After our lengthy road trip to a land of many beers an no radio signals my friend Cornelius told me I either have to find tapes of something other than Appetite for Destruction and Hall & Oates: Greatest Hits or get one of these Bluetooth cassette adapters.

Yes, I still have a cassette deck in my car.

If you do too, or if you have a ghetto blaster or a Walkman that would bring you great nostalgic joy to continue using, the adapter has built-in Bluetooth tech so it can pair wirelessly with any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop, or media player. Think of it: your whole music collection pumping in the finest sound quality through the hard plastic and miniature spools of a cassette tape. This one, however, is ribbon-free so you won't get to relive the pleasure of finger-cranking after the tape hooks on something and unravels into a tangled mess that spews out of your player when you hit the Eject button.

Maybe you've seen one of the images on a postcard, or a print on the wall of a sentimental older relative: a person, usually a young child, gazes at you with a cartoonishly melancholy expression. She might be holding a puppy or a kitten, and she definitely has enormous, tearful eyes.

Yeah, yeah, I love the new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer at least as much as the rest of you. But I'm still going to have to decree the greatest trailer released in the last 24 hours to be this one, which combines the somber score for Interstellar with the few non-ridiculous moments from Mel Brooks' Spaceballs.

This is Tan Shen. She’s 26 years old and lives in the Sichuan province of China. She’s also recently been dumped by her boyfriend and spent the last seven days at a 24-hour KFC location while trying to figure out her life, Yahoo! UK reported.

“I didn’t want to go back to my apartment because it was full of memories of him,” Chen said. “So I stayed.”

She “needed time to think,” was what she told other patrons of the fast food chain. Which must be true: Anyone with their head screwed on correctly knows that Popeye’s is the jam. KFC is to Popeye’s as Gobots are to Transformers. That’s not news.

But look, she’s grieving. Cut her a break because she did eventually leave the resto. That’s when one employee admitted that they “kind of miss her” and that she “made things interesting” while breathing so heavily onto the corner booth table.

“We work in shifts here and the restaurant is open 24 hours a day, so we get a lot of people coming through,” said another employee. “At first no one really noticed her. But after a few days I began thinking she looked really familiar … She was after all a paying customer, even if a bit of an odd one.”

Hendo Hover of Los Gatos, California has created HENDO, a real-life hoverboard that uses magnetic fields to hover one inch off the ground above special surfaces. The company has also launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to build development kits for the board and help create areas to ride them. While the project invokes a certain iconic 1980s film sequel, HENDO is careful not to mention that project by name.

Yep, there was a movie. However, our attorneys have told us not to go there. So this is as far as we’ll take it.
