Handy way to skip all the intro crap on DVDs that is usually forced on you when you throw a disc in your player.

Fish and Banana Restraining Systems

Scientists have finally begun dedicating themselves to the food restraining problem that has left an embarrassingly large gap in mankind's scientific achievement for longer than science would like to admit. Times are changing; witness the fruit of the modern age: Banana Guard and Fish Noose Food Loop.
The Food Loop site claims the non-stick kitchen helper can withstand temperatures of up to 675° F / 357° C and is dishwasher and microwave chummy. The site also illustrates the gadget being used on a variety of items, including a seemingly communicative fish. The Banana Guard, on the other hand, is for people who treat their lunch bags the way gorillas treat luggage in the wild.
