Ipod Ouija

Ghosts, gremlins, goblins and their spooky ilk have lots to answer for. They're single handedly responsible for the rise of a movie genre for which the phrase straight to DVD was invented: the horror movie.

Without these scary spectres, there would be no Halloween, which in turn would mean no nasty trick or treating, no stink bombs through your letterbox, no monkey nuts clogging up the kitchen and your family pets life expectancy being vastly extended.

On the positive side, at least they're not vain. Despite their infamy, creatures of the dark rarely make any concessions to fashion. Frankenstein never thought of donning a cashmere scarf to cover his neck extrusions and Dracula paid no attention when fashionistas insisted that brown was the new black.

When it comes to technology, things are slightly different. Apparently bored with the dusty seclusion of basement s?ances, modern day ancient spirits are choosing to manifest themselves in consumer electronics, namely the Ipod.

According to today's website, ouija boardists claim that 'the iPod can not only provide the traditional letters and numbers of the board, but spirits are now able to pick songs, or playlists, to convey their messages.'

Yes, believe it or not, your innocent-looking Nano could now be used as a key to the gate to the world beyond. Placing your fingers on the Click Wheel and reciting some occultish type chants could lead to messages to spirits communicating through the medium of song.

The malignant spirit using the Ipod Ouija can only work with the tunes at their disposal, which could cause a problem with a limited playlist. For example, imagine if the iPod consists only of Kylie Minogue's greatest hits.

How difficult would it be to instil The Locomotion or I Should Be So Lucky with any meaningful sinister intent?

Pet Dog Costumes

Halloween has become a time of celebration but for most dogs it's a time of trepidation. In the land of hooch, the spontaneous sound of exploding fireworks must sound like the world coming asunder.

For many dogs, Halloween represents the rough equivalent of being airlifted into Basra. So, why make things worse?

Well, if you're of a sadistic bent you could visit the pet dog costumes website where you can choose from a number of garish outfits ranging from plain ridiculous to downright ridiculous.

There's the hot dog pet costume, the nun dog costume, the bride or groom dog costume and finally, if you want to get that preppy prehistoric pet look, the Jurassic Bark!
