20120417001

Does the elevator’s wall of an office building located in Great Portland Street, London taste good? Possibly, as it is world’s first lick-able wall that comprises of 1,325 Jaffa Cakes! Completely unbelievable and surprising, the “delicious” wallpaper just wants to offer the passengers a pleasing taste during their boring trip with an elevator. Although bit of unacceptable, this Lick-able Wall Paper is still expected to appear in many other places in the future.

Basement Finished by Remote-controlled Toys

20120220001

A Canadian farmer named Joe has built a basement that costs him almost 7 years…That’s really a long time, but why? The answer lies in the fact that the basement was finished using merely R/C tractors and trucks. You see, these toy vehicles are so mini-sized that they surely would take some time…

Pudding Machine that Yells at Kids

20111222003

Usually kids enjoy more things than adults, but sometimes that may become totally different: the vending machine merely offers free pudding samples to adults. Developed by Intel, the dispenser is built with face recognition to check the age of anyone who approaches, by analyzing facial data such as the size of eyes and their distance apart, so as to determine whether or not to give you a sample. Of course the machines may make mistakes as they cannot read your ID, but in quite most cases the kids would receive nothing from them.

20111123001

Too luxury… Even though we know what is burning in front of us is simply cash-shaped candle instead of real money, we still cannot bear that. If I’ve gotten such a unique money candle, I’ll just place it on my table, see it every day to encourage myself to work hard while never burn it… So what about you?

Pizza Sleeping Bag

20111122027

Well, we’re now in a pizza world: when we feel hungry, we eat some pizza; and when we feel sleepy, we go to bed with a pizza…Bit of crazy, right? But still funny.

Mommy Tummy Invites Users to Experience a Real-life Fetus.

20110924001

Men can hardly imagine how hard the pregnancy would be, until they could now experience a real-life fetus with this simulator designed by Kosaka Lab at the Kanagawa Institute. It is shaped like a jacket, with rubber balloons, vibrators, a water bag and other things to imitate the changes in the process of pregnancy. Unlike real pregnancies, however, the Mommy Tummy’s gestation period lasts merely two minutes, providing short but enough time for men to live as a mother-to-be.

Baby Head Masks

20110603101

Honestly babies shouldn’t have had such weird expressions as created by designer Landon Meier. Neither are they fit for adults, because they will look more eccentric when used on adult’s bodies.

20110119401

Well, it is really weird and even awful to clip “a pair of eyes” ono hair… Nobody would be willing to see another face on the back of the others’ heads, even though they come with quite charming eyes.

Melted Food As Seat Servers

20100813201

You know something is really disgusting, such as  melting ice cream, brown coffee that has spilled from the cups as well as forks coated with cream.

Embed a watch in the skin

2009071302

Wow, so awesome! Traditionally, you wear a watch, but now you…support a watch. Embedded in your skin, the watch is powered by the biological energy, and that’s why I mean you support a watch. If you’d like to reset the time, you firstly have to connect the watch to other external devices, in a wireless way of course. Moreover, the watch won’t appear unless you flex your wrist. Pity it’s just a concept watch at present. Could anyone develop a real one? Let me know.
