Flood Detector..The CALOY™
As is reported to have been stated by its inventor, “It doesn't take a rocket scientist to develop something like this—especially for us Manileños, who basically live with the fact that despite any government effort, it just floods here every frigging year.”

Gravity Powered Shoe Air-Conditioner

Do your feet sweat so badly that even your dog avoids you? With the ‘Gravity Powered Shoe Air-Conditioner’ this can be a thing of the past for it will keep your feet at an ideal temperature. Incorporated inside the heel is a compressor-expander which is powered by ’gravity pressures’ placed upon the shoe when you walk. A network of heat exchangers, containing a low boiling point liquid, transfer this energy to the soles of the shoes and, depending on you’re mood, you can heat or cool your feet. Just be careful you don’t walk so fast that you get frostbite. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Home Plunger-Hat
.

.
As a direct result of having their vending machines dispense huge quantities of beer to the general public, many more Japanese are hitting the night clubs and singing along to karaoke, where they proceed to drench their inner systems with more alcohol. This created a problem, as many Japanese were ending up way too drunk to remember where they live, or how to get home. So, the Smile Factory College invented the indispensable Home Plunger-Hat. This nifty little invention is just that, a hard-hat with a plunger sticking out the back of it, which is attached to a subway window. This serves two purposes. One, in case the drunks throw up, they can rest assured knowing that they won’t drown on their own vomit, since the path of said vomit will clear their mouths and not come back in. Two, they look ultra-hip to the people who invented such brain-washing filth as Pokemon. The bright yellow card on the front of the hat displays the owner’s address, which is automatically scanned by a laser in the subway car, and ejects them at their proper stop. Very ingenious indeed!

Sounds like a great gift to give to some of my friends here on larian <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

One couldn't beat the other:
Invisible Jim

As Not Seen On TV.

We nearly decided not to stock this item. We were pretty certain that we would have to deal with irate customers complaining that they had received nothing but an empty packet.


Guaranteed to test even the most surreal sense of humour. Unfortunately we cannot supply batteries with this product.


Warning: Small Parts may ruin your sex life.


Price: £2.50

Indicatears

Light up your lugholes!

Place one bulb behind each auricular orifice. Clip the battery pack to your belt or pocket. Your ears may then be individually illuminated or both lit up together.


There has to be a unique use for these that would turn them into a necessity for every man, women, child and household pet. But we just can't push our lateral thought processes that far. Any suggestions? A cut of the royalties will be your reward.

@ Lafille
Hehe, you sure find some unusual objects, where can I find the invisible jim? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
Its hard to beat that!!

You'd be luckier searching for its package rather than Jim! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Say your prayers!

No one is safe from the wrath of the fire-breathing Nunzilla. Clutching a Bible in one hand and a ruler in the other, this strict disciplinarian will have you confessing your smallest transgressions.

Wind her up and she advances relentlessly with sparks shooting from her mean snarling mouth. She may only be 5cms tall but she is one holy terror.

Outdoor Mug

This robust stainless steel travel mug will help keep drinks hot. Keeping the lid shut will retain the heat further and help prevent catastrophic spillages

Coffee Trivia: The Swedes drink more coffee than any other people in the world <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

[color:"white"] Coffee Trivia: The Swedes drink more coffee than any other people in the world [/color]

Ah but here's a question for you, do they drink coffee or a blend of water and coffee in which case it is most likely to be the "Long Black" thus taking that in account and then looking at the Italians who drink "short Black" (aka Espresso) which has less water then the afore mentioned Long Black, and thus the Italians drink more coffee <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Phlat Balls

Phlat Ball is half 6" ball and half 9" throwing disc and is taking Australia by storm.

You Phlatten the ball by squeezing the top and bottom together and it sticks in place, then throw it like a disc, and it pops out into a ball, which is really quite clever. The release from disc to ball is random, so you never quite know if you're going to be catching a ball or a disc. And of course if you happen to miss-throw it (heaven forbid) and it lands on an inconveniently placed roof, simply wait and when it pops into a ball shape it'll roll off - neat. Of course it's also great for travelling, as it packs flat, or rather 'phlat'.

@ Lafille
It looks like Mea, does the Culpa move and is actually very useless, but it looks nice on your kitchen cupboard and it's only available in the land of Oz <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Quooker Boiling Water Tap
Boiling water straight from the tap? Quooker says yes, with it's tap/tank combo, which will produce water at 100 degrees Celcius on command. There are some safety features built-in: the tap is childproof, requiring a deliberate "push and turn" action (so you don't accidentally get a mouth full of boiling water when you're looking for a glass of cold water after a run) and the water comes out in a "fine spray" to avoid burns. Alas, there are no suggestions on how to remove yourself from uncomfortable conversations once you've lost the excuse, "I'm going to put the kettle on."
