Can you swallow our grand prize?

The first thing I thought when I saw the new iPod shuffle was not--ooh, I want one--but--hmm, choking hazard. Actually, it is so tiny I thought it would probably just go straight down. Well, the folks at Gizmodo must have been thinking along the same lines because they found a scantily clad sword swallower (those italics are a warning) to test it out.


Did it work? No. So, rest easy 27 Things participants. If you win the iPod shuffle you probably won't be able to swallow the thing (but no promises here--where there is a will and all).

Anyway, now that that issue is sorted I can move on to simply wanting that shuffle...

  1. I was looking at that picture of the sword swallower when someone came into my cubicle. You almost got me in trouble.

  3. Watched the video with sick fascination - can't imagine why anyone would want to swallow ... but it's good to know babies are safe!
