The things we do to our best friends... part 5.
2007-03-06 15:55:00
Made of the same plastic used in construction hard hats, this mutt helmet is promised to protect a pet's head from "wind, windblown objects and other irritants when riding on a motorcycle, in a car, truck or boat". It is also claimed to be quite the thing for "blind dogs or any pet that requires protection from minor head trauma when bumping into things" and customizable for "almost any pet dog, cat or guinea pig". I spy a joke, here, but I can't be sure since the whole thing is a joke to me. USD 26:95 on Zoomer Gear.

Archie, the Bag-in-Box content calculator.
2007-03-06 15:55:00
In case you've ever wondered how much wine there's left in the box, or, heaven forbid, exactly how much you had to drink last night, here's the answer. Archi e, the BIB calculator. Archie will, given a 3 liter, 11,5 cm wide box is placed upon it, calculate how many 75 cl bottles or 12,5 cl glasses of wine remains in the box. Or the other way around, how many have been consumed. Archie also has four different memories, so you can use it to keep track of four different drinkers' consumption. I guess that's what the four colored buttons are for. But after half a box, who would remember if he's blue or green? And who would care, anyway?

Bacon wallet.
2007-03-06 15:55:00
What can I say?... well, to begin with, I don't think it will be a big item in Israel. Or in any of the Arab countries, Pakistan and Indonesia, for that matter. No jew or muslim in their right minds would want to be found dead with one of these. But hey, if nothing else, here's something to distinguish the Christians from the rest of the world. USD 8:99 on Perpetual Kid.

The things we do to our best friends... part 4.
2007-03-06 15:55:00
The caption on I Am Bored, where I found this picture of the miserable dog said: "Poor Dog. I can just hear him saying, "Please, save me." I think the dog is saying something else. I think he's saying: "Please shoot me!". Can someone please take this poor dog out of his misery? Or even better, take his owner out of his or her misery and let the dog be a dog and not wear friggin' clothes? Previous installments in the "The things we do..." series can be found after the jump.

Dead bird catnip-spiked cat toy.
2007-03-06 15:55:00
From the web site: "...The perfect decoy for the cat on the prowl! The life sized birds come with or without handcast pewter twigs. They can be perched high only to be watched until it's play time or they can be perched just out of reach for some more athletic fun. Hand stitched in designer wools and cottons. Each bird is deliciously stuffed with certified organic catnip and fattened with poly-fill." Wow. Wouldn't you get one for kitty? My cat is crazy about catnip. She goes practically bananas. I sometimes think it's like feline meth or something. These mocking birds are availaible in black, white or tweed for USD 16:- on Greener Grass Design.

I can't believe this... well, the word I was going to use is perhaps not appropriate, but for those in the know, it's one of the four letter kind. Everybody who knows me know I love dogs, and that I hate to see them abused. And this is what I would call abuse. The sheepdog is perhaps the most clever breed around, but still they are willing to do anything for their master. To see abuse of a beautiful, loyal and trusting dog like this makes it hard for me to keep my dinner down. I don't care if you say "the dog loves it". Will someone please put the dogs master out of his or her misery? Related entries: The things we do... part 1 and The things we do... part 2.

Kiddie treadmill.
2006-11-11 20:27:00

Cake plates for exact measurements.
2006-10-31 17:49:00
I've been looking at these two pictures again and again, not being able to decide where to post them. They are fun, but are they smart and belong on Smart Stuff? Or are they cool enough to fit on Cool Finds? Or are they just crazy? Well here goes. I just decided they are crazy enough and belong right here. I present the most accurate cake plates in the world. Who can say their piece of cake is smaller, now? From Swiss TMP. Who else, but the Swiss? Made of hardened glass and designed by Gessaga & Hindermann.

As if the cartoons was not enough...
2006-10-31 17:48:00
The dust after the fight over the pretty un-funny "Mohammed cartoons" has hardly settled and here comes another blow. The dashboard Mohammed. To add to the dashboard Jesus, Elvis and hula girl that already crowds the dashboard of your pickup-truck. Someone had to manufacture a figure after one of the cartoons and now tries to peddle them on-line. Would look just right on the dash of one of those "civilian security contractors" armored Explorers in Baghdad I suppose.
