Does anyone manufacture novelty helmets that actually protect the head?
An acquaintance has had a mishap (on a bicycle), the details of which
he can't quite remember. :-( He is now willing to start wearing a
helmet. But he would like, if possible, to get one that looks like
the old Kaiser Wilhelm era german military helmets, with the spike on top.
I suppose a phony plastic spike could be glued on to a helmet of the
right shape. Does anyone sell helmets that look like this?

The Arte Johnson picture is very odd. It seems that that is a fake
bike, which is strange since a real one would have been cheaper. But if
you look at the front brake rod, it seems to go nowhere, and the saddle
seems to be mounted on a platform. The spokes are really, really thick,
but don't look like Spinnergy spokes.

Deserves death! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death.
And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not
be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

Oh, and yes, Arte looks a little odd, himself...
