A modest proposal

A revolutionary new food supply, announced by author Mykle Hansen.

Some books, such as "Help! A Bear is Eating Me!" by Hansen, who is grouped in with the bizzaro fiction genre. And here's an Arduino-driven bicycle speed vest he created for Make Magazine # 19.

He missed a brilliant career in marketing. Thank God.

That was about ten minutes longer than it needed to be.

This is excellent. I've loved him since Help: A Bear is Eating Me, and since then I've really really enjoyed his book Rampaging Fuckers on the Shit Eating Planet with the Vomit Atmosphere. He's absolutely right: He makes up fake solutions to real problems. Very well done :)
