Dodecagonal clock
Ameico Inc. make a number of 'fashion' products - some are actually useful too.
The picture shows their dodecagonal-shaped clock which makes it easy for travellers to maintain the right time in different timezones.
And before anyone says anything - yes, I know there are places that are only 30 minutes (or even just 15 minutes) offset from their neighbours. Nothing is perfect is it?
Mentioning time - I hope you were on time for the start of school yesterday

Absurd English spellings
The Simplified Spelling Society has an interesting site and their aim should appeal to a lot of our students - judging by some of the work I see on a daily basis.
Among a range of sections is one that features poems that highlight some of the inconsistencies in the English language. Like this one:
| Eye halve a spelling checker It came with my pea sea It plainly marques for my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a word And weight four it to say Weather eye am wrong oar write It shows me strait a weigh. As soon as a mist ache is maid It nose bee fore two long And eye can put the error rite It's rare lea ever wrong. Eye have run this poem threw it Eye am shore your pleased two no It's letter perfect awl the weigh My checker tolled me sew. by Margo Roark. |
Link to this came from BoingBoing which in turn found it from Plasticbag.

Case Mods - Ultimate List
Neatorama bills this section as "The Ultimate List of Case Mods".
There are certainly a huge number to look through with topics from 'animal' to 'household items' (see above).
I like the toaster above because it reminds me of the lunatic toaster from the BBC TV comedy series 'Red Dwarf'.
