Dexter Blood Splattered Beverage Coasters

Fans of Showtime’s television crime drama about a serial-killing forensics expert, Dexter, will certainly appreciate the officially licensed Dexter Blood Splattered Coasters available at ThinkGeek. Made of see-through acrylic, this set of six beverage coasters housed in a wooden box will add a dose of dark humor to any home.

Let visitors to your house know that splatters of any kind are unacceptable. You will not turn the other cheek, you will slice it! What civilized person puts a cup glistening with condensation on a bare wooden table? That’s why we have this set of blood-spattered Dexter coasters. (To put cups on, not to slice people with.) Can you imagine slicing someone open with a dull-edged coaster? That would take a great deal of effort.

really? way to fight the sterotypes.......

Long Liyuan, 49, owned a forestry company and was meeting with Hunag Guang about leasing a piece of woodland. (BBC reports that there was also an embezzlement dispute between the two men.) After lunch, according to the Chinese police report, Long felt dizzy and sick, though a third man, who had eaten only a small portion of the stew because it tasted “bitter,” was fine. Long went into cardiac arrest and died the same day.

And it’s also environmentally-friendly as its two motors are powered by a hydrogen fuel cell — with zero carbon emissions.
One of the motors inflates a “skirt” around the vehicle to lift it off the ground, while the other drives it forward and controls direction.

Super Realistic Steve Jobs Action Figure

By EDW Lynch on January 3, 2012
