    Drink-mixing typewriter lets you pick your poison with keystrokes


    Drinking and typing isn't always a great idea. It can lead to misspelled words, grammatically incorrect sentences, and incoherent dialogue. But there's one instance when drinking and typing go hand-in-hand — when you're using a typewriter that mixes drinks. That's exactly what the intrepid inventor over at Morskoiboy has crafted, and it looks like the ultimate party accessory.

    Using an impressive array of syringes and clear plastic tubing, the machine turns each keystroke into a small amount of liquid that is then dispensed into your drinking receptacle. As the user strikes different keys, the drink is mixed in equal proportions. While pumping the various concoctions, each letter that is chosen appears on a digital readout that is rendered using the liquid you're pumping.

    Morskoiboy put together a cool time-lapse construction video of the tasty typewriter, and while the build appears to take place in a matter of minutes, we imagine the original build was a bit more complicated. For those of you interested in building your own version, you can check out the creator's blog, complete with tips for where to obtain the necessary materials for the project.

      By Tony Jimenez VIRGINIA WATER, England (Reuters) - Former European Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal drew on the memory of his 2003 spat with Padraig Harrington as he urged fellow Spaniard Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods to settle their differences. Garcia and 14-times major winner Woods have always had a frosty relationship and the Spaniard had to issue an apology on Wednesday after making a "fried chicken" jibe at the world number one at the European Tour's Player of the Year dinner the previous day. ...

      At first I thought the IRS scandal was leaked to distract from the Benghazi scandal. But that didn't make sense because the IRS scandal is a more obvious abuse of power than the White House lying about the murder of four Americans in Libya.Before I had resolved which scandal was distracting from which, we found out the Department of Justice was spying on The Associated Press -- not to protect national security, but to prevent the AP from scooping the White House. Then, this week, it broke that the Department of Justice was also spying on Fox News for reasons that remain unexplained. ...
