New Sport Invented: Loopyball a.k.a Bubble Soccer or Bubble Football
"Bubble soccer or football if you're from Europe has spread to Italy, providing us with this totally amusing clip of guys smashing into each other, bouncing around and rolling across the floor in inflatable, Zorb-like balls. As much as we love watching these big guys chase after balls, it's even more fun watching them bounce around upside down with their legs stuck in the air. Oh, the indignityForget faking an injury while you're ensconced in this contraption, but is anyone keeping score? We're laughing too hard to keep tally."

Vitamins Lack Clear Health Benefits, May Pose Risks - Forbes
If you needed more evidence that many may be wasting their money on vitamin supplementation:
Vitamins Lack Clear Health Benefits, May Pose Risks - Forbes:
"“Although available evidence does not rule out small benefits or harms or large benefits or harms in a small subgroup of the population,” the writers conclude, “we believe that the case is closed — supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful. These vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.”"

Hey, Cyclists: This LED-Powered Backpack Could Save Your Life

| English: A commuter cyclist in the London morning rush hour, kitted out in specialist cycling gear (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
"How, then, to negotiate the two different, but equally vital forms of transport? Seoul-based designer Lee Myungsu thinks he has an answer. A car owner who often commutes to his studio by bike, Myungsu devised a backpack that amplifies a cyclist’s visibility on the road. The SEIL bag (pronounced Zail) lights its wearer up and indicates to surrounding traffic in which direction the cyclist is headed--no dweeby, though very important, hand signals required."

Where to Buy the Best Socks Online, Part 1: Power Socks | Modern Fellows
A note on sock length and dress attire
"Some traditionalists will scoff at the notion of wearing mid-calf socks with a suit. PutThisOn, for example, instructs that, “with anything like a coat and tie, there should be no other option but over-the-calf.”
It’s a hard rule to follow, as many manufacturers have focused on designing mid-calf or shorter length options, including dress socks, to accommodate men’s preferences as well as for cost reasons. (Longer socks can add 25% or more to their cost of manufacturing.)
A better general rule is that socks should not be so short as to permit skin to show between your sock and trouser when sitting. High-quality mid-calf socks — including all of the mid-calf options reviewed in this article — stay put and ought to be appropriate for most men to pair with suits."
