So my coworker showed me the best website EVER.

[Will it blend](http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe)

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put 40 pens, or a couple of Barbies, or even a crowbar in a blender. Well wonder no more.

Now I am sure that everybody has already heard of it, since I am horribly behind the times, but in the slight chance I am not I thought I would share.

Yep. And you can even [buy the remnants on eBay](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300061186098)! Better hurry though, only 2 days left to bid and it’s already going for more than a brand knew (and still whole) one!

The ultimate question is whether a Blendtec blender can blend another Blendtec blender.

[/QUOTE]

The ultimate question is which one would win if both blenders, placed blade to blade and pushed against one another, were simultaneously turned on and allowed to blend each other. My guess is that either they’d both reach a stalemate and burn out, or they’d rip a hole in the fabric of space/time and annihilate the planet.

Hey, that gives me [an idea](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=400656)!

Sweet shit! And it even lets me watch the videos at work. Most videos are blocked at work.  
Although Trogdor finds a way.

“Gypped.” As in "ripped off by gypsies. It’s derogatory, in case you have hordes of Romany living near you… 😉

The marble one is actually under the “rake handle” title, and the rake handle is under the marble title, so maybe it’s the same with the other videos as well? 😕

Seeing that I am part Romanian do I get a free pass?  
And oddly enough didn’t realize the origin.

What’s wrong with that? Now if it went for more than a new iPod AND the blender, then that would be stupid.

There’s something disturbing about that blender guy. You just know the episodes they can’t show are the ones where he blended kittens and fluffy chicks.

You mentioned kittens. You know the rules. Where are the photos?

On second thought, never mind…
