Don’t you hate it when icky ticky birds rustle through your trash?
Alright, so most of my trash ends at the bottom of the big bag trash bin but I know a lot of folk who leave an extra bag next to the stuffed to brim trash bins.
Or, if you are like some who make questionable decisions, leave your trash bag on the balcony.
I call that a happy meal for the pigeons! Well, someone who feels really strongly about it has come up with a solution. Maybe they had to spend an entire Saturday scooping up bits of rubbish smeared with bird droppings. Who knows.
Point is we have a winner. Yaburenzo have invented this fancy trash bag which have a secret ingredient – liquid chilli lining!
I’m not sure how this work but it sounds like there is this inner lining in the bag itself that is filled with […]

MIT researchers led by chemical engineer Robert Cohen and mechanical engineer Gareth McKinley have created the world’s first superoleophobic and superhydrophobic surface (let me translate for you: the "super surface" repels both water and oil):
A group of MIT researchers have created an improved set of design rules for making any surface impervious to any liquid, be it water or gasoline. Such materials could eventually have promise as fingerprint-repelling coatings, fuel filters, self-washing car paints, and stain-resistant clothing. […]
They started with a polymer developed by the Air Force that contains large numbers of oil-repelling fluorine groups. The MIT researchers made the material even more oil resistant by using lithography to pattern it with overhanging microstructures. These tiny structures create air pockets that help suspend liquids and prevent them from penetrating to the surface. The MIT researchers found that the surfaces are both superoleophobic and also superhydrophobic, or water repelling. Because they […]

I always like donuts, from Dunkin’ Donuts to Big Apple to home-made, I like it, especially when it is glazed with white chocolate or mint with chocolate chips. Sounds yummy isn’t it?
Then one day, someone posted something online that caught my eyes - Bbq Donut. So I decided I would check this BBQ Donut out because I’ve tried so many donuts over the years and I have never see nor tried a barbequed flavored donut before.
To my surprise, this is the first picture I saw when I typed “bbq donut” and pressed SEARCH:
Well, I understand why it is called “donut” because of the round shape, but I don’t know why “bbq”. So the probing and researching began.
At this stage of understanding, I am still not so sure what it was:
And there! Now I know what it is. It is a round BBQ donut that floats on water and you can […]

Losing directions is one of my weaknesses. If there are too many roads around, I would find myself extremely clueless with the directions whether I am walking or driving without a map or a few phone calls to friends. Sometimes I wondered whether there is a better way than having a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or Satellite Navigation System (SatNav) that would possibly cost a bomb to have one installed in your car.
In some countries, GPS or SatNav are so common that in Tokyo, every taxi has one!
Clean seats, courteous driver and very informative taxi.
Then just recently I found this online. A 1920s “SatNav”, also called The Route Finder. It is a tiny machine complete with maps that would tell motorists which way to go. Isn’t that cool or what! Imagine, a wristwatch-style device equipped with mini maps.
1920s Route Finder
But this is no GPS, not even a full […]

There are times and places where it just wouldn’t be appropriate to suffer from horny urges. At work, school, in church, or at the dinner table, you don’t want to suddenly come down with an attack of horniness that could cause you to act in an inappropriate manner. But what can you do when such an urge comes on you?
Well if you aren’t able to take some special “alone time” with yourself, maybe a new product from Japan can help you out. It is called the Shape Horny Remover, and it has been shown all over the Internet as a fabulous remover of “horny urges.”
But when you look at it, it certainly doesn’t seem like the kind of object that could help in such cases. Probably because it is not actually supposed to stifle horny urges. Instead, it is meant to help rub off the horny […]

Have you ever thought of inventing something of your own when you were younger? Like jet rocket roller-skates or spectacles with wipers? I bet you do, because that’s what I aspire to be when I was younger – to be a great inventor!
But here we are, anything BUT a great inventor. To us now, any ideas, silly inventions, workable or not, we would rather keep it to ourselves; what would people think?! However, unlike the Japanese small-time, feel-free inventors, they actually think out their inventions and CREATE it. Literally.
Here in Chapter 1, we are going to show you two Wacky Japanese Inventions:
Raining? Too many stuff to hold? Both hands too occupied? So who’s going to hold the umbrella? In this scenario, you will need the Umbrella Head Band. All you need to do is strap any conventional umbrella to your head and there you go, being dry during the rainy […]
