What do you think of messenger bags?
What do you think of messenger bags for guys? Where can I get one?

I think they’re awesome. They’re handy on campus when you’re dragging about a few books and notebooks. Plus on a hot day, they don’t get your back sweaty like a backpack will. They also give you a very casual, laid-back look that’s really in with us young guys.

How many things can I plug into one outlet before it becomes a fire risk?
My friend has two power strips (about 12 different electronics items) plugged into the same outlet. Should I be concerned about his house burning down?
The issue isn’t the outlet, it’s the power strips. The wall receptacle and the in wall wiring all rated to exceed the max load of the overcurrent protection device (aka- circuit breaker or fuse).
Cheap power strips may have a 16ga cord and low grade internal wiring and contacts. Poor quality contacts and conductors equals high resistance equals fire risk. Piggy back a couple of these and fire is a very real risk.
But if your friend is using better quality power strips with heavy 14ga cords, and even better, with their own breakers, he should be ok.
==========================
Looking at the other answerers – there’s clearly a bunch of people who don’t have a clue what they’re talking about (come on people – Ohm’s law isn’t that hard).
To address some of the misinformation flying around-
-Every receptacle in your house (in the US) is rated at 15amps or higher
-Other devices on the same circuit increase the possibility of tripping the circuit breaker – they have no affect on the possibility of a melt down of the powerstrips in question
-an “outlet that has a safety switch” is a GFCI receptacle. A GFCI protects against imbalances in the hot and neutral legs of the circuit and protects against shock if the neutral fails. It does nothing for overcurrent conditions
-a surge suppresor provides no protection against overcurrent. In fact just the opposite, it protects the appliances from voltage spikes in case of a lighting strike, etc.
-1500 watts equals 12.5 amps (Ohm’s law people). I’ve never heard of a 12.5A breakers — but 15A breakers are standard for household circuits. A 15A breaker can handle 1800 watts
-It doesn’t take a heater or large TV to put a branch circuit overcurrent. Some of the monster dual-SLI gaming systems are coming with power supplies capable of supplying a claimed 1200 watts. Put a couple of these on a powerstrip and the powerstrip will be hot to the touch. Put 3 or 4 on the same circuit and you’ll trip the breaker.

What is a good fuzzy toy my large dog wont destroy?
My pit-bull loves stuffed animals and wont touch the plastic toys at all, is there a toy that’s fuzzy but durable so he wont destroy it in 10 seconds? I’m getting tired of fluff all over my living room. Thanks!
Tuffys Toys are the best highly durable soft toy I have found
http://vipproducts.com/retail/files/index.php?cPath=27
I’ve had several around for a long time before my highly focus guys are able to pinpoint one small weakness to exploit in order to take the stuffing out. I also use stuffed animals with the stuffing removed, I also remove any loose strands or pieces hanging off, I’ve had toys for a year after they took out the stuffing in 10 minutes. Skinneez work off of the same concept.

Other than Delorean, what would make a good time travel car?
I want to sketch out my own time travelling car, but I won’t do a Delorean because it would be a rip off of back to the future. What’s a good, fast, 80s car that’s strong. I was thinking something like the ferrari testarossa or something.
What about a 60s or 70s muscle car like the 69′ charger?
New Ford Mustang. As long as you only go back to the 1960’s and 70’s, people will think you have a custom 69 Mustang. LOL.
