			Yes they are, you'd be safer tying a knot in the cat's tail, than opening one of those diabolical clamshells.

			I use my aviation snips to open clamshell packages.  Works extremely well.

			Well, I typically use scissors, but honestly, I think the can opener would would work better, because you don't have to continuously reposition it, exposing one's hands to the edges.

			chainsaw is the way to go. Or give it to a 2-year-old.  they can open anything they shouldn't be able to without hurting themselves

			All you internet savvy Science Fiction fans, what is the deal with Cthulhu, and why do I stumble across pictures of him all over the internet?  I never read Lovecraft, so can any of you tell me why a character from a story written almost a century ago is a recurring internet meme?  Am I missing a joke or something?

			Wouldn't it have been awesome if Cancer had just happened to be in the WTC in 9/11?

			1.) It's a fun name to say, with bonus ironic-hipster points for sounding like a gothy foreign language. 2.) The octopus mouth is oddly entrancing? I dunno man, Cthulhu is just funny. |

			The similarities with FSM are obvious, and I figured it was just some sort of hipster meme.  But it just seems so bizarre.  I never heard of Cthulu until maybe 5 years ago when I started seeing him everywhere.  It's just strange that an obscure character from so long ago was revived.  I'm curious what the catalyst was.    I suppose you could make the same observation with any meme.  I'm not even sure Cthulhu rises to the level of a meme.
