Here’s an Eric Cartman-approved gadget. With a smart ass name like Traffic Prompter, you know these sirens are going to be put to good misuse. At $16 each, they each sport a magnetic base, making a pair ideal for robbery, rape and exploitation of the law. We don’t approve of misuse for personal gain but perhaps you could throw them in your party room to gain access to some panties.

Remember, try anything funny and someone will take a picture of you and will send it to the police via MMS.

For those not familiar with the Dead Sea Scrolls, they are the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 AD. So, it’d be nice to try and preserve them in any way possible. What better way to insure its longevity than the immortal internet? Now, not only is the oldest Hebrew record of the Old Testament discovered to date, it’s now the first ever to be put on public display on the Internet.

“The project will involve the documentation of all of the thousands of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments belonging to about 900 manuscripts, and placing them in an Internet databank that will be available to the public,” the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said.

On top of that, infrared and color imaging scientists will help improve the quality and restore worn down fragments that have broken off from the original piece. Let’s hear it for the preservation of the Jewish faith. Thanks JDate! Erm… I mean, thanks Israel Antiquities Authority!
