MSNBC is reporting a South African woman's innovation of a female condom which is designed to stop rapes. The inside of the device has JAGGED barbs which will lodge into the penis of an intending rapist, thereby stopping the attack. In related news, Philly EDGE could not confirm that a competing company will hand out Kirstie Alley masks as a sexual assault deterrent.

PS- If you feel that you need to wear an anti-rape device EVERYDAY, shouldn't you move, like, far away?

PSS- Should Bristol Township and Germantown put in orders

Philly EDGE correspondent Michael Lello took in Bruce Hornsby, Bob Weir and Ratdog Tuesday night at the Mann Center. His review follows...
-ED

PHILADELPHIA — You can call it another stop on the long, strange trip that’s been bending minds since the Grateful Dead came alive in 1965, you can call the Mann Center that “lazy summer home” from the song “Eyes Of The World” and muse to yourself, like in “Eyes,” that “the heart has its seasons, its evening and songs of its own.”
Heck, you could even make up your own lyric-driven cliché, but the fact is that a lot of wonderfully weird stuff went down Tuesday night when Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers and Bob Weir and Ratdog — the former a one-time Dead touring member, the latter a founding Dead man — shared a bill at the quaint concert shed in Fairmount Park.

A story on KYW.com blamed a horrific accident for long delays this morning on the eastbound Pennsylvania Turnpike.
According to the story, a livestock truck was rear-ended by another tractor trailer early Tuesday. The crash caused the death of several sheep and goats, and caused other animals to run wild across the highway.
No mention as to whether or not any of the delays were caused by drivers who fell asleep at the wheel while they counted the sheep who were running across I-276.

Until Greater Philly gets its own event (and Philly EDGE thinks that Thunderbird Lanes on Street Road in Warminster would be a perfect locale for it) Philly pholk have to go to New York (October 21 and 22) to celebrate this pop culture film nugget.
Tickets went on sale Wed. August 24.
Never seen it? Rent "The Big Lebowski" tonight.

At the August 11 Trenton Thunder/Akron Aeros game, played at Waterfront Park in Trenton (at a temperature just below that which would cause the ad covered outfield fence to burst into flames) I was dazzled by a new baseball marketing gimmick.
The bat retrieving dog, Chase.
After each Thunder batter had been recorded out, Chase charged onto the field and picked up the bat in his jaws, dutifully returning it to the dugout.
While assuming that no member of PETA has become aware of this – don’t laugh, I’m sure there is some animal lover willing to be hit with a bat thousands of times before allowing Chase to fetch another one – I think the Thunder may be on to something… something that might have an application at athletic venues across the nation, and The ’Burbs.
