Pee Puck Turns Your Toilet Yellow

2010-11-16T10:54:00.000-08:00

Pee Puck is a new prank that you place in the toilet reservoir, turning the toilet water yellow for days, despite reflushing.

A safe and inexpensive way to get some laughs at your friend's next party.

I can already imagine getting revenge on my wife when she insists on hosting a crystal party at our house the same day I want to invite the buddies over to watch football.

A Truly Clean Towel Everytime

2010-10-26T11:46:00.000-07:00

True Clean Towel solves that old problem of "which end of the towel did I dry my ass with?"

When you step out of the shower, and reach for that towel to dry yourself off, you don't often remember which end of the towel you used yesterday to dry your butt with. So you just end up drying off your face with something that you might consider unsanitary.

It basically allows you to reuse your towels for several days, while saving money and water on laundry, but with the peace of mind knowing which end you can use for "up there" and "down there".

But it's also a pretty good towel in its own right, made of 100% Jacquard Double Spun Cotton, measuring 5 feet tall x 2.5 feet wide, with the design woven into the fabric for maximum softness and durability.

Automatic Toilet Flusher for Cats

2010-10-19T16:55:00.000-07:00

For those cat owners who have managed to train their cats to use the toilet, you can buy a device that will let your cat flush it easily.

It comes from the makers of CitiKitty, a company that sells a toilet training kit for cats.

It basically uses a motion sensor to detect a cat's presence, and then flushes the toilet when it detect's it's gone. It comes with adjustments that let you alter the distance of the sensor, and the delay of the flush. You can also have it do a courtesy flush once a day.

Spray-On Bandage Remover

2010-10-18T17:25:00.000-07:00

Alanna's Organic Pain Free Bandage Remover is used to make bandages come off without pain and pulling hair.

It was created by Alanna Meyers, a third grade student at Safety Harbor Montessori Academy in Clearwater, Florida. Throughout her childhood, she never liked the pain associated with removing bandages used for minor scrapes and scratches. So experimented with numerous combinations of ingredients until she came with the perfect formula.

It takes only a few minutes and sticky bandages come off.

With the help of her parents, an organic laboratory was located to make formula completely organic.

Fruit Stickles - Flavored Fruit Skewers

2007-12-24T22:37:00.000-08:00

Fruit Stickles are wooden skewers used for sticking together chunks of fruit. Except the skewers are seasoned with cinnamon and tropical fruit flavors that leach into the fruit chunks.

The idea is that gives fruit an extra boost of flavor to tempt children into eating more fruit.

The seasoning contains no sugar, just pure seasoning. It's similar to the cinnamon toothpicks that restaurants used to give out in the 70s, except for making fresh-fruit shiskabobs.

I'm sure this can be extended into meat seasoning skewers, for real shiskabobs.

Hillary Clinton Toilet Bowl Brush

2007-12-11T16:53:00.000-08:00

If Hillary Clinton should succeed in her bid to move back into the Whitehouse, Republicans can at least find some comfort while cleaning toilets with their "First Cleaning Lady" toilet brush.

I tried to come up some smart-ass comment tying together the effectiveness of the cleaning bristles and the whole "whitewater probe", but I can't think right now.

There's also one for George W. ~~Brush~~ Bush that looks more like his father. And then they're working on an Osama Bin Laden brush.

Throx - Socks with a Spare

2007-11-28T15:28:00.000-08:00

Throx is a company that sells socks, claiming to have solved the problem of the missing sock: by selling three socks instead of two.

Plate Flipper - License Plate Message Text

2007-11-21T11:13:00.000-08:00

The Plate Flipper is a device that hooks to your car's license plate, allowing it to flip down, and reveal a special message for the guy behind you.

Perfect for drivers in Los Angeles and Orange County who like to show off their vanity while weaving in and out of lanes in their BMWs.

I think what's needed is a programmable LED version, where at the push of a button you can display different messages.

I imagine it can also be used avoid paying tolls on toll roads, allowing you to evade the cameras.

World's First Non-Contact Thermometer

2007-11-20T16:11:00.000-08:00

A company called Kidz-Med, Inc. has launched a new thermometer called, "Thermofocus", claiming it as the first thermometer to take accurate body temperature readings without touching the body.

The product's website says it can read infrared heat eminating from a person's forehead, and give results as accurate as a rectal thermometer, and more accurate than an ear thermometer.

The reason why they recommend pointing the device to the forehead is because the head is supplied with blood from the temporal artery, which receives blood through the aorta and the carotid artery, guaranteeing a considerable flow of blood. Moreover, the forehead is the only part of the body close to the brain that is not covered in hair.

Kidz-Med says you can also use the Thermofocus to take the temperatures of baby formula, bath water, and food.

This might be the start of the first Medical Tricorder?

Golf Club - Weed Wacker Combo

2007-11-17T23:21:00.000-08:00

The Big Daddy Driver looks like a massive golf club, but is actually a weed wacker.

Meant to be more as a novelty item, it actually is a working weed wacker.

But it's size lends itself to fit inside a golf bag. So should your ball land in the rough, you could theoretically pull this baby out, clear away the weeds, and give yourself a better shot.

The product's website doesn't mention replacement string, though I get the sense they don't expect this thing to be utilized often.

Bagged Ice - In Reseable Bags

2007-11-16T19:35:00.000-08:00

A new company called, On The Rocks, based out of Hartford, CT, is selling bagged ice in resealable bags.

They claim to be the world's first bagged ice intended exclusively for use in beverages. It's ice is supposedly of such a high quality, that it comes in a resealable bag, to keep it fresh and pure in your freezer.

According to their website...

The product is then packaged in a Puncture Resistant, Re-sealable package and sealed with a tamper evident seal. The bag is then printed with a lot code as per FDA Bottled Water Regulations and automatically packed in a case for shipment.

This way, if the FDA determines any contaminants have entered the ice, the company can issue a recall.

The website is also stamped with a graphic claiming "100% Natural Freezing Process". In a day and age where so much ice comes from artificially frozen water, it's such a welcome relief to get natural ice. The website goes on to say that the company uses an "extra slow freezing" technique to virtually eliminate air bubbles.

The result is a slower melting, harder, and more dense ice cube.

No word yet on where you can buy this stuff.

Motorcycle Cancer Seat Shield

2007-11-15T18:33:00.001-08:00

A man named Randall Dale Chipkar is selling an EMF shield designed to be fitted inside a motorcycle seat.

"EMF" stands for electromagnetic field. He claims that EMFs can cause cancer, and that motorcycles are emitting enough of these EMFs to put riders in danger. His EMF shield can be fitted inside a motorcycle seat to provide riders with "peace of mind".

In fact, Chipkar authored a book entitled, "MOTORCYCLE CANCER? Are motorcycles KILLING US with cancers of the prostate, colon, kidney, bone, etc?", where he documents cases of riders whom he met diagnosed with cancer, and which he claims were victims of their own motorcycles.

"All of these riders had extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation shooting up from their motorcycle seats into their lower torso", Chipkar says. "Some readings were 100 times higher than what can be considered as acceptable exposure."

Chipkar goes on to say that governments and industry leaders are in denial over motorcycle-based EMFs so as to not create panic.
