This is a rather amazing idea, a hand charger for your mobile phone. How many times have we been out somewhere and our mobile phone has run out of charge? Ideal for putting into your car, and a great backup if you have a breakdown. Also good to take abroad so that you can dispense with the continental adapter, brilliant for camping holidays where you do not always have access to electricity. The faster you wind the handle the more charge it produces.

Works with these model phones:
Samsung:A288,A300,V200,N208,V208,S508,P408,S208,
A408,A308,A508,P400.

Aquasaurus or Triops Longicaudatus which they actually are called have existed for more then 350 mill. years.
The eggs of the aquasaurus can dry out completely and stay like this for almost 25 years without dying. Like this they lie waiting for water to hatch. Biologists think that this is one of the main reasons for their survival for such a long time.


In the kit you will get a fish tank, dried eggs, food, thermometer and instructions , and all you have to do is add fresh spring water (not tap water). Wait till the water is room temperature before adding the eggs. It is important that the water is kept at a constant room temperature. All in all it is quite important that you read and follow the instructions carefully.
Within 24 hours of adding the eggs to the water they will hatch and within their 40-90 days lifespan they can grow up to 5 cm in length. Some will grow faster then others . Deeply Weird !!



If you are really interested I found this link, I have to confess I was more than a little curious myself.

This has to be a classic, I wept with laughter when I found this, but realistically, this is a very good idea, that could be used and adapted by all. The Indicatears fit behind the ears and are then activated via a belt/shirt clip attachment to signal your intention to turn left or right. They could be used by cyclists, or in a busy city centre. Here in Spain they should be compulsory especially for the women with shopping trollys who usually make a dead stop in front of you, then reverse taking out your ankles with the trolly and anyone else's in the vicinity.

The perfect solution for those that find themselves starting to nod off in the middle of their activities.

Activates with the tilt of the head and wakes you back up so you can continue. For really sound sleepers
Have you ever struggled in the dark, trying to hold onto a torch but still needing to use two hands? I guess we have all been there, and we end up trying to either prop the torch up, or end up clenching the thing between our teeth. Well all those probles are in the past with this nifty device. This is the ear light. Why it was not thought of before is a mystery to me.

I used to think that beer bellys were very unattractive, but now I am not so sure. The amazing Beerbelly is an ingenious device, but looks just like a beer belly when worn under clothing. This is actually a beer dispensing device for the discerning drinker.

The Beerbelly Made up of an insulated neoprene sling and a polyurethane bladder connected to a dispensing tube, the Beerbelly holds up to 2.3 Litres (over four pints) of beer and will stay cold for hours with the freezer pack.

Excellent for those rip off events where you pay a fortune for a drink. Just fill it up, add the feezer pack, and have your dispensing tube at the ready.
The height of chic......invite your friends around for some drinks and amaze then with your bartending skills. Cunningly disguised as a hip flask with a database of over 500 drinks.

* Electronic drinks database.
* Easy to use menus
* Find by ingredient or alphabetically
* Shows every ingredient and measures for perfect mix.
* Recommends most popular drinks for different occasions.
* Demonstrates mixing techniques.
* Batteries included.


I have to giggle at this one, now we all must have wondered who used the soap last and where? Go on you know you did.......No problems with this one even colour coded to make sure.



The new H20 Multi-Function Clock which has a revolutionary patented water-power battery.

The battery needs to be topped up with water and the clock will come to life. If you rotate the clock in 90 degree turns a device inside changes the display from Time to Temperature to Alarm and then to a Timer.

* Time and date

* Temperature (Celsius and Fahrenheit)

* Alarm

* Timer

To keep a constant supply of energy refill as the water evaporates, usually every 2-3 months. All the components parts of the H20 water power battery are recyclable .....no more batteries, very eco friendly, and good looking too.

I like this gadget, not only is it chic, but also economically, and ecologically friendly.
