How to play with zombies

Zombies get a bad wrap. They’re just misunderstood. It’s hard wandering around craving brains. Society gives vampires like Edward Cullen, and our politicians, a pass on blood sucking behaviour, and it should be no different when it comes to the undead.

Should you be in a position to play fun games with a zombie in your neighbourhood this book may come in handy.

Say “R” for your kiddies

I confess, I enjoy some R Rated movies. As a mafia junkie how can I not? But how does one share such poignant stories with one’s children? Perhaps Golden Book style with Movies R Fun.

Say “I love you” with Tetris

To me, this Tetris love letter is a little bit unclear.

It could be interpreted as: “Your love is like a row of blocks that I am going to clear” or “I am going to claim you and remove any traces of your former identity.”

But I like the sentiment.

Here it is in video glory. But I haven’t watched it yet so apologies if there is swearing or you can actually still hear the trombone.

KFC: Making dreams come true with 11 herbs and spices

Introducing the Skinwich. Apparently being tested in KFCs throughout America. It’s every chicken lover’s dream. Because everybody knows the skin is the best bit of the chicken.

It’s a beautiful case of turning byproducts into products. All those people wanting their “skinless chicken fillets” for “health reasons”…

Portable portals

The creators of Gumby, and later Jasper Fforde, had it right. Books are the closest we’re going to get to a portal in a long time I reckon. So these bookends seem fitting.

Clever.

The lazy man’s urinal

Most guys won’t admit to having substituted a sink for a urinal in a moment of desperation. But they’ll certainly have considered it. Or so I’m told.

So this invention – a urinal with a built in sink. Is a piece of engineering genius.

And it’s good for the environment too.

“To save water, Eco Urinal is designed to use the water that was used for washing hands to flush the urine. By this process, we don’t have to use water twice after using the urinal.
Moreover, it reduces the establishment expenses by optimizing the materials. Upper space of this urinal is made with glass, and it helps to secure a clear view for users. It also promotes people to keep their sanitation because people need to wash their hands to flush the urine after use.”

How did toaster bacon not take off?

Bacon, cooked crispy, in your toaster. That is such a brilliant idea. You might be thinking “why didn’t anybody invent this before?” Well. They did. In the 60s. And it failed to make it to market. The company pulled it after initial trials citing such obstacles as “ruined toasters” and “fire hazards.”
