Aside from the fact that ol’ Kittiwat is a probably a child-murdering weirdo, I have to hand it to him for his realistic-looking body part bread. But, I wonder if making food that resembles things you don’t want to look at—let alone eat—is really the best business decision. Since his family makes their livelihood on selling their bread, this is how I imagine most conversations with his father sound like:
Dad: Hey Kittiwat, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second.
Kittiwat: Not now. Making deformity.
Dad: Yeah, that’s actually what I wanted to discuss. Those bread sculptures are very realistic, son. But people aren’t really into eating…ya know, gruseome-looking body parts.
Kittiwat: What? Who say?
Dad: Well, people like to look at your disgusting creations, but they don’t really buy them. We have no money left for flour. Your sister starved to death last night and now she looks like one of your sculptures. The funeral is tomorrow.
Kittiwat: I take corpse. Use for model. Make more bread.
Dad: I hate you, Kittiwat.

Sign of the times (and yes, it's getting that bad). Blockquote and list via Mashable...
Crude oil prices keep breaking through record high prices, and it is quickly reflecting itself at the fuel pumps. About the only thing you can do is try to find the cheapest prices, but you can waste as much in gas driving around as you will by finding it, and that’s where gas pricing location sites come in handy. Just log in and see where the best prices are, and save yourself all of that driving around. We’ve covered the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom for you, so start price hunting!

Table the label & get your next "authentic" jersey from Fantastic-Goods. Slim pickin's for MLB, NHL, NBA, and FIFA fans. But all 32 NFL teams are available in one form or another for $36.00 (including shipping). Tip & blockquote via "Catfish" Garner...
Take a look at this website. They make knockoff Jerseys that are REALLY good! I bought two and both are close to real jerseys! The kicker is they only charge $36 total per jersey shipping included! These normally go for about $200 retail and again for knockoffs they are really good! Take a look they have Football, Baseball and some Hockey. For the price you really can’t beat it!
