Oh. My. God. It's shockingly evocative.

Right away I'm getting ideas...voodoo doll knife blocks!

Oh yeah I saw this and immediately started getting the plastic out, but then wondered - is a block like this potentially bad for knives? It looks like it puts a lot of pressure on one part of the blade, but maybe it grips it somehow.

Great find! Any idea how much it costs (a lot, is my guess) and how one might buy it?

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

I stopped in Sur la Table today and saw something that reminded me of the Voodoo knife holder:

The Ouch Toothpick holder (approx $6.95):

FRED has lots of other cool kitchen & table novelties, too.

enjoy!
