I wonder if it would blend human bones. That would be very useful to me.

Will it blend, will it blend, will it will it will it blend?  (A cookie to anyone who gets that. ;))

I like the caption, "Don't try this at home".  So I guess I shouldn't buy one then? :D

It's not going to blend the crowbar.  It's not even possible, it's just too thick of steal to cut easily, but cutting through electronics and thin aluminum bars is very possible.

Just watch the crowbar video, and you'll see what actually gets blended.  Several cell-phones.  Hell, I thought the cup was going to shatter with the hockey pucks, that was brutal...

Well aware of that.  I just want to see it attempted. :)
However, I honestly did not expect it to be able to blend golfballs and marbles, and it had little difficulty with them.  Amazing little blender, eh?

So grinding electronical devices to dust is profitable if you're famous enough.

I think you may forget that the money is going to a non-profit hospital.  Blendtec is a Utah company, and it's going to the Utah Primary Children's Hospital.  I think it's pretty nice.  These blenders actually go for about $400 apiece.

Ah, that I can approve... :yes:

I was already about to start grinding electronics on a campaign named "Support Poor Student - Buy Grinded Electronics!", but perhaps that wouldn't have been such a great idea.
