Logmatic Wedge Axe Firewood Splitters

Using the Logmatic is kind of like digging a hole. Through a tree. The un-axes, or rather, Wedge Axes, are ergonomic hand tools designed especialy for splitting firewood and kindling. Place your Logmatic's flat head on top of a fat log, lift its nested striking bar up (the wedge stays in place), and then drive it back down to embed the wedge in the wood. Repeat the lift-and-slam steps until your slice breaks free.

Logmatic Wedge Axes, available in LM-250 Pro and lighter LM-150 models, won an Award of Security at a forestry trade fair in France for making the wood splitting process faster, less stressful on the body, and safer for all types of people to use. (Similar to the Kindling Cracker, but with a completely different concept and design.) According to Logmatic, even Grandma Josephine and little Timmy can bust up some firewood with the 9-pound LM-150 without throwing their backs out or losing half their toes thanks to the weight of the striking bar and Law of Continuity, and the axe's direction of force--straight into the ground.

With the wedge as a starting point of placement, the Logmatic also lets you take advantage of existing cracks in the wood you're splitting, and facilitates cutting around knotty areas.

The LM-250 weighs 12.13 pounds. It measures 5'1" long when fully extended before the pounce, and 3'5" with the striking bar depressed. The LM-150 weighs 8.8 pounds with maximum / minimum lengths of 3'2" and 5'3".

Muchas danke to Manny for the Dude Product Tip.

KFC-flavored nail polish gives new meaning to ‘chicken fingers’

by Dan Jones

KFC is taking its “finger lickin’ good” slogan a bit too far. The fried chicken fast food chain made two “edible” fingernail polishes for its fans in Hong Kong.

Teaming up with ad agency Ogilvy & Mather and food experts at McCormick, two shades were created that incorporate the restaurant’s top secret blend of 11 herbs and spices: Original Recipe and Hot & Spicy.

Apple Stole My Music

“The software is functioning as intended,” said Amber.

“Wait,” I asked, “so it’s supposed to delete my personal files from my internal hard drive without asking my permission?”

“Yes,” she replied.

Alice Isn’t Dead

by Dan Jones

I recently started listening to this new podcast by the folks who brought us Welcome to Night Vale. In Alice Isn’t Dead, we follow the story of a woman on the road, talking to another woman who isn’t there. In each episode, we learn a bit more of her story, as she tries to escape the horrors slowly encroaching on her.

spreading linguistic misinformation

by lynneguist
Dan Jones

Excellent

Today's xkcd is timely...





...considering that Cambridge Linguistics Extra (at Linguist List) yesterday published a blogpost by me on linguistic misinformation. Click through for more...

The post is a promotion for my series in the journal English Today. So far, half of the series has been published--an article on the cognitive biases that colo(u)r our view of other Englishes and one on whether it makes sense to speak of 'British' or 'American' English. The series has allowed me to practi{c/s}e expressing ideas for the book I'm writing.

Ye Olde Medieval Tube Map

by Jason Kottke

Medieval Tube Map

Londonist created a map of the London Underground with station names contemporary to medieval London.

The medieval period spans something like 1,000 years, covering the centuries from the Roman withdrawal around 400 AD to the rise of the Tudors in the late 15th century. Place names, of course, changed greatly over this time and those on the map were not necessarily all in use at the same time. Where applicable, we've favoured spellings used in the Domesday survey of 1086. Elsewhere, we've taken the earliest recorded version of a place name.

'OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS' CALLED IT!

by MRTIM
Over the years there have been lots of declarative statements and wild predictions in this comic strip. Usually they turn out to be nuthin' but every so often, one comes true! Take for example this gem from March 16, 2015 where this young man accurately predicted the return of the greatest Hi-C flavor of all time: ECTO COOLER! (All right. We all knew it was inevitable that they'd bring it back at SOME point. But still...)

A Safe Haven Baby Box where mothers can drop off unwanted newborns anonymously with emergency help moments away is now available in northeastern Indiana.

The padded, climate-controlled container was dedicated Tuesday at the Woodburn Volunteer Fire Department about 15 miles east of Fort Wayne near the Ohio state line. It’s on an exterior wall of the fire station.

How to Speak Texan

The most vicious insult in the Texas lexicon (or the Texicon if you will) is to call someone a damn fool. If you use this epithet, you’re not joking. You think the person in question is an idiot. Not just any idiot, but the kind of idiot who should probably be kept in a quiet room with soft walls and nothing but crayons so they can’t hurt themselves or others with their damn fool ways. This phrase is usually accompanied by quite a bit of head shaking in disbelief that anyone could possibly be so stupid.

‘He started crying like a little baby’: 11-year-old brags about shooting suspected home invader

Chris fired a warning shot. The man, who was carrying a stolen laundry hamper, began running. Chris emptied the magazine, firing off 12 shots by the time the intruder neared a fence in the family’s front yard, the 11-year-old told the station.

The final shot hit the man in the leg as he was hopping the fence, the boy said.

“I shot through the hamper he was carrying,” Chris said. “It was a full metal jacket bullet. It went straight through the back of his leg. He started crying like a little baby.”
