This is a video of the latest ‘ultra high efficiency’ dishwasher modded by Youtubers PlumberJohn and STS_3D. It can jump up and down on its legs (an important feature), quick-dry dishes with a flamethrower, and launch the dish racks out of the washer when a cycle is complete. Now that

Did you know an estimated 264,000 gallons of urine are splashed out of urinals daily? That is not a pool I would want to swim in. Not even dip my toes. To help prevent return fire, these are a few new urinal designs created and tested by scientists with the

The Luft Balloon Clock is a wall clock (also includes a desk stand) that looks like a transparent mylar balloon. Available from Lox in orange and beige for $146 apiece, the clocks measure approximately 13″ round and operate on a single AA battery. Me? I operate on veins full of
