I once again will plug the one-electron universe hypothesis, my favorite hypothesis ever.

That's hardly obscure at all.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person here who hasn't watched that show.

Orbiting Kerbol isn't hard. Literally all you have to do is escape Kerbin's gravity.

Fun fact: electrons also exhibit wave-particle duality!
Yes, I know that. And that's the reason why they can only be at certain energy levels, correct?
I have no idea. All I remember is doing some quantum physics in physics and being shown a few things about electrons. Including that and the fact electrons have the ability to interfere with themselves.
Pretty much everything can interfere with itself: In my old physics textbook there was a whole page about molecules - fullerenes, specifically - interfering with themselves. To provide some perspective: A typical fullerene has upward of sixty carbon atoms, meaning it contains 720 protons, neutrons, and electrons. They're huge!

Remember the store that sold the 700€ sharkskin glove that you couldn't take off? They have a whole line. Why not try the 4.100€ dolphin and reindeer-skin autoerotic asphyxiation belt? Or the 10.500€ coat made from the skin of 27 stillborn lambs?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

... okay, the Umbuster is kinda' awesome. Just... throwing that out there.

Wonder who first had the thought, "You know what? This knuckleduster needs an umbrella." though.

E: I'd also love to look at their financial statements. What kind of profit margin are those folks running?

E2: Wow, so that is what capitalism feels like. "Coat made from skin of stillborn lambs" leading to "I wonder what the profit outlay on those things are..."

My WTF for today: that there are apparently Mongolian Neo-Nazis. Who are apparently environmentalists. I guess it makes sense, there are probably Neo-Nazis everywhere, but for some reason it never quite clicked.

I honestly wonder if they're the personal outfitters for very rich and very evil supervillains. There's just something exceptionally creepy, but very refined, about their products.

Considering that the Mongol Empire came closer to taking over the world than any other group by several orders of magnitude, I'm not surprised fascist ideals could take root in modern Mongolia.

I know, right? That website was slick. Excellent sense of aesthetics, obviously very aware of exactly what makes their market tick. At least tentatively, that company would be an example I'd point to on how to exploit a niche market. Contingent on them actually making bank, at least :P

I'm imagining myself draped in the coat and using my sharkskin-gloved hand to shake the hand of my next victim while the belt tightens around his neck for the last time...
