Flying toilet - Disposable Toilet

In the developing world, an estimated 2.6 billion people, or about 40 percent of the earth’s population, do not have access to a toilet, according to United Nations figures. A Swedish entrepreneur is trying to market and sell a biodegradable plastic bag that acts as a single-use toilet for urban slums in the developing world.

Once used, the bag can be knotted and buried, and a layer of urea crystals breaks down the waste into fertilizer, killing off disease-producing pathogens found in feces. The bag, called the Peepoo, is the brainchild of Anders Wilhelmson, an architect and professor in Stockholm.

After successfully testing it for a year in Kenya and India, he said he planned to mass produce the bag this summer.

From innovative to bizzare…some do it yourself bicycles…which bike you would try to invent?

Shoe Cycle

Shoe cycle (or it may also be called a running bike) is hardly faster or more comfortable than a regular bicycle but it is the perfect way to attract attention. If you enjoy being in the limelight, that could be good idea for you to have such a weird bicycle to go out on the weekends.

Office Chair Bike

Like you don’t spend enough time in your office chair! On the other hand, this really looks comfortable. So in case you spend much time on a bike daily, consider this little upgrade: add a 35 pound leather executive office chair.

Water Bike

The bike with water gallons can float on the water. These water gallons are raised, when the bike is on the road.

17 ridiculous laws still on the books in the US

In New Jersey, if you’ve been convicted of drunk driving you may never again have personalized license plates. Sure, get back on the road, but you’ll never get that DRNK4LYFE plate you always dreamed of

In Missouri, it’s illegal to drive with an uncaged bear (caged bears are ok). While this rule is definitely worth following, it’s hard to imagine that the whole ‘bear in car’ issue was ever enough of a problem that creating an entire law against it became a necessary measure

In Connecticut, It’s Illegal To Walk Across A Street On Your Hands…imagine everyone walking on hands just to break the law.

Beyond domino toppling lies the next big thing in kinetic art: xyloexplosive devices. Tim Fort weaved together 2,250 tongue depressors to construct his xyloexplosive device. The tension built up by weaving the sticks together means that the slightest movement or removal of one stick sets off the explosion. Check stick bomb.

100 keywords every high school graduate should know

SJ — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:52:04 +0000

The editors of the American Heritage® dictionaries have compiled a list of 100 words they recommend every high school graduate should know.

“The words we suggest,” says senior editor Steven Kleinedler, “are not meant to be exhaustive but are a benchmark against which graduates and their parents can measure themselves. If you are able to use these words correctly, you are likely to have a superior command of the language.”

I must admit that I have never heard the first three words itself. Sample it abjure, abrogate, abstemious.
