So, how weird is THAT?
Child Gas Hood. Um…can we be a little bit freaked out by the fact that they’re selling these nuclear/biological/chemical child masks as a serious public accessory in the UK? Or is that being overly sensitive? We’re not sure any more, except to say that this is creepy. Very, very creepy! £395.00. This hood is designed for children of 3 to 8 years old. The kit protects the head and the respiratory system. It is comfortable to wear and allows a…
The Color Scanning Lego Music Machine. Weird little contraption makes music by scanning Lego bricks. I think. Anyhoo, Mindstorms hackerz strike again! The first thing I built is a (ta-daaam) Lego Music Machine. The idea is simple: the machine functions more or less like a scanner, except that in stead of creating an image from the scanned information, sound is generated.
Roast Chicken on a Keyring. Look we just report it, OK? We have absolutely no chuffin’ idea why you’d want to carry around a $5.00 miniature roast chicken on a keyring. Honest we don’t. If we did we’d tell you. Really. Now please. We’ve got a headache. Thanks. In Japan these keychains are used to attach to your mobile phone. Sometimes it seems the more of these you have attached to your Keitai Denwa (Mobile Phone) then the higher your…
A mechanical Robo-Roach that may end up being a roach hunter? Spooky stuff ma. The tiny robot smells and acts just like a roach, fooling the real insects into accepting it as one of their own. Through its behaviour, the robot can persuade a group of cockroaches to venture out into the light despite their normal preference for the dark, for example.
The Fish n’Flush Aquarium. Er…it’s an aquarium that it also a toilet tank. Please no letters from fish lovers, we’re just reporting it OK?

New Yorker Rick Dobbertin built the amphibious Surface Orbiter out of a milk truck in order to cross the world via land and sea. It took him 4 years, $175,000 and 14,000 man hours to complete. The project now looks to have lapsed through lack of cash, although he is apparently busy at work on the Dobbertin ‘DHC’ Hydrocar due out this year – 125 mph on land, 60mph+ on water. Riiight.
