LIFT items are selected either by myself or by one of my guest editors. If you have a cool tip, please share it with me! And, no, you can't pay to be featured on LIFT. That's what advertising is for, and it's clearly labeled as such. I do not want to destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of this blog. Plus, I'll never earn your trust that way.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

BlogBurst.comLastly, this site is syndicated through Blogburst, so it's likely that you'll see LIFT on Fox News, Reuters, or USA Today.com.

I hope that you continue to enjoy LIFT. I look forward to publishing it.

Giant Swiss Army Knife

16999E.jpg
Just as you can't be too rich or too thin, you also can't have too many tools on your Swiss Army knife - but that was before I got sight of the new Giant Swiss Army knife (yes, it's real). Grotesque, if superbly engineered, the Giant features 85 devices in all. Basically it includes every blade that has ever been incorporated into Swiss Army knives as made by Wegner, one of the two firms that make them.

Even though each one is assembled by hand in Switzerland, it's not exactly going to win any awards for lightest (it weighs almost 3 pounds), smallest or most efficient tool ... but at $1,200 a pop, it will probably win you the title of "King Gadget Master".

But unload this mother into the plastic tray as you walk through security at JFK Airport and just see what happens.
