Auction of 'Unabomber's' Posessions

CNN is reporting that Ted Kaczynski, better known as the 'Unabomber,' is trying to stop the sale of his personal possession.

What does he own? More than I realized. The most famous items, the hooded jacket and sunglass (now back in style) and the more than 40,000 pages of Kaczynski's writings.

There are the degrees from Harvard and the University of Michigan, tools, typewriters, knives and a hatchet.
Speaking of burying the hatchet, Kaczynski owes some of his victims $15 million.
The 'Unabomber' is hoping the U.S Supreme Court will hear his case and rule that his items cannot be auctioned off to pay his victims.

On a side note, Ted Kaczynski still refers to himself as 'K.' Wow, what an interesting case study.

By the way, you can find the 'Unabomber's' manifesto here.

Inhale your chocolate guilt free

From chocoholics to puffaholics? If you have always wanted to inhale chocolate, here is your chance. A Harvard professor has come up with a way for you to get a whiff of chocolate without the calories. The mini inhaler, called Le Whif shoots a burst of chocolate flavor in your mouth. It will cost $2 for four puffs. The inhalers will be available later this month.

The professor isn't done. He's working on putting other foods in aerosol containers... foods like steak and carrots. The professor goes on to say this is the future of food. What foods would you like to have in an inhaler?
