Oct. 13th, 2010 07:20 pmThe humble tape measure is very much undervalued, especially when it comes to covering your floor.
After all how many of us actually have mats like this

Well I suppose it solves the problem of what to do if you get peckish when you're out for a walk.

Rubics Dodecahedron

...or a Magic Giant 12-Surface IQ Pentagon as they seem to prefer to call it.
OMG! That looks a nightmare, I think I'll stick with the cube.

A stretched limo is one of the ultimate status symbols so it seems natural to expand the idea to other forms of transport, which is exactly what Wouter Mijland appears to have done:

A suitable green alternative and all it requires is a few sessions on the rack before you'll be amazing all the passers by as you ride off into the sunset...

Feeding The Horses
Aug. 19th, 2009 11:10 pmSo, the internet seems to be currently full of photos of that squirrel.
Not only that, but someone has setup a site (I imagine there's probably more than one site like this out there) to superimpose the squirrel on your images, so now you don't even need to open photoshop to do - The Squirrelizer. (via

This left me with little choice, but... to feed the wretched creature to a hobby horse:

Just remembered vegans aren't supposed to be nasty to squirrels... oops!

Racing track set takes the biscuit
Aug. 18th, 2009 01:45 pmSomething else to add to the list of essential modern kitchen items: racing track cookie cutters.

Except of course, the first thing that sprung to my mind on seeing this was:
If you put a couple of strips of food-grade gold leaf down the middle and electrified it could you make an edible scaletrix track?

Gin & Tonic Sauna

Alcoholic Architecture
I must admit I'm curious, but it appears it's sold out.

So according to @qikipedia on twitter, "In Britain in 1993, three people needed hospital treatment as a result of an accident with a tea-cosy."
Thinking, I'd respond with the quote in the subject line, I had a quick look on google to see who said it (turns out it was Billy Connelly. It does sound like the sort of thing he'd say.), and found this:

Available from Ringtons - £7.95
Would it be excessive to buy myself a third tea-cosy?

I wonder if they do a set for bigger kids with bigger hands?
*also wonders why the autocomplete on the tags comes up with "eating children" as he's sure he's never done that*

The Cup PC

Nice idea, but I suspect they've missed out an obvious feature that should be present in any Cup - the ability to hold tea.
Useful as data may be, I'm not sure it tastes as nice.
