Or, 'The Greatest Thing to Slice Bread'
What can't this thing do, indeed—besides handle DVDs or CDs or support two USB devices, that is. But I digress.
Some folks in Germany have found that Apple's MacBook Air can slice through flesh and, more in tune with our sensibilities here at Serious Eats, can handle your bread-slicing needs [Google Translation].
I suppose it would come in handy if you're working at a cafe and are in a bind for a knife. I doubt this would void the warranty, but I certainly wouldn't use the machine to slather on butter. [via Boing Boing Gadgets]

's Baggers, a restaurant in Nuremberg, Germany, claims to have "reinvented the restaurant" with their rollercoaster-like food delivery system in which "freshly prepared, delicious meals and drinks ordered per touch screen are transported on metallic tracks directly to your table." No really, the "futuristic restaurant system" is called RollercoasterTable®. Watch a video of the restaurant in action over at the BBC. To think that I've never wanted my food to be brought to me on metallic tracks...until now. [via Boing Boing Gadgets]
The lobsters escaped form their poorly secured crates, then "scurried across the floor of the supermarket and squeezed through the metal shutters covering the front of the store. The front door had been left open by mistake. . . Passers by alerted the police at 1:45 a.m. reporting a large number of the animals heading down the street."
