While I’m shopping for condoms with my fiancee, I put on a strong front. I make sure to announce in a loud voice that we are looking for the Magnum condoms, even though we need nothing of the sort. Shameful, I know, but hey, I’m a man. This 0.6 inch condom was used to promote safe-sex to young people and ...

While the Abisko Washbasin does a fine job of encouraging water conservation, I’d one-up this design and go a bit further. You see, the Abisko Washbasin uses an angled design which allows wasted water to flow its way down through a drainage grill installed in the floor. If you really wanted to encourage people to conserve water, you have to ...

While the little things, such as ice cubes rubbing against my lips and under my nose, aren’t too much of an annoyance to me, there are times, on the hottest of days, when the sweat is just pouring from every pour in my body, those dog days of August, where everything is an earth shattering pain in the asshole.

Hey, pig. Stop dripping nacho cheese all over your t-shirt and get this snout-shaped cup. It’s very appropriate for you. When you take a sip of whatever godforsaken liquid you’re putting in there, you’ll look just like a swine. The swine that you are. Now get in the oven so I can turn you into bacon. Link
