In case you were wondering, this is not an extravagant belt, this is the Hitch, a new way of transportation for adrenaline addicts or complete wackos.

According to its designer, Robert Nightingale, this device offers an alternative to conventional transportation and should be freely accessible to all people. But how do you move from A to B with this contraption? You wait for a car or bus to drive by (traffic lights are the best place to try to hitch a ride) and throw Read the rest of this entry…

This toothbrush is supposed to be the Superman of toothbrushes, being able to clean teeth 66 percent faster than regular toothbrushes.

The 40 Second Electric Toothbrush is capable of performing such stunt by “attacking” the plaque with an artillery of four pivoting heads, which clean six surfaces at a time, brushing the front, the back, and the chewing surfaces of top and bottom teeth at the same time. The Brush executes  810 movements per minute, so the teeth can benefit from a thorough cleaning in just 40 seconds. The bristles are Read the rest of this entry…

Leaving aside the balls and nuts jokes this Heavy Metal Nutcracker alludes to, this simple contraption works and you don’t even need to use any amount of force.

Just place the nut on the wood support, rise the ball and drop it on the top of the nut (it cannot go elsewhere as it’s guided by metal rods). It will crack any nut open, but be sure to remove your fingers before you drop the metal ball, as it can do serious damage to your fingers. And also not a very good idea to let your kids play Read the rest of this entry…

The last time you asked for a drink “on rocks”, did you think that it could be literally on rocks?

Well, some guy loved the idea so much that he designed some stone cubes that can be chilled in the freezer and put in your drink afterwords. The Nordic Rocks are mined from an unpolluted are from Sweden and they do not dissolve or alter the taste of your drink. The Nordic Rocks come in packs of 10 and with a leather pouch Read the rest of this entry…

And, of course, it’s USB, like almost everything else these days Read the rest of this entry…

Remember the BowLingual, the device which translated dog’s bark into human language showing the translation on a tiny screen as text?
