Enjoy Diggnation today with Simpler Times; the beer for when times were simpler. Then join us as we watch some super sexy CPR, the latest happenings with teleportation, laugh at people getting shot in the face with cupcakes, review some of the world's worst (or best) inventions, and a video showing Bill Gates telling Steve Jobs about the iPad first!

Super Sexy Way To Learn CPR

If this was the way CPR was taught for real, we'd all be certified. Watch the video and learn CPR; it will better yourself and society.

Quantum Teleportation Achieved Over 10 Miles of Free Space

First of all, mklopez, thank you for submitting this story. Alex attempts to enlighten Kevin and the Diggnation audience about the recent teleportation success between photons over a free space distance of nearly ten miles. Glenn chimes in to explain that in the early stages of teleportation, it will just be more or less brain swapping.

Worlds WORST Inventions!

Yes, these are real. Real stupid. But seriously, these are almost too dumb to believe, but check them out because they're hilarious. The list includes a Revision3 favorite: the handerpants. The list also includes a White Castle candle (kinda awesome?), a wine glass large enough to hold an entire bottle of wine (very awesome), and a toilet area gold green, for a little putting when you're on the pooper.

Viewer Emails

Regarding the finger push-ups from episode 255, Ralph lets us know that even pros have issues completing this task, so Kevin & Alex shouldn't feel bad that they don't have the tendon and ligament strength to pull it off. Thanks, Ralph.
