In commemoration of Thanksgiving, Humble Bundle is offering you a Pay What You Want on a brand new turkey fryer! 

Humble Turkey Fryer

All proceeds will go to the Annual Turkey Pardons, this year hosted by MC Trump. Will he pardon all the idiots citizens that decided to light their birds under a a couple dozen quarts of oil? Will he have Colonel Sanders take the stage as he sheds a single glistening tear to the golden crispiness? Or will Murphy's Law take the day with zeal? Let me know below if you're frying a turkey or if your parents, or you, had a brain-click and decided to use the oven like an educated human being. 

 

I'm kidding about the above if you hadn't noticed. If you actually went to Wal-Mart and bought the fryer, God help you as I cannot.

This week's bundle is for sci-fi and fantasy by Tachyon Publications. They've compiled some of their best books for this one. While I'm not much of a sci-fi fan when it comes to literature, I bought the first tier in hopes of reading In Calabria.

Benchmarks are successful if they don't open, right? That's how everyone overclocks!
