Icelandic designer, Liborius Reykjavík, has created an cardboard work-table that can be broken down into a suitcase sized carrier that weighs very little for the table it provides. The table is meant to be reusable and is fairly sturdy. Cool design but I don't see this being used outdoors any time soon. Unless it's weighted down or something. SOURCE

Here is an interesting new drink. With all the craze of "energy" drinks lately I guess it was only a matter of time before someone created the polar opposite. This drink contains melatonin, valerian root, and rose hips which enable you to "slow your roll." The drink appears to be based on the cough syrup based recreational drug known as "Purple Drank." I wonder if this is healthy to use as a sleep aid? SOURCE

This is an awesome new marketing thing for Papa John's pizza. This brochure actually sticks to your door right below your peephole and provides an optical illusion making it seem as though a pizza guy is already at your door. This is sure to inspire some spontaneous orders. I'm sure whoever came up with this idea is getting a pay raise. SOURCE

Here's a really creepy picture that will surely strike fear into your heart. The perfect ticket. Here's party unity for you. SOURCE

"The Magical Water Princess" is in fact not a princess at all. It is a Japanese restroom accessory that is placed in toilet stalls in Japan in order to make it impossible to hear others using the restroom. The device emits a chirping sound for privacy. It is apparently a major fear of Japanese women to have others hearing them use the restroom. In the 80's women used to flush the toilet multiple times while they were using it in order to cover up the sounds involved. This ended up wasting an insane amount of water and costing restaurants and other public places insane amounts of money. Check out the video below and the link below that for more info on this strange device.

Some lady named "Jen" who is apparently a "Mommy" has created a placebo pill that is cherry flavored for kids. The product is cleverly named "Obecalp."I think the idea is that you give your kid the pill and you trick him into getting better. I can see how this could go terribly wrong. Some stupid Mom gives her kid the pill and he has pneumonia. And trust me, there are a lot of stupid Mom's out there. Check out his Mom's product through the link below the picture.

"Hi. Welcome to the Placebo Store. I'm Jen. I am a mommy. It's what I love. It's my job to make owies go away. Whether it's a kiss or a big hug, the magic happens immediately. This is the power of placebo."

Nintendo DS users in Tokyo will now be able to bring their DS with them to a McDonald's and download the menu and look at menu item descriptions. This is kind of a weird marketing strategy since someone will be near a menu anyway when they are in a McDonald's. For any of you DS users out there do you think corporate marketing strategies through your DS is a good idea or just marketing spam? Check the link below for the full source story.LINK

Sears has a new suit available which certainly is unique due to the fact that it is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. They are called EcoGir suits and are even machine washable. An interesting way of trying to save the Earth but I'm gonna be skeptical till I get a chance to feel the material's texture. The suits are created by the company Bagir and will cost approximately $200. Chewck out the full story through the link below on treehugger.com.LINK

This is really freakin' weird. Val Thomas, a West Virginia woman, had two heart attacks which lead to no brain waves occuring for more than 17 hours. Then her heart stopped and she was considered dead by doctors. Rigor Mortis, the condition that causes dead bodies to stiffen had already set in and her fingers had began to curl. A respiratory machine kept her "lifeless" body breathing for consideration for organ donation. Ten minutes after they pulled everything other than the respirator she woke up and started talking to people in the room. Needless to say, doctors are stunned with this first time medical miracle/mystery. Check out the news story at the link below.LINK
