Get the glass
09 7th, 2007

If you haven’t already played through the game at Get The Glass, go do it.  It’s probably the coolest, most intricate, well-made web game I’ve seen.  It’s part of a viral campaign by the "Got Milk?" people.  Now they’re auctioning off the glass (the purported last glass of milk on earth within the game).  It all goes to charity and eBay has a whole page dedicated to the auction.  Check it out here:

Kramer’s hot tub
09 4th, 2007

This is the actual hot tub used on several episodes of Seinfeld.  Notably the one with Jean Paul (where he almost misses the race), and the one where Kramer entertains a group of Japanese business men.

Making hairstory
09 3rd, 2007

If you’ve got any antique hairbrushes laying around, you might want to check them for famous hairs.  Apparently hair is a collectible now.  Don’t ask me how they verified it, but one of George Washington’s hairs is on eBay.  I don’t know what I’d do with a hair, but apparently someone wants it.  Currently bidding is at $8,300 with several days to go.
