The flip-flops which don't flip or flop

11:34 PM by mr. simplicity · 1 comments


The flip-flops which don't flip or flopThe topless flipflop - a sandal with no straps and no apparent way of staying on your foot. The secret is the tacky water-based glue that keeps the foamy sole in place but does not come off on skin.

In the two weeks since the sandals have gone on sale - under the slogan "flip-flops that don't flip or flop" - an astonishing 3,000 pairs have been sold, despite minimal publicity.

"They do need more tender loving care than the usual sandal - a regular brush in soapy water to keep them sticky. And they work more easily with girls rather than heavy men, although mine are still working."

The flip-flops, which come in five designs, including beach, rainforest and aloha sunset, cost £12.50 each and are available in three sizes - small, medium and large.

Invented in the U.S. and made in China, they have already proved a hit in Australia and Canada, where thousands of pairs have been sold.

World's Longest Trans-sea Bridge

11:39 PM by mr. simplicity · 1 comments


world's longest trans-sea bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing structure Hangzhou Bay Trans-sea Bridge was formally linked-up after a final section was welded (above) on June 26 one year ahead of the original schedule. The bridge is located south of the business hub of Shanghai.

The bridge links Shanghai to the industrial city of Ningbo across Hangzhou Bay, cutting the distance between them from about 250 miles to just 50 miles. Costing 11.8 billion yuan (£0.77 billion), the structure will open to traffic 2008 following completion of the six-lane roadway that will permit vehicles to travel at speeds of up to 62 miles (100 km) per hour.

Earlier this month builders connected the final link in the 20.13-mile-long Sutong Bridge, the longest cable-stayed structure of its kind, across the Yangtze River, north of Shanghai.

Sex joke ad costs £1,000
A couple have been ordered to remove their cheeky car wash firm slogan that promised: “The best hand-job in town.”

The sign on the side of a lorry also showed a bikini-clad blonde soaping down a pink Cadillac.

But councillors in Goole, East Yorks, branded it inappropriate and Soapy Rides owners Nigel and Michaela Kennings, both 37, were fined £400 with £600 costs by magistrates.

Michaela, 37, said: “It’s absolutely ridiculous. The sign has caused great amusement to customers.

“We are surrounded by old warehouses and this brightened up the area.”

A council spokesman said: “We asked a number of times for the sign to be removed.”

Air Guitar becomes reality in Japan

11:09 PM by mr. simplicity · 0 comments


Instead of strumming the air guitar, they can do that with a toy now! Exclusively made in Japan

Air Guitar becomes reality in JapanAir guitars just got real. Japanese toy makers unveiled "air guitar" gadgets at the annual Tokyo International Toy Show that, thanks to heat and motion sensors, actually make music.

"This is a toy that allows anybody to sound and feel like a rock star," said Keishi Abe, who was demonstrating Takara Tomy Corp's "Air Guitar Pro."

The gadget has 10 songs, including Deep Purple's "Smoke On the Water," programmed to play automatically and is set to hit the market next month.

It can also be connected to an MP3 music player or a speaker system, the manufacturer says.

Manufacturers also showcased air guitars that could be attached to your wrist and which blasted music as you moved.

"You just put it on your wrist and shake your arm once so it will play one phrase. In order to play an entire song, you just keep moving your arm so even children can easily play music," said Nana Kaneko, who was playing "Air Musician" by Tokyo-based toy maker Mega House.

Eclyse, the amazing zebra crossing

9:26 PM by mr. simplicity · 0 comments


Eclyse, hybrid of horse and zebraIt looks as if someone tried to give a zebra a respray. . . then ran out of white paint halfway through the job. But in reality there is no artificial colouring on display here. This amazing but natural coat belongs to Eclyse the zorse.

Her father is a zebra, while her mother is a horse. And she's walking proof of how a child inherits genes from both parents.

The one-year-old zorse was the accidental product of a holiday romance when her mother, Eclipse, was taken from her German safari park home to a ranch in Italy for a brief spell.

There she was able to roam freely with other horses and a number of zebras, including one called Ulysses who took a fancy to her.

The foal was promptly given a name that is in itself a hybrid, of her parents' names.

Now she's become a major attraction at a safari park at Schloss Holte Stukenbrock, near the German border with Holland, where she has her own enclosure.

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit, wife and son found dead

6:10 PM by mr. simplicity · 0 comments


Pro WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, wife and son found deadFirst, it was Mr Perfect, then Eddie Guerrero and now it's Chris Benoit turn. A tragic and mysterious death of these wrestling superstars.

WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a homicide.

Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said the three were found at their home about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.

Pope said results of autopsies on Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7-year-old son Daniel were expected Tuesday.

Benoit, 40, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career.

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said in a statement on its Web site.

Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."

Benoit, a Canadian native, maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.
