Hopefully, nobody will think of accusing us of supporting alcohol consumption as we declare that drinking games and gadgets are some of the funniest things one could ever come across. Now, you don't necessarily have to be a party animal to like a glass (or two or some more) once in a while; and why not making things even funnier, especially if you're together with your friends? Well, if fun, laughter and some booze is your game, then you'll surely appreciate the Russian Roulette Beer Bong, one of the craziest and funniest drinking games we've happened to stumble upon during the last months.You all know (or should know) w...

Chindogu is the art of inventing solutions for very specific and particular problems; nevertheless, such a specialized form of problem-solving comes with two major side-effects. The first one is that these solutions, namely specific objects and gadgets, when used to solve a problem, will most likely bring at least a new one and more often than not numerous others. The second issue of Chindogu is that using such a solution would usually generate a lot of social embarrassment. Putting these two together we get some useful inventi...

But when it comes to the Razorblade Mirror, it's sure that nobody will remain indifferent. It just takes a little bit more nerve than usual to wake up every morning and smile at the razorblade. Designer Phil Sims thought that the shape of a razorblade was something cool and thus he turned it into another functional object to have around the house: a mirror. If you're the kind of person who fears cutting objects such as knives, scissors and the likes, you'll most likely throw very conspicuous looks at this interior desi...

Yet we're introducing to you a special goo: the Cyber Clean, one amazing gadget that will most likely instantly become the best friend of those cleanliness maniacs... and even more. As we tend to our daily business, we're using a lot of tools with shapes and designs that are prone to gather and shelter bacteria and other similar not-so-healthy life forms; and here we must add computer keyboards, said to host more bacteria and germs than a toilet seat, mobile phones, which gather a lot of dirt between keys and in other orifices, and the list could go on forever. Now, som...

Beagle Stormglass a try. Sounds at least exciting, doesn't it? Having "storm" – a brutal and forceful natural power – and "glass" – the definition of containment – in the same place should raise your interest. So, what's up with this stormglass thing, you might ask.The principle behind the operation of the stormglass isn't fully understood and has been a mystery ever since 1750, when Admiral FitzRoy and...

But the really hot things are yet to come, as this disco light is entirely energy-saving because it uses no electricity – it works on candle-power. All you have to do to set the groove in motion is to light two candles and place them in their designated places, then enjoy the rotating small sparkles around you and play that Bee Gees CD.The gadget is ridiculously simple in its principle, but the fun is simply immense: as the candles burn, the air gets hot and ...

Indeed, there are rather few people who can instantly come back to their senses after being exposed to this strikingly weird contraption: we're talking about a small, pocket-sized toy resembling a banana, which you can endlessly peel over and over again. And here is where things end abruptly: why on Earth would somebody be looking for such a thing? Is peeling a banana the next trend in pocket toys? Has Tamagochi been killed? PSP is no more? What's wrong with them, all of a sudden?Now, Japan is a place where stran...

Building on ergonomic designs or simply trying to think outside the box, the most intriguing and fascinating furniture emerges – and if we're talking chairs, recliners and the likes, it really looks like the possibilities are almost infinite.Solid proof in this regard comes from the British designer Matthew Plummer-Fernandez in the body of the SoundChair.Now, the very special c...
