    That reminds me of the disguises that Jack Black and Mos Def wear in "Be Kind Rewind" when they're breaking into the power station. Hilarity!

    So THAT'S how Lindsay is getting around the no driving sentence. She wears a wool cap and paints the car after the crash so the cops don't see it. Brilliant!

    @GropedByChuckECheese_GitEmSteveDave: Do you just have that link on standby to post it whenever you need it or something? The last couple times I've seen you post it I clicked to watch it (cause I watch it every time and it never gets old) the video has an error. I'm starting to think you just post it without checking to make sure it still works.

    @G-Ram is missing the preview button. :(: Damn, you're right! I hope I was smart enough to save the video. I'll have to post it to my Photobucket account. But yeah, I had it saved in my bookmarks, but I never checked it recently. Thanks for the heads up.

    I won't be impressed until the inside is filled with a liquid that won't freeze easily, but can be chilled to further keep your beer cold.

    I don't get how this is an optical illusion, its just an upside down bottle inside a glass. There's no illusion in that; if it looked like the beer was coming out of the bottom of the bottle while taking sips from the top that would be an illusion.

    @habib15: It's like the "two faces" illusion. Except with this one, after you drink enough, the question becomes whether you see an intact glass or a glass smashed against someone's face.

    FAIL. It's bad enough that most barware screws you out of beer; I don't need one that screws me out of beer while being "clever".
