Walnut YoYo cracks open the shell easily
I love walnuts, but cracking the shell open is such a tedious task. I'm no wonder woman and I have no extra strength, so it really is next to impossible for me. However, even a weakling like me can crack this hard nut with the Walnut YoYo that is designed by Xiaofei Wang and Beibei Wu. All you have to do is place the healthy nut with its shell inside the orb and then smash it against a hard wall to release it from its prison. Just be careful with your nut cracking antics or someone will get hurt!

Machines give dogs a shower in Japan
Dogs hate baths, in fact pets in general hate baths. Who can blame them as they are hydrophobic? I think they'd absolutely loathe machines that are designed to help them bathe. But Japan has been using such gizmos for their pets. Check out the video to get a better idea of how it works. The machine even blow drys your dog. I think my dog would be so annoyed with me if I put him through this process. This machine is best suited for overly pampered poodles that belong to divas.

I agree but the Vertical Prison idea takes it so seriously that it doesn’t allow the criminal to even stay on the ground. This project will be vertical prison in the sky, above the crime-prone land where inmates will have to work and live in a community that will contribute to the host city below. They will give back their due to the city by working. This idea is really swell also the inmates will leave a free life up in the air till the completion of their sentence.
