			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the pleasure of getting to see The Watchmen this week. Having never read the graphic novel, the film was somewhat of a surprise to me. Although the super hero film genre has been exhausted lately, I still found the movie a fun escape. As Spider-man, Batman, and the X-men have proven, each successful super hero franchise comes with a load of merchandise. Here are a few of my favorites:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wbshop.com/WATCHMEN%3a-Rorschach-Blot-Ski-Mask/WMNCMKROR,default,pd.html"><img class="size-medium wp-image-516 alignnone" title="skimask" src="http://awesomebydefault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/skimask.jpg" alt="skimask" width="234" height="234" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.wbshop.com/WATCHMEN%3a-Rorschach-Blot-Ski-Mask/WMNCMKROR,default,pd.html">Rorschach Ski Mask</a><br />
This ink blot mask  is perfect to protect your identity while you&#8217;re robbing a bank&#8230;I mean fighting bad guys.</p>

Super heroes have to stay up late. Of course they need an all organic coffee.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wbshop.com/WATCHMEN:-Dr.-Manhattan-Lunchbox/WMNCLBDRM,default,pd.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-517 alignnone" title="lunchbox" src="http://awesomebydefault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/lunchbox.jpg" alt="lunchbox" width="260" height="260" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.wbshop.com/WATCHMEN:-Dr.-Manhattan-Lunchbox/WMNCLBDRM,default,pd.html">Dr. Manhattan Lunchbox</a><br />
Send your kid to school with a lunchbox that features a glowing naked man on it.<span id="more-515"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wbshop.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-WB-Site/default/Product-Show"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-518" title="clock" src="http://awesomebydefault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/clock.jpg" alt="clock" width="260" height="260" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wbshop.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-WB-Site/default/Product-Show">Doomsday Clock</a><br />
A real working clock that counts down the last days of humanity. Perfect for for the holidays!</p>
<p><a href="http://zozo.jp/shop/medicomtoy/goods.html?gid=377613&amp;did=&amp;cid=2862" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-542" title="watchmen-medicom-toy-bearbrick-1-540x342" src="http://awesomebydefault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/watchmen-medicom-toy-bearbrick-1-540x342-300x190.jpg" alt="watchmen-medicom-toy-bearbrick-1-540x342" width="300" height="190" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://zozo.jp/shop/medicomtoy/goods.html?gid=377613&amp;did=&amp;cid=2862" target="_blank">Watchmen Bearbricks</a><br />
Lego-sized figures are nothing new, but making the cast of the Watchmen look like bears is a little bit strange.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for my list, but I&#8217;m sure there are a few more odd pieces of Watchmen merch. If you spot anything, please post it in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px 10px;" src="http://memphi.net/images/christian-blessed-salt.jpg" alt="For the absolute best Christian oven fries, ever" width="211" height="211" />“What the heck&#8217;s the matter with Christian salt?” Joe Godlewski asked reporters while sipping a beer in his Cresaptown, Maryland living room.</p>
<p>Apparently tired of seeing the Jews’ Zionist grip on the salt industry, Godlewski developed Blessed Christian Salt, the first kosher salt to be blessed by an Episcopal Priest and marketed to Christian chefs.</p>
<p>In his interview with Examiner.com (<a href="http://www.examiner.com/a-1873794~Christian_salt_seller_hopes_to_shake_up_market.html">full article</a>), Godlewski elaborates:</p>
<p>&#8220;This is about keeping Christianity in front of the public so that it doesn&#8217;t die. I want to keep Christianity on the table, in the household, however I can do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>I guess nobody told him that kosher salt isn’t part of some elaborate Jewish marketing scheme. Still, I&#8217;m more curious if the salt from an Episcopalian blessed salt mine still comes out kosher or if it creates some sort of weird inter-faith hybrid like Chrismukkah or Sarah Jessica Parker.<span id="more-494"></span></p>
<p>If watching the Food Network hasn’t drilled it into your head yet, kosher salt is simply large grain salt. Of course calling all course grain salt kosher is a misnomer—all salt is Kosher, it’s a mineral. The correct name for this type of salt is koshering salt, or, just salt.</p>
<p>Out of dedication to the craft of hard-hitting journalism, I gave a call to the Ingredients Corporation of America, suppliers of Blessed Christian Salt, to see just how much the saintly salt will run you. It turns out that Mr. Godlewski is a bit full of shit. The ICA only sells bottles of salt with the Blessed Christian Salt labeling in bulk (minimum order being $100) for fund raising purposes. I hate to crash your bake sale, but you have to get the salt blessed yourself. So really, they’re just selling salt. According to the rep I spoke with on the phone, they can put just about any seasoning in the bottle, so if you want a bottle of Blessed Christian Black Bean Seasoning, I’m sure you could work something out.</p>
<p>The rep was also kind enough to send me my very own bottle of Blessed Christian Salt to bless the food at my dinner table. Score.</p>
