Jon Bon Jovi Duet with R2-D2

2012-05-31T21:30:16Z

In
a galaxy far, far away (actually it’s just 1980, but it feels
that way), there was a duet sung by R2-D2 and a certain singer named John
Bongiovi. It was John’s first professional recording ever.
John Bongiovi? If that sounds suspiciously familiar, it’s because he
later became famous as Jon Bon Jovi.
Listen at Jon Bon Jovi singing the lead vocal on the song "R2-D2
We Wish You A Merry Christmas" over at Fanboy: Link

Blindry

2012-05-31T21:02:07Z

Blindry is a window blind. It’s also a laundry drying rack. It’s two things in one! And if you are in a small apartment with no automatic dryer, Blindry can be a handy space saver, as you fold up your drying rack into the window. When it’s down, the sunlight coming in will speed the drying process. The description doesn’t mention it, but I figure if it’s sturdy enough, you can lay something flat across it and iron that laundry when it’s dry, too. Designers Kim Bobin and Ko Kyungeun won a Red Dot Award for this idea. Link -via Nag on the Lake

Giraffe Weevil of Madagascar

It looks so unreal but rest assured that the Giraffe Weevil of Madagascar
is real. You can probably guess how it got the name - but what you may
not know is that it uses that neck for fighting (actually, much like real
giraffes do).
Ark in Space has more fantastic photos: Link
- Thanks RJ!
