The air freshener that snows on smell

As my title suggested, this air freshener is an air gun cleaning device that supposedly kills aroma in the air instead of masking it with perfume. Concept wise, it looks like you’re spraying snow all over the place but in fact, it is micro-bubbles that will trap odors and diffuse it before drying up on it’s own.

The Kinnikuman Year

kinnikuman.jpg

For all you manga fans out there, Kinnikuman is celebrating their 29th anniversary this year. What was initially a parody of Ultraman quickly gained popularity and won the hearts of many with its cute characters in the series.

To celebrate Kinnikuman Year (why 29 and not 30? Well, the number 2 in Japanese is “ni” and the number 9 in Japanese is “ku”), Bandai is offering Kinnikuman solid gold figure to commemorate their year. Why pick gold figurines? Well, Kin means gold in Japanese. :) All the signs points to an auspicious anniversary for the manga.

Bandai is estimating that each solid gold Kinnikuman will be sold for ¥49,350, actual price will reflect the price for gold in the market.

Watch a clip from Kinnikuman

Unfortunately, you can no longer order your solid gold Kunnikuman as the dateline for pre-order has closed. It is only a made-to-order product and it is scheduled to deliver to everyone by 29th of August, which is Kinnikuman’s anniversary date.

Dead Fred Pen Holder

dead_fred.jpg

I would fancy having Fred DEAD on my table as I stab my pen into him. The pen is mightier than the sword, they say and this underlines quote very, very well.

You could also pretend Fred is someone else, a bossy employer with stinky socks and bad breath or the annoying little kid would pees in your rose bushes – anything is better than breaking the law, break it on Fred.

Specs:
* Silicone rubber
* Perfect for pen or pencil
* Dimensions: 5″ x 2.75″ (12.5 x 7 cm)

Stabbing fun, Dead Fred Pen Holder costs $9.99 from ThinkGeek.

If you would like to say, hold your knives in an unsettling manner that treads the fine line of “acceptance”, you could check out The Ex as well.

Locking your rolls

toilet-roll-puzzlejpg.gif

It is not really a toilet paper roll lock, it is more of the idea that the toilet paper’s locked. You see, this little decoration in your bathroom could cause more harm than good to your house guest. They might have trouble trying to figure out the lock than realizing that the toilet paper roll is actually *not* lock…expect hours of fun while you go back and forth the toilet asking if your guests need any assistance when they just drop a stink bomb and your ventilator’s broken. Nice.

Product Page: This is nerd approved. :P

Run car with water – folly?

The water to gas idea has been around for ages. Many people were unconvinced and feared that the conversion of water to Hydrogen can actually cause more harm than good. I have news for you, the water for gas is not a folly idea. Many people have used it and saved up for 60% in fuel because of it. The scare that cars will explode midway driving is purely fear instilled by those in the oil company, make sense?

How is car to run by water is really quite simple. All you need to do is build a kit which converts water to HHO instead of H2. HHO is a very stable molecule unlike it’s cousin H2 and can supply the hydrogen needed to run a car as well as gas run cars. Alternative source of energy like these have been thwarted by oil companies around the world for a very simple reason, they are bad for business.

But now with the raising prices in oil, the folly is on those who keeps buying what these oil capitalists have to say. To be honest, and I don’t always write about my personal life, my father’s BMW is run by the water kit. He tells me that he still pumps his tank but the kit he installed in his car makes fuel burn more efficiently and he gets better mileage with his full tank than before. Previously, 1 gallon of gas gets him 13.5km, now 1 gallon gets him 34km and he is not blown into pieces yet, as claimed by those parties who said it is unsafe.

This alternative fuel saving kit is used by hundreds of people in US and because there are no funding for research, the results for different cars vary. Some cars save 30% from their fuel when they use this kit and some cars save up to 110% but it is a sure guarantee that you will pay less for gas when you use the kit. You can buy the kit to make your own water run car here: Water4Gas

The Japanese have even invented a car that runs purely on water based on similar systems, check out the video

When i have a car, and it will be an Infiniti EX from Acura :), I am going to install such system and SAVEEEEEEEEE.
