Foot fault: Tan lines

Sock tan is a national disgrace. With weather like ours, and with the national footwear being the thong, Australians have no excuse for white feet and ankles.

If you bear the shame of pale feet then you best get one of these – and you can thank me for it later.

It’s a tanning solution. A solarium for the feet. Get one for your socially outcast family members this Christmas for just under $230. They’ll thank you for it…

10 stupid USB Devices

You can put a USB connection on just about anything – even an amputated finger – and there are so many USB devices around that the “universal” is becoming a literal description rather than an indication of ubiquity. Here’s ten USB devices that should never have been made. Let alone sold.And where to buy them.

  1. Dance Dance Devolution
  2. Air conditioned neck tie
  3. The ChatterBot – this one needs describing.

    WowWee™ Chatterbots are fantastically fun animated computer accessories to have on your desktop. These collectable, highly stylized character figurines always have something to say about what you are up to — and it’s not always appropriate! Each Chatterbot™ features a unique personality and a signature animation. Connect directly to your Mac or PC using the included USB cable, then listen and watch as your Chatterbot entertains you with its unpredictable stream of jokes, dialog, and comments about your virtual life.
