This unique, funnel shaped umbrella harnesses the flow of rainwater down into its handle, a water pistol. The user can fire at will, maintaining a constant flow of water as long as rain continues to fall!
uhm……i don’t want to rain on anybody’s parade but….how is a water fight in the rain effective?? And how long would it have to drip down the handle?
I so want one. Mwahaha!
so I went to my course portal’s discussion board and saw two coursemates of mine with some very cheesy, (some) law-related pickup lines.
“Hello there… I’m here to do completion?”
“Oh, yes, sure, hang on, let me get the documents.”
“Oh… No need for that my dear… you complete me as it is.” -Wink-Bring a ring and go
“Hi I am here to do completion. The property would be..our new house baby.”
and then pop the ring to her.When they ask you what the property is, say:
“In your arms, baby, ‘cus that’s where I wanna spend the rest of my life.”“Hi can I lodge a caveat against any other interested parties with regards to the property called YOUR NEXT BOYFRIEND?”
“Completion? No… I’m here on a theft case, ‘cus baby, you just stole my heart.”
“Hi I would like to sue you for false imprisonment cause baby, I have been trapped in that sweet eyes of yours since the day we met”
HAHAHAHAHA!

Why not “Welcome to our POO” with no “L”? >:D
In the original sleeping beauty, the lovely princess is put to sleep when she pricks her finger on a spindle. She sleeps for one hundred years when a prince finally arrives, kisses her, and awakens her. They fall in love, marry, and (surprise surprise) live happily ever after. But alas, the original tale is not so sweet (in fact, you have to read this to believe it.) In the original, the young woman is put to sleep because of a prophesy, rather than a curse.
And it isn’t the kiss of a prince which wakes her up: the king seeing her asleep, and rather fancying having a bit, rapes her. After nine months she gives birth to two children (while she is still asleep). One ofthe children sucks her finger which removes the piece of flax which was keeping her asleep. She wakes up to find herself raped and the mother of two kids.
Same Sex Penguin Couple
Harry and Pepper are a pair of adorable male Magellan penguins at the San Francisco Zoo. The couple’s relationship began in 2003, and they were together for the last 6 years. The two black-and-white birds paired off when outgoing Harry befriended Pepper, an introvert who sticks mostly to his burrow. At the time, the two were adolescents and everyone assumed they were just friends. But soon they were nesting together. Harry would gather grass and bring it home to Pepper, who would arrange it tidily in their burrow. Single females would come around, but both birds never seemed interested.

They even adopted an egg together in 2008, as the pair was allowed to incubate and hatch an egg another penguin had laid. “Of all of the parents that year, they were the best,” Brown said. “They took very good care of their chick. He ended up being the largest chick on the island.” Sadly the happy couple broke up in 2009.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Couple with the Same Full Name, Meet Mr and Ms Kelly Hildebrandt
It’s not too unusual to hear stories of married couples who met online. But it IS unusual when that couple that meets online and marries also has the same name. In this case, it’s a guy from Texas named Kelly Hildebrandt and a gal from Florida named Kelly Hildebrandt. They are about to get married. Kelly Hildebrandt met Kelly Hildebrandt when Kelly, the girl, looked up her own name on Facebook. “I was like, ‘I wonder if there’s any other Kelly Hildebrandts on Facebook’,” she explained. “So, I searched my own name and he’s the only one that came up. And actually, in the picture, he didn’t have his shirt on, and I’m like, ‘oh, he’s cute!’” And the Kelly in Texas was also intrigued. “She started off, ‘Hey, I see we have the same name, and I thought it was kinda cool, so I wanted to say hi, I guess’. Lots of laughs,” he said… Eight months after that innocent Facebook message, Kelly proposed to Kelly, and pretty soon they’ll become Kelly Hildebrandt squared.

Mamihlapinatapai is a word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the “most succinct word”, and is considered one of the hardest words to translate. It describes “a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.” (via Martin)
Acoustic Kitty was a CIA project in the 1960s attempting to use cats in spy missions. A battery and a microphone were implanted into a cat and an antenna into its tail. Due to problems with distraction, the cat’s sense of hunger had to be addressed in another operation. Surgical and training expenses are thought to have amounted to over $20 million. The first cat mission was eavesdropping on two men in a park. The cat was released nearby, but was hit and killed by a taxi almost immediately. (via Kaylie)
HAHAHAHAHA! All those investing on a kitty, and no one thought about whether the kitty knows how to cross the road?
In shopping mall design, the Gruen transfer refers to the moment when a consumer enters a shopping mall, and, surrounded by an intentionally confusing layout, loses track their original intentions. Spatial awareness of their surroundings play a key role, as does the surrounding sound and music. The effect of the transfer is marked by a slower walking pace and glazed eyes. (via dustinrjacobson)
