If you're aiming for more "delicious" than "protective" for your iPod cases, there's nothing that does it better than this Galbi (like Korean BBQ) Pod Rare case from Japan. It's as if the creators tapped into our collective consciousness of combining delicious meat with delicious tunes. Just staring at these finely chiseled pieces of marbled beef makes us want to get set to eat some shabu shabu or hot pot tonight. Careful to keep any beefed up iPods away from your pets.

Vile Mortadella Rug Gives Excuse to Say 'Hide the Sausage' in a Headline
Number two in an occasional series of crazy things to do with meat, this is Mortadella, one of four sausage-inspired rugs. The others in the series are (below, from left) Blood Sausage, Bierschinken and Salami. Made in Germany and available online, I think I can safely say that it's one of the Wurst rugs I've ever seen. *Sound of single gunshot followed by large thud* [Wurstteppich]

Mankind Keeps Reaching Higher: Laser-Etched Lunchmeat
It might not be the stunning achievement of brilliant scientific engineering that is the cheeseburger in a can, but the indomitable spirit of man means we'll never stop trying to top it. The latest attempt: Laser-etched lunchmeats. Classier than savagely severing dead animal flesh into pieces with a laser, Mleak's laser-etched art brings refined aesthetics to the table of processed meatstuffs. Okay, searing a pig onto a block of bologna is actually pretty tasteless, even if it is partially composed of chicken meat. [MAKE] More »

We are not strangers to a crazy BBQ design or two, but this BFG BBQ—think Doom weapon, not friendly giant—takes the proverbial biscuit. Spotted on Flickr, and the work of an unknown Texan, the grill stands 19-feet long, has a 36" x 60" primary grill and a 12" x 36" secondary grill. The handle houses a fire box, while the front sight and range star logo enclose dampers. Check out the gallery for some more awesome shots.

Google Maps Catches Sophisticated High School Football Field Prank
There's not much to add to this other than "ha ha, you got penis'ed", but we're somewhat curious as to how this thing went down. Was this a prank from a rival school? Was it self-inflicted? Is this their mascot? (Go Fighting Wangs!) Is it still there? We suppose it's pretty apropos that the school is located on Shaft Road. [Google Maps - Thanks Daniel!]

Oregon Scientific AW131: Talking Meat Thermometer for Meat Heads
We've seen remote BBQ and oven thermometers before, but now here's one that can annoy you and all your friends by talking your ear off. Actually, it doesn't have a lot to say unless that steak you're cooking is done. More »

Talking Thermometer Won't Guilt You For Eating Wilbur
If your meat could talk, it would probably scream in a high pitched voice about the cruelty of slaughterhouses, the pain of being cooked on the grill, and the indignity of being eaten by a chubby guy in an A1-stained "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt. Which is why there's no technology out there to give a voice to the silent meat population, natch. More »

SensorfreshQ Tells You Whether You'll Die From That Beef
This SensorfreshQ answers the question bachelors and fast food enthusiasts always ask themselves: "will I die if I eat this meat?" It works by analyzing the air around the meat, detecting the amount of bacteria and displaying the levels on an easy three light meter. If it's green it's safe, if it's yellow you have a day, and if it's red you should probably throw it away. More »

BBQ Spatula with Built-In Meat Thermometer
Some of us are not exactly talented in the kitchen or around the grill, and sometimes it's a little difficult to tell when something is done just by "feel." That's where this $20 BBQ Spatula with a cooking thermometer attached can be a lifesaver, telling you if all those creepy crawlies are cooked out of that prize-winning chicken you're grilling. Poke the probe on the heel of the spatula into that meat, and you'll get a digital readout as well as a scale showing you ideal safe-cooked internal temperatures for beef, lamb, pork, chicken and turkey.

Flavored Food Skewers Take Guesswork Out of BBQ
As real men would know (not that I've ever claimed to be one), getting meats to taste just right, infused with a particular flavor, is an absolute nightmare when barbecuing. Sensing a way to make a couple of dollars, Callisons Inc. has come out with pre-seasoned skewers. Once soaked in the liquid of your choice, be it wine, beer or water for the Ned Flanders wannabes, the skewers are then thrust into the meat, where they gently release their sweet flavor. That's right, we keep the Fourth of July family friendly. More »

Test Tube Burgers by 2009?
A team of researchers hope to create lab-grown meat by 2009 that smells and tastes just like the real thing. The ability to grow small quantities of muscle using stem cells is routinely done by scientists, but now they're looking to bring mass quantities of synthetic meat to supermarkets. One of those researchers, Paul Kosnik, is growing self-assembled muscle in the lab:"All of the technology exists today to make ground meat products in vitro. We believe the goal of a processed meat product is attainable in the next five years if funding is available and the R&D is pursued aggressively."The researchers say the first artificial meat products will be minced meat that tastes just like ground beef or sausage. They're also saying that a single stem cell could theoretically produce all of the meat consumed in the world for a year. More »

iMeat: Heartburn for iPod Fans
If you got a Video iPod for the holidays this year, you should be thanking your lucky stars it didn't come from the Hawaiian Keeaumoku Wal-Wart. Rachel Cambra, a mom and an employee of that Wal-Mart store, gave her son a Christmas gift which she believed to be a Video iPod she had put on layaway. But when the big moment arrived on Christmas morning and the present was ripped open, there was no iPod to be found. Just a wrapped-up piece of meat. Yes, I said meat. Not sure what kind of meat, but the fact that it was wrapped made it a little more palatable. Wal-Mart promises to replace the iPod as soon as possible and Apple doesn't seem to have a comment. And Rachel, maybe you can make it up with a nice Christmas kebab? Just sayin'. More »
