Atlas Shrugged

Posted by Notcot on Jul 13, 2012 in Cult Film
Atlas Shrugged

Ayn Rand’s epochal novel first published in 1957 has been a bestseller for more than four decades as well as an intellectual landmark. It is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world–and did. Was he a destroyer or the greatest of liberators? Why did he have to fight his battle not against his enemies but against those who needed him most–and his hardest battle against the woman he loved? What is the world’s motor–and the motive power of every man? Tremendous in its scope this novel presents an astounding panorama of human life–from the productive genius who becomes a worthless playboy…to the great steel industrialist who does not know that he is working for his own destruction…to the philosopher who becomes a pirate…to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad…to the lowest track worker in her Terminal tunnels. Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains charged with towering questions of good and evil Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s masterpiece. It is a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller.

Suck UK Splat Stan

Posted by Notcot on Aug 2, 2010 in Gadgets

Average Rating: 4.5 / 5 (5 Reviews)

Product Description
You’re a natural born killer and there’s no escaping that awful biological truth. Your ancestors spent most of their time hunting mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers before dragging them back to a grateful Raquel Welch at the back of her cave. Now you can live-out myriad caveman fantasies by bringing death and destruction to poor Stan on a daily basis. And he, in return, will save your desk from becoming stained with coffee rings. And that sounds tikkety-boo to us. Those delightfully-named chaps at Suck UK have been innovating again. And this time they have pioneered the world’s first silicone rubber road-kill-cum-stain-stopper. It’s a visually impactful sight to see Stan for the first time. Fully thermoplastic and looking not unlike the late lamented Morph, Stan appears to have suffered death by crushing under a heavy falling object. But not from an anvil or grand piano. From your humble tea or coffee mug. Gosh. It’s an insult to call him merely a drinks coaster. For it is nothing short of his destiny to hold your mug rock steady on the desktop and absorb all manner of stains, which is why he’s fully washable to boot. We promise you’ll never look at a splatted roadside hedgehog in the same way again.
