    Why are so many zombies in bikinis in dead island

    I would figure the zombie panic spread fast but not so fast that people on one end of the island didn't hear about it in time to get dressed

    Because the development name for one of the skills was "Feminist Whore".

    And they released a special edition called "zombie bait" that shipped with a bust of a mutilated female torso.

    That should give you your why.

    there is a nearly deflated ball that expands when squeezed attached to one of the balls.

    distract from the ball that has the deflated tertiary ball. before putting it in the targets hand. wow them with the initial slight of hand of making the second ball disappear so they don't realize another ball is in their hand. then they open and both expand.

    Nah, it's far more likely it's only two balls and he never passes the one he takes to his left hand and just puts it in the person's hand when he hands them the first ball.

    I'm not sure it looks like he palms the other ball from the way he positions his knuckles and keeps his hand out of camera view.

    you could be right though. that trick would be more impressive but have a higher failure rate. editing magic enters the scene and i have no idea.

    So I buy a lot of bagged spinach, and since I can't eat a pound of spinach in one go, I usually hold it shut with a chip clip.

    My chip clips were pretty old and really cheap and flimsy they kept losing springs and finally just started breaking. Like I'd squeeze it open and the plastic would just snap.

    I got really distressed by this and kept looking for alternatives! I taped a bag shut for a while with Scotch tape.

    It took me a couple of days to just go "oh...I should buy new chip clips." And I found some really nice-looking heavy-duty ones on Amazon that will hopefully last me many years for like, seven bucks.

    I wonder how many other of the minor frustrations in my life could be bettered by my just saying "fuck it" and buying something nice on amazon.

    you could be right though. that trick would be more impressive but have a higher failure rate. editing magic enters the scene and i have no idea.

    Every time they show the full trick that I saw he takes one ball from their hand in his right, motions passing it to his left but doesn't open his left hand to show that he does it and then uses his right in a non-open palm to grab the second ball and place it in the other person's hand and then quickly closes that hand. I'm pretty sure the ball never leaves his right hand.

    Nice and smooth though.

    i am often reminded of an anecdote i read somewhere

    i cannot verify it's accuracy

    but the anecdote was that one of the behaviors characteristic of self-made millionaires is that they buy more expensive shoes than either poors or inherited-millionaires

    but they are more likely to get them resoled multiple times, thereby saving money in the long run

    This is totally what I would do. I have internalized some weird attitudes (I think mostly from my stepmom, whose parents were deathly poor) that spending money is basically tantamount to moral weakness. New housewares? What's wrong with half-broken hand-me-downs? How can you justify this extravagance?

    I mean I am pretty poor but I can afford seven dollar chip clips and the savings in mental health will be huge. And yet I felt like Brewster's Millions or something clicking the order button.
