"Quote This!"

"QUOTE THIS!"

I have always been fond of great quotes, but am quite disgusted with "quote sites" that show nothing other than a quote, whom it was by and possibly a date! I mean, come on, it is not very hard to copy and paste a photo or two, give some descriptive background (if possible). Basically just liven it up. So, with that said, let's have some fun!


"Aside from all that would kill you, it would be a fun trip."
~Neil deGrasse Tyson of the American Museum of Natural History

Neil deGrasse Tyson holds a Ph.D. degree in astrophysics and the quote was obtained while watching the television show The Universe on the episode called Speeding Up Travel, it was in reference to what he considered would be the "most fun" tour of our solar system you could come up with. That tour would consist of tailing or "hopping" on said asteroid/comet as it heads towards the Sun; the comet would be "sucked" behind the sun and almost "slingshot" back in the direction in which it came. Then, once nearing Earth's vicinity, you could "hop" off said comet and descend into a comfortable orbit around our planet.

Guess That Gadget!

Here is the very first Guess That Gadget! on tattoothebaby. A little background on Guess That Gadget!, most of the time the item will be something that we, here at tattoothebaby, happen to have collecting dust somewhere amongst our vast piles of, er, stuff? Sometimes we know what the item at hand does and sometimes, we don't. Feel free to email us pictures of your stuff and we will try to get it posted in the GTG! of the Week. Guess' can be left by comments or by contacting us. We will return all emails, eventually.
This weeks Guess That Gadget! happens to be a very handy device. It has a "Coghlan's" sticker affixed to its front and is embossed "Taiwan" on the back. It is fairly old as it is made of plastic and quite a bit of fading has occurred.
Tip #1- Most likely used by travelers. More tips and pics to come. Good Luck!

Now that I am done giving that small lesson, let me continue. I am here to voice my opinion, which I feel is also the same as many others(yet are afraid to let their opinions be heard) out there and NOT just Americans like myself, I am talking about people from all walks of life, from all over the world. Heck, maybe even multiple universes for that matter, but for the most part lets stick with Earth. Which wont inhabit man for much longer if we keep thrashing our home.
Be prepared for some seriously juicy content, as I will NOT try to be politically correct whatsoever! I have a journalistic background and my writers block is finally lifting. Consider my articles within this blog to be purely "editorial" in style and HIGHLY opinionated as well as somewhat controversial.

Stay tuned...

2- Master Replicas Force FX Lightsaber Construction Set

So, the one present that I absolutely could not guess turns out to be one of the coolest. Even with the will of a Jedi Master, I was not able to figure this one out. Imagine to my surprise as I was unwrapping, no, not unwrapping, I was shredding the decorative ribbons and wrapping paper off of this giant sized box, and what did my eyes see...a Master Replica's Force FX Lightsaber Construction Set! I had been eying this amongst other sabers (what else is an almost extinct Jedi to lust over?) for quite sometime. With hundreds of possible combinations, you too, can find the right set-up for your lightsaber. You can change the blades color from red to blue to green, and all the parts are interchangeable. It only requires three (3) AAA batteries which are still readily available almost anywhere these days, unlike the power cells we used back in the days of the Clone Wars, jeez were they expensive. So, overall, this lightsaber will entertain Jedi's and Padewan's alike!
