The Men’s Housework Timer is designed to encourage the male of the species to slouch into the kitchen and do their fair share of the work. Flip the timer upside down as they start donning the yellow glovies and they keep going till it runs out of sand. Smart idea. £6.99. [Psst…small thing. The thing has been calibrated to last precisely 3 seconds! Don’t tell]  We can all picture the scene; (Man) is comfortably sitting on the sofa, mug of…

They’re made of felt, come in a bunch of understandably complicated sizes, there are two sets of feet after all, and are �95 for delivery from Finland. Of course it may all hinge on whether Dad can dance … The most endearing result of their efforts, Dance Shoes for the Father and Daughter came from a Finnish felt factory. These…

As part of the festivities, the Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed for 12 hours on Sunday morning and 10,000m� of turf was laid across it temporarily for the inaugural Breakfast on the Bridge event. Not bad considering it’s over a kilometer in length. Around 6,000 randomly selected people enjoyed…

I admit, I got done on April Fool’s Day this year with ThinkGeek’s Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, it looked so darn real.

It’s not available yet but they’re arriving in November. Add your name and form an orderly queue behind your 10 year old and no pushing please. [Via Gizmodo] ATTN…

Solitaire Olive Bowl – you’ve got to earn your nibbles

Long before Solitaire came along, there was Solitaire, but it was still lacking something. Eatability! Now there’s the Solitaire Olive Bowl. Made of ceramic, comes with instructions on how to play and there’s even a spot for the seeds. Those of a non-olive eating disposition may substitute Maltesers.
