The Debunker: Did Big Dinosaurs Have a Second Brain?
Did you know that the second week of March is Brain Awareness Week around the globe? You didn’t? You weren’t aware of your brain? Conscious of your consciousness? Well, get with the program. March is perhaps the brainiest month of the year—it’s also when we celebrate the 1879 birthday of famous smarty-pants Albert Einstein, and the 1946 beginning of Mensa intelligence testing. But it turns out people will believe just about anything they hear about what’s going up between their ears. We’ve asked Ken Jennings to fact-check some particularly lame-brained misconceptions about gray matter.

Breville Juice Fountains - Your Choice
De-Detox
Guys, let's make juice fun again.
It's time to "cleanse" ourselves of the idea that drinking juice is a goody-goody chore, a ritual of self-denial, something we associate with fasting. Aside from the fact that there's no science behind "juice cleanses", and the fact that there's not really even such a thing as "toxins", and the fact that your body has several perfectly good organs already devoted to processing unwanted material, there's also the fact that "juice cleanses" make juice seem really boring and uptight.
Dyson DC35 Multi Floor Vacuum
How Long Must We Wait?
It is with great disappointment that we report the failed merger between Slyson and Dyson.
Dyson is known for some of the vacuuming world's most impressive innovations, including patented root cyclone technology that never loses suction and lifetime filters that never need to be replaced. But imagine, just for a moment, if a Dyson vacuum was MORE than just the best vacuum in the world. Imagine, if you will, if a Dyson was a vacuum AND a vegetable slicer.
It Slysons! It Dysons! Can you imagine the implications? As the powerful centrifugal forces spin dust and dirt out of the air and into the bin, the patented Slyson blades perfectly julienne your carrots! And with just one flick of the high velocity airflow crevice tool - voila! An expertly diced mirepoix in minutes!

Craftsman Rolling Tool Chest & Cabinet
Craft it Up
We're going to ship it better than last time! And even better next time!

But you know what, we're not stopping there. While the double-walled box is all we have for this Craftsman Rolling Tool Chest currently, we're excited to announce that we'll be offering these other durable shipping options in the future:
The Trivial Eye: Board Game Battlefields
The only good wars are the ones fought around a table with your friends. No casualties, no shattered cities or burned fields or starving refugees, and it's all over in a few hours.

Answers are here. Please post your guesses, speculations, or arguments below! But know this: the Trivial Eye is presented for public amusement and no prizes are offered other than that familiar feeling of aggravation that so much of your mind is occupied by useless trivia.

Rayovac Alkaline Batteries (7 Options)
BOTUS
U-S-A! U-S-A! Bring home the gold! And batteries!
It's official: 2014's [quadrennial worldwide winter sports showdown] has come and gone, and it was full of excitement.
But when you're not a [quadrennial worldwide winter sports showdown] participant (or maybe you are, and if that's the case, well done!), you might feel a little left out. How are you supposed to show your country pride if you can't bring home a medal?
Buy these Rayovac MADE IN THE USA Batteries.
They may not be gold, silver, or bronze, but alkaline is a metal (which is very close to being a medal!), and hey, if you look closely enough, you can see some silver on the battery itself. We're not sure if it's genuine silver, but the color sure looks like silver. And you didn't even have to twizzle! Congrats!
