Sofa Bed

My Pad isn’t the largest in the world and quite frankly I have to limit the number of guests I can have over to the number of bowls I have in the cupboard.

It’s the reason I don’t have the in-door in-floor pool yet.

BUT, something I wouldn’t mind having is this nifty sofa:

Breaking News: National Skirt Extension Project

So this web site was sent to me by an extremely upset reader (who’s obviously in favour of short skirts). What you’ll find if you visit the site is this:

What appears to be some kind of legitimate bill urging the extension of skirts across our nation (including the alteration of all associated signage) is causing a stir with fashionistas, the general public and sluts alike!

My take on it: Someone has cunningly setup a premium number that keeps you on hold forever and generates big money on the fears of modern society (please don’t phone the number on the site). I don’t know whether I’m more pissed off cause the site exists or that I never came up with it!


Turn Old Bottles Into Camera Tripods

Caught at the Right Moment

As of April 2009, the earth’s population is estimated to be about 6.77 billion. With the number increasing each and every day, it’s great to just stop for a moment. In fact, it even greater to stop and take a photo:

Brazilian? Landing Strip? How Do You Cut Your Grass?

I can’t remember the last time I ever mowed the lawn. In fact, I’m pretty sure I have never actually mowed the lawn.

Maybe that’s because we never had one of these while I was growing up:

With absolutely no association to Hustler Magazine, The Hustler Zeon is an emission-free electric mowing dream ride!

It my not have a traditional steering wheel, rather two handles that enable a true zero-degree turning radius, just like a tank! Who’s got long lawn?

F1 Styled Piano

I love music and I love cars. So when someone creates a piano that resembles a supercar it’s bound to hit the right high note with me.

In-Door In-Floor Pimp Pool

Check out this in-house pool concept from KOS. You know something like this will add a unique, inviting touch to your home (provided you have the space for a pool in one of your rooms!).

Faraway Pool 1

It’s dubbed the Faraway Pool and can be built in to the floor and doesn’t overflow (thanks to the ground-level fissure that doubles the pool’s outline).

Faraway Pool 2

To top it off, the Faraway Pool has some pimping underwater illumination, which will make for a truly romantic (or dirty) experience. Splash splash!
