PETA Offering Prize For Non-Meat Meat
Posted by Frank Meyer - Monday, April 21, 2008 4:27 PM
 The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will be announcing plans this week for a $1 million prize to the "first person to come up with a method to produce commercially viable quantities of in-vitro meat at competitive prices by 2012."
In other words, who here among us will invent the next Chicken McNugget?
For years, scientists have worked to develop technologies to grow tissue cultures that could be consumed like meat without the expense of land or feed and the disease potential of real meat. In theory, once grown, this tissue could be shaped and given texture with the kinds of additives and structural agents that are used to give products such as soy burgers a more meaty texture.

Bad Snack Review: 'Iron Man' Cookie
Posted by Ty Colfax - Friday, April 04, 2008 2:14 PM
This Iron Man Edible Image cookie caught our eye at 7-11 this morning on our daily Slurpee/Doritos run and we just had to snatch it up. Nevermind the fact that we will buy anything as a department, but us G4 internetsies would be remiss if we didn't do our duty in reviewing something that straddles the line of marketing propaganda and kitsch collecterism.
Read our impressions below the click.

Fruit Flavored
Posted by Frank Meyer - Friday, April 13, 2007 10:53 AM
 Ben & Jerry is introducing a new flavor into their lexicon of taste: the Queen-inspired "Bohemian Raspberry."
The tasty treat follows B ‘n’ J’s other popular music-themed ice creams, including Phish Food and Cherry Garcia
Queen guitarist Brian May released this ridiculously punny statement: "It's Queentastic! Rhapsolicious! So cool it's not funny! But only if the next one is 'We Will Chock You!'"
The flavor will raise money for the Mercury Phoenix Trust fighting AIDS worldwide.

Russian Govt: "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow"
Posted by Matthew Bretz - Friday, February 02, 2007 4:56 PM
Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry has advised the citizens of the Omsk region of Siberia not to drink the yellow, orange, and green snow that fell earlier in the week.
The precipitation in question is oily to the touch and has been said to have a rotten smell to it.
How it took us so long to win the Cold War against people that have to be warned not to drink this stuff is beyond us.

Man Killed Over Warm Beer
Posted by Matthew Bretz - Tuesday, December 05, 2006 2:19 PM
 You may remember that, some weeks back, TheFeed reported that St. Louis had been named as the MostDangerousCity in the United States. At the time, we weren’t totally convinced. We’ve all seen Four Brothers and know that that kind of stuff goes on all the time in Detroit, so we figured Motown was a shoe-in. But now our doubts are slowly but surely disappearing.
You see, in The Lou, not only can you be killed for wanting Jesus but, apparently, you can also expect to be shot several times for offering someone a warm beer.
That’s what happened on Sunday, when police say a St. Louis woman shot her 70-year-old husband four to five times in the chest after he offered her a warm can of Stag, part of the fine family of Pabst Brewing Company beers. To be sure, anyone who offers someone a warm beer deserves a mild ass-beating. No one’s disputing that. But no one deserves a torso-full of lead for a simple lapse in etiquette.
It’s saddening to know that something as simple as a beer cozy could have prevented this senseless crime. That’s why, in the interest of a safe and happy holiday season, we hope you’ll check out this experiment done by the folks over at myscienceproject.org. It’s full of interesting observations and real-world tests of a wide spectrum of cozies.
Study it well. The life you save may be your own.

Baby Tastes Best When Microwaved On High
Posted by Dana Vinson - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 10:31 AM
Just when you thought your day couldn't get any more delicious, a Dayton woman has been arrested and charged with killing her baby...by microwaving it to death.
About a year ago, China Arnold brought her lifeless, 28-day-old baby, Paris, to a Dayton emergency room. The child died at the hospital where the cause of death was listed as "thermal injury." A strange diagnosis because, as far as anyone knew, the baby had never been to space or placed in a nuclear reactor. China was taken into custody and questioned, but never charged with endangering her child's life.
Now, unfortunately, China is headed to jail, but what an ingenious move microwaving the baby was! It was so smooth it took the Dayton police department over a year to figure out what happened, which is baffling considering the baby arrived to emergency room in a patented Hot Pocket crisping sleeve.

Bad Snack Review: Spotted Dick
Posted by Stephen Johnson - Thursday, October 12, 2006 7:17 AM
TheFeed Super-Awesome Adventure Team And Wild West Stunt Show think it's pretty funny to eat bad foods and tell you about it. We call it Bad Snack Review. Today we're choking down Spotted Dick.
Steve: Nothing can convince me that foods with suggestive names aren't hilarious. I'm immature like that. Witness the Cock Soup review and this amusing photo:
But the can of Spotted Dick almost cost me my job.

What A Tool! Cop Canned For Pot Cookies
Posted by F M - Tuesday, September 12, 2006 2:50 PM
A Spokane, Washington cop was forced to resign after eating two $1 pot cookies at a Tool concert on August 27, 2006 at the Gorge Amphitheater.
The really sucky part is that the officer was ratted on by two fellow cops. Hey, I thought there was some sort of code between cops where they didn’t narc on each other!
Jonathon Smith, a three-year officer, resigned last month after Police Chief James Nicks gave him a choice between quitting and being canned.
