These shades can be used to accessorize clothing. The products shots shows that they can be worn as real sunglasses. (See the picture below.)

The warning on the website suggest that you shouldn’t wear the shades as shown in the pictures:

“The WakeMate will analyze your sleep to find the optimal time for you to wake up.”

Nice Cup Bra, a putting mat for the keen golfing lady

Jake — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:34:10 +0000

It shouldn’t be a surprise that this gadget was ‘invented’ in Japan, the mother land of weird gadgets.

The Nice Cup Bra can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5m-long putting mat. When the user sinks a putt into one of the cups, a built-in speaker pumps out a congratulatory “Nice shot!”.

Strange and gross: Ear Wax Camera/Cleaner

Jake — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:14:56 +0000

I’m not sure if this is a gadget or a gross cleaning device. It’s strange, but, I’ve got to admit: inventive. I for one am not going to put a camera in my ear, or in any other cavity.

We haven’t really looked into this gadget, but if someone (the baby in this case) looks that scared, there’s something fishy about it.

Handpresso – no survival without an espresso

Jake — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:27:16 +0000

“Premium quality espresso – anywhere!“

The website shows images of where to use the handpresso: mountain tops and sunny sandy beaches in the Caribbean or French Polynesia.

If you’re on a (planned) survival trip in the mountains the least important thing to take with you is… right! If you’re on a sandy sunny beach, drag your lazy ass to the pool bar or wait for the waiter to come!

Don’t forget to bring your china on the trip!
