Dollar ring.

Yes it’s old methinks, but still fun. The Dollar Note Ring. Impress your fiancee by folding them a 20, eh?  As with all these instructions, try to start with a relatively clean, crisp bill.

Dog is a God. Italy, a land hitherto known mostly for its rabid pasta fetish and the crafting of very long, very straight roads, now brings the world – doggy divinity. Words fail… [Thanks Bill]  Marco Morosini has chosen to become an animal designer, creating temples for four-legged Gods: tailor made habitats created in the likeness of those of man and designed for their different attitudes and lifestyles.
