and primitive. Ice Cream Sandwich (the newer version of Android that the Fire does not run) may be closer…but the Kindle does not offer an impressive experience…if you’re coming to it in a vacuum, or from previous Android device experience…you’ll probably like it. Hardware wise it’s pretty nice…a bit chunky, but not too bad, and nice and solid feeling. A bit heavy for its size, but overall it’s a nice package, it just needs an OS update, badly.
Perhaps more later; I have to go dump my AMZN calls.

This is prescient on so many points…I’m blown away. A very timely thing to watch with Apple announcing their “Assistant” IOS technology tomorrow
