Don’t put Super Glue in your mouth!

So, I was holding the object being glued in one hand and the tube of Super Glue in the other hand when suddenly I needed that other hand so I just held the capped tube of glue in my mouth. What I forgot was, that this being a brand new tube of glue, I had moments earlier used the pointy part of the cap to break the seal on the glue. Doh! Guess I’m going to be quiet this afternoon.

The Ipod + Nike thing

Can someone explain to me why Apple wants to put something in your shoe? I could understand if it was an ipod in the shoe that used bluetooth to send the sounds to wireless ear pieces but the pictures seem to imply that you still have an iPod nano, something plugged into the nano, and the thing in your shoe. What am I missing?

I get it! While running the device in your shoe reports your speed, distance, heart rate, etc. to you via the iPod Nano. I like it!
