Glow in the Dark Bubble Bath – why not enjoy it with someone you've taken a shine too...

how can you beat glow in the dark bubble bath?!?


"You sink into a warm bath, the scent of vanilla and honey wafts through the air, pleasuring your senses – you sip your glass of champagne and bask in the soft glow of the candles. Hang on a minute...you didn't light any candles!

Who needs candles? You've got Glow in the Dark Bubble Bath. So much fun you'll want to share it with more than just your rubber ducky.

Glow in the Dark Bubble Bath radiates a soothing soft glow. It's not quite bright enough to read – but hey, if all you're interested in is the Da Vinci Code – perhaps you'd better save it for a more appropriate night.

Ten minutes before you run your bath, just place your bottle in front of a bright light to charge the pigments. Before you know it, you'll be in a lather of luminosity.

Glow in the Dark Bubble Bath with its vanilla and honey scent is yummy for one, delicious for two – and when it comes to Valentine's Day, Hen's Nights, Halloween, Birthdays or even Christmas, nothing holds a candle to this glimmering gift.

There's no unsightly ring around the bath – but you might find a rather otherworldly glow that'll freak out your flatmates!

A single bottle will get you up to four baths, the twin pack will double your fun and the party pack, well now, that'll really get the party glowing with four bottles of radiance ready to rage!

Glow in the Dark Bubble Bath – why not enjoy it with someone you've taken a shine too...rub-a-dub-dub, get yourself in my tub! "

"Guard you Game Boys kids, here come Grandma

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Unbeknownst to many of her peers, 70-year-old Barbara Sainte-Hilaire, MTV's "senior" video game correspondent and star of the blog "Old Grandma Hardcore," is a sensation in video game circles.

A video gamer for three decades, the foul-mouthed granny who favors role-playing games and admittedly stinks at sports titles, says she indulges her habit for about 10 hours a day -- significantly more than her 23-year-old grandson, Timothy.

She has an extensive collection of game consoles that would turn many teenaged boys green with envy.

"This is my form of relaxation ... I'm not hurting anyone by swearing at our television," said Sainte-Hilaire.

While not all senior citizens possess Sainte-Hilaire's grit and gusto, many are discovering that video games are more than just entertainment. They reinforce what a variety of scientific studies suggest: that video games can help keep aging brains nimble, encourage social interaction and quicken reaction times.

According to the Entertainment Software Association, 25 percent of U.S. gamers are 50 and older -- the same group that is eligible to join the American Association of Retired Persons, whose own Web site (www.aarp.org) offers video games and articles about the benefits derived from playing them."

this grandma is really cool. check out her blog Old Grandma Hardcore.

hey, i think your lower intestine is ringing...

so get this!



"SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - Four prisoners in an El Salvador jail hid cellphones, a phone charger and spare chips in their bowels so they could coordinate crimes from their cells, prison officials said on Wednesday.

The four men, all gang members, wrapped their phones and accessories in plastic and inserted them into their rectums "far enough to reach their intestines," Ramon Arevalo, director of the maximum security Zacatecoluca prison, said.

Arevalo said the ruse was discovered during X-ray examinations following six weeks of investigations.

The men, members of the ultra-violent Mara Salvatrucha street gang and the first in El Salvador known to go to such lengths to make phone calls in jail, used the cellphones to manage robberies, blackmail and murders outside, Arevalo said."

GROSS!
