Baby blender?


It's true that we can't articulate quite why this bothers us, but something is decidedly off about this baby bath from the UK. The Dutch-designed Tummy Tub supposedly feels more womb-like to the baby--we'd love to see those focus group transcripts--but we can't help feel that Tupperware or Rubbermaid had some undue influence here, in the same way Hallmark invented Valentine's Day to move more product.

Smoking No Smoking


Some restaurant owners in Germany have come up with a novel workaround to the smoking ban; patrons can stay inside and smoke outside through "Smoking Points" that resemble a cross between a portal and a stockade. Added bonus: it makes the smoker look like, well, a complete ass!
