Zombies!!! Run!!!
I’ve had the same New Year’s resolution for the past 20 years: start exercising. I should clarify that my only desire to exercise is to firm up, it has absolutely nothing to do with being healthy.

Urban eXperiment

They claim responsibility for 15 capers in which they conducted covert restorations by accessing the city’s city-wide network of tunnels. It sounds [...]

Super Slick Umbrella-ella-ella
Finally an umbrella that defies the rain. The new Senz umbrella looks as aerodynamic as a Stealth Jet and ostensibly cuts through the rain and wind like one. The umbrella is designed and constructed to withstand 100kph winds and won’t flip inside-out. Its design is modern yet practical. The longer spokes at the back keeps [...]
