Vegas uses computers to nab card counters
As if Vegas casinos don't already rake in enough money from suckers, now they are developing technology to automatically detect people who count cards. The anti-card-counter system uses cameras to watch players and keep track of the actual "count" of the cards, the same way a player would. It also ... More.
Hallow'en is safe, your kids are safe, the only scary thing is the warnings
Lenore "Free Range Kids" Skenazy has a stirring editorial in defense of Hallowe'en and kids in today's Huffpo: It's not that I'm cavalier about safety. I'm just a sucker -- so to speak -- for the facts. And the fact is: No child has been poisoned by a stranger's goodies on Halloween, ever, as far ... More.
GG Allin designer toy
Behold: A GG Allin designer toy! Specifically, this fine collectible is an "Extra Filthy Bloody Edition" Allin figurine "loaded into a full color "splatter" box." I remember watching a dub of Hated, the documentary about the transgressive punk performer, on a pre-release review VHS at Mark F's pad ... More.
Saturday Morning Science Experiment: B.F. Skinner Makes A Pigeon Do His Bidding
Another fun experiment you can try at home! Although, given pigeons' tendency to carry disease, I'd recommend training a cat, spouse or younger sibling. The video, sadly, winks out right as the expert is being brought in to explain Skinner's research. So, instead, enjoy this explanation of the pig... More.
Creative Commons Hallowe'en mix
Zoran sez, "The night before Halloween is known as Mischief Night because it is a time for young people to act out and do things that may get them in trouble with neighbors, with the law, and with satan. One of those pranks is downloading music illegally, usually in search of a fitting soundtrac... More.

This may be the lack off sleep coming off an 8 hour trip back from Chicago on the Megabus talking, but I would totally eat that. I would eat the heck out of that.
I haven't seen such disgusting efficiency since that "McGriddle" monstrosity.
Well, I came.
Look out state and county fairs of the United States- South Korea just served your ass.
I would.
I will admit, this is more appealing to me then fried butter, fried coke, or any of the other questionable-things-on-a-stick I've heard about in the last calendar year.
@Heartfruit: I agree. Though my first thought was "Oh look Boing Boing's been to the Texas State Fair."
this is a Good Thing.
Needs some bacon.
Ew.
That's just too international for me. My head just exploded. ;D
Dip that sucker in melted cheese and THEN you'd have something!
-- MrJM
not a corndog, but a ... spuddog? potatog?
That's called a "Spicy McHaggis" around here
I'd try it, but the bacon-wrapped hot dogs look even better. Cholesterol be damned!
Sadly, they're not that good. I was very much looking forward to eating one of these things when I visited Seoul a few years ago. I squeed about Magic Hot Dogs for weeks in anticipation.
Maybe I got a bad sample, but it was dry and tasteless and the letdown was so severe that I almost wept.
Embed a ketchup deposit in that baby and I'm there.
At least all the ingredients this time are things that are traditionally fried, but still not something I'd go for as I don't care for hot dogs.
There is only one fair food as far as I'm personally concerned, and that is funnel cake.
Looks way better than that nasty corn batter stuff.
Home-made version, anyone? I'm game to try it. I How does one bind the potato pieces to the sausage? I'm thinking a mixture of potato starch, egg yolk and MSG, myself...
These healthy treats were recently seen at the cafeteria in the New Research Building at Harvard Medical School.
Coming soon to an elementary school near you!
The Minnesota State fair still has deep friend candy bars (which I hear tell double as a heart-attack inducing suppository) The US isn't down for the count on junk-food yet!
Time for another episode of "How they do that!"
I live in Korea and I haven't seen these.
Just a shame that it's made of actual dog
I agree with all comments. Looks delicious, needs bacon and cheese, will keep an eye out for it in the US once I move there.
Quebecers will coat it with cheese (poutine) and call it 'pooch on a stick'
I am a big proponent of fried food in general and corn dogs specifically, but truthfully, this really doesn't look that appetizing to me.
Quebecers will coat it with cheese (poutine) and call it 'pooch on a stick'
EWW! Both "poutine" and "pooch on a stick" sound disturbingly gross!
The Minnesota Sate fair has this at the Blue Moon Cafe, although it looks different.
I have never been to the MN state fair but that looks DELICIOUS.

"Just a shame that it's made of actual dog"
Nah, I'm sure they cheaped out and mixed some cat in it too.
