iPod smoothies, anyone?

Will it blend?There are many questions you might ask yourself in life: “how many roads must I walk down?”; “does this shirt look stupid?”; and, of course, the eternal “will it blend?” Let me save you some time: the answers are “42,” “very much so,” and “hell yeah.”

If you’re not familiar with the “blending” question, let me introduce you to the Will it Blend? site, featuring Tom Dickson. Tom and his trusty Blendtec blender have blended many an item, from chicken to golf clubs. And now Tom has added to the repertoire his own 4G iPod. Will the iPod blend? The suspense is killing me.

Unfortunately, not even Apple’s industrial design can withstand the forces of Blendtec’s Total Blender, and the iPod is reduced to a smoking pile of dust. We hardly knew you, Tom’s iPod. Still, we are slightly heartened by the fact that come December 15th (tomorrow!), we will be able to bid on you on eBay. You can’t go home again, but I guess you can shop there.

At the risk of being totally off-topic... nice Guide reference, Dan.

WHY! I honestly cringed when I saw this! And people wonder why America gets criticised for it's cunsumerism. "Hmmm... I want a new $250 iPod, so I'll just pulverise my old one that cost me $300." Any charity on earth would be grateful to have the $100 -$150 that iPod would have sold for on eBay. Such a waste!
