Fossilized Ice Trays: A Pre-historic delight!
As a kid, I was always fascinated by the Jurassic Park movies and Dinosaur visuals, so I pretty much assume that the cult carries on through genetic inheritance. I know your kids love those prehistoric monsters and simply hope that they come alive some day. While we can wipe that thought out, we can also make them a little happy with this interesting set of 2 silicone Triceratops and T. Rex ice (age) trays that create fossilized ice cubes for Jurassic drinks.

Scrabble tiles make up a curvaceous nude woman sculpture
Over the years, I've seen that scrabble tiles have been put to a lot of uses. This time it's the turn of Scrabble sculptures. These are not any ordinary sculptures, in fact they are curvaceous female nude sculptures made by British Artist David Mach. Mach-2 his project also makes use of dominoes and cut up vintage postcards and photos apart from scrabble tiles. Check out Myslexic, a chiaroscuro female nude sculpture comprised of scrabble tiles. It looks sensuous and literary at the same time if that's possible. This must be the dream woman of every man who likes to play with words. It reminds me of sculptures from an olden era, but with a modern scrabble touch. Wonder if he would remake the statue of David with scrabble tiles!

Recession is making manufacturers create the most peculiar products in the hope that they will strike gold. So it is our duty as customers to be smart and pick out a worthwhile product from the lot. And here is the latest tricky product for all iPhone users to judge. Named the iCooly, it is a stand for your iPhones. In “stand” mode, the iClooly works both vertically and horizontally, and the big clip curves down to give your phone a sturdy and strong support. The iCooly might attract quite a few stares when you place it in your pockets. But what has bothered me is the price. At $33, it makes me ask only one question: Is it worth it?

A pair of powerful magnets underneath the clay surface moves the tiny orbs in a circular path to tell the current time. But here is the fun part.

The simple aesthetic beauty of this timepiece will surely mesmerize everyone.

At first glance you might think it is an ordinary pillow. But there’s more to this pillow-like thing than meets the eye. Known as the Fukitorimushi, it is an autonomous floor-cleaning robot that was recently unveiled at Tokyo Fiber Senseware exposition in Milan. Fukitorimushi (lit. “wipe-up bug”) is designed by Panasonic and incorporates nanofiber technology developed by textile maker Teijin, Ltd.

The robot uses “feelers” of blue-white light to search for floor grime and once it finds a dirty spot; the robot emits a red light and puts extra effort to cleaning that area.

Weird Boneless Dieting Belt helps burn fat by splitting the bulges
People who are trying to lose weight will try anything once. It's true, believe me! That's why products like the Boneless Belt are around. It's a unisex belt that has to be worn under the dieter's clothing. Let me tell you that this is one of the most weird belts I have seen in my entire life. Good thing we have to wear it under our clothing and not over. I wouldn't want this to be the next fashion statement. The scientific mambo jumbo from the Japanese says that the structure of the rubber belt is a large mesh grid that splits the dieter's belly, side and back fat into easily manageable blobs.
Dry Erase Wall Clock might tick away your forgetfulness
I am prone to forgetting appointments and being late all the time. I always thought there is no cure for this. I have tried almost all kinds of reminders and alarms, but nothing seems to work.

If you don't mind spending that much, it is available here.
