    Brando Hard Drive Dock versus iPod Shuffle


    Roses for Shuffle: Far more portable. Connects directly to iTunes. Designed by Apple in California.


    Roses for Brando: Costs less, and actually has volume control buttons.

    I'm not even sure what the hell to think about this thing. If you use it next to your computer, obviously the built-in speakers are useless.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I read a study once (someone actually funded this!) that said that men, in a controlled study, who watched breasts for 30 mins a day are happier and have lower blood pressure, etc. They listed all these benefits (someone actually FUNDED this!) Another unrelated, but equally funny study, the effects of second hand pot smoke. They put 10 people in a very small room with the equiv of like 20 joints burning and the reseachers seemed surprised when the test subjects got a contact buzz (someone actually funded these!). Who says science is boring?

    Hands do it just as well, and maintain a constant temperature. With the built-in voice command, you can also make requests. Massage perhaps.

    Breasts are one of the LAST parts of a womans body that will get cold, so if they are chilled, this isnt going to help the root problem, put on a parka. (And we all know what happens when laydees get cold, do you really want that to be "fixed"?)

    @Curves: I read on some website that heating your breasts was a way to increase bloodflow and certain hormone production to that area, which is done to promote breast tissue growth. This is one of those "natural enhancement" methods which may or may not work better than prayer, etc. I say its the thought that counts!

    @ludwigk: I seriously doubt that. Let's back up and look at the claims that website made dude. Heating a breast would cause thermoreceptors in its tissue to alert the hypothalamus that changes in external environment are introducing error in the breast temperature set point. In the interest of homeostasis, what does the brain command at this point? That's right, a return to normality. Therefore, the hypothalamus would order an immediate vaso-constriction of epithelial blood vessels (in an attempt to reduce heat transfer rate and bring the breast tissues temperature down), serving to REDUCE bloodflow, not INCREASE it. Therefore, all that shit you read is, effectively, bullshit. I fucking hate marketers.

    @TheSonOfKrypton: Gee genius, maybe you should know some basic things about thermoregulation. Constriction occurs in outer vessels when it is cold to keep the warm blood in more interior vessels and hence preserve heat. When it is warm the exterior vessels dilate to release heat to the environment. I would say: "duh, haven't you ever taken a warm shower and noticed that your skin turns pinkish/reddish?" What do you think is causing that genius? Leave basic physiology for students of 6th grade "health" class and maybe you won't make such a fool of yourself.
