I usually write about innovations I think are really cool. The Blizzident is cool, but not the kind of cool I’d like to own. It’s cool as in very weird. I mean look at it. Cornelius in Planet of the Apes
rejected this set of chompers because even ape men don’t have such
hairy teeth. In fact, the Blizzident is a custom toothbrush,
not a set of false teeth, although I bet you’d be a hit wearing it on
Halloween.
Are you tired of just sitting around the house after you’ve given yourself a home pedicure while you wait for the nail polish to dry? Oh, sure, you have the toe separators to keep your toes from touching one another and ruining your paint job, but if you have to get up you end up lurching about on your heels like Frankenstein on a bender while trying to keep those little piggies perfect. You may just need a pair of Tip Flops.
Architects, designers, and engineers may create the world around us, but it takes an incredibly talented artist to fool a viewer into believing that they are looking at the real world, when they are actually looking at something that could fit inside a shoe box. Lori Nix creates tiny universes that could fit in a suitcase, showing that size really doesn’t matter when it comes to modern art.
J.K. Rowling may well have opened a real can of worms when she created
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. And yes, can of worms could be a
flavor, right alongside of vomit and earwax. Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
preceded her with their amazing selection of the sweet treat and took
them out of the realm of an Easter-only candy. Now there is a new idea
floating out there on Quirky.com — alcohol-flavored jelly beans.
There’s nothing like putting on your Sunday finest, breaking out your cello, and walking into the ocean for an orchestral concert. That might sound strange to you, but for Australian artist Andrew Baines, it sounds like just another day at the office. His living sculptures juxtapose normal people in strange and unexpected settings, usually involving sand, surf, and a healthy touch of Surrealism.
These fabric fiends are always on hand when things go off the rails,
just try not to beat the stuffing out of them the first time your rage
takes over!
Finally there is a house pet that even PETA can’t object to! You don’t have to pet it, walk it, and clean up after it, and yet it is very much alive. Scientists at Yonder Biology in San Diego, California, have created the first bioluminescent pet by harnessing dinoflagelltates and their bioluminescence into the shape of a little dinosaur.
StarChase has invented a device to simply mark fleeing vehicles rather than engaging n high liability chases. It’s now possible to tag the offender in front of you and catch them a little bit later. Read more about this new innovation.
When bad luck is on the horizon there is only one thing you can do — quick! knock on wood! It is a superstition that dates back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. The one place where doing this is a real problem is that haven of metal, plastic, and vinyl — your car. If one Quirky.com inventor has her way there will soon be a fix for this!
Ever since they created a precise and puzzle-like cardboard mannequin in
1998, Japanese model making studio d-torso has continued to impress art
and design fans around the world with their ever-expanding series of
intricate cardboard replicas.
