Gimme The Damn Birthday Cake
Keyshawn Johnson through the years
We wish a happy 42nd birthday to Keyshawn Johnson, one of the NFL's loudest, but finest wide receivers of the past two decades. Jets fans may remember him as talented and disgruntled, Buccaneers fans may commend him for helping them win the Super Bowl, Cowboys and Panthers fans? Well, he played for them, too. Nonetheless, enjoy the rare shots of Keyshawn that spans his dominant years at USC through his illustrious pro career. And if that isn't enough, take a trip down memory lane with SI stories from when Keyshawn was emerging as one of the NFL's most outspoken personalities.

Water Balloon Warfare
Planning a full-scale water balloon assault on your neighbors or their children? The folks over at Gizmodo pointed their readers to an unusual and frankly unbelievable Kickstarter campaign. Behold the new invention, Bunch O Balloons. Yes, you read it correctly, it fills up to 100 water balloons in one minute. It has also raised over $5,000 of its $10,000 goal, which it will easily surpass. The summertime seems like the right time to make the donation and purchase, as I'm sure this qualifies as assault once the winter hits.
