Talk about yam fries. They are an unknown phenomenon. They appear on their own and disappear into nothing, some faster than others. 50 grams eaten at night turn into 3 kilos of chub the next day. Astrophysicists refuse to comment on this gravitational anomaly. But fries are even more dangerous than black holes. To neutralize one portion you gotta move for 3 days straight. By the way, we got stuff to show you today that moves on its own. How's that connected? I am not sure….

Now if that inspired you to do some marathon running or even just rotate in your office chair, that's good. Or at least to stop looking at links, because, conveniently enough, there's no more of them left for today. Come back next week, er, this Friday, we'll have some new product for you to see.

Weeee, its Wednesday again. And that means time to stare at internet more!
