Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s impossible for any concerned fan of Guru’s not to wonder what’s going on between the veteran rapper and his music partner and frequent collaborator of the last 5 years, Solar.

I’m struggling to find a purpose for this Mattel Mndflex hack, which shocks its users into serenity. It’s probably useful to professors trying to get their students to concentrate. I can also see how it could be valuable to Buddhist monks during meditation. Russell Simmons owns one of these.
