ECO FRIENDLY DOGGIE DISHWASHER…

 

 

Worried about getting all your Thanksgiving dishes done in a green way? Of course, you could do them by hand, but that would waste water. Here’s a great solution. We’ll call it the Eco Friendly Dishwasher. They say that a dog’s mouth is much cleaner than a human’s. Seriously?! Yes…Seriously cute! You can get yours from your local animal rescue organization.

IN VITRO MEAT…

 

 

PETA always seems to be great at providing us with stories for our Seriously?! column.  While we applaud their mission, they can just be so over the top in so many gloriously funny ways. The latest is their "in vitro meat" contest.  Even the sound of that is pretty gross. Yes, an aspiring scientist can win $1 million for coming up with a way to grow chicken meat in a laboratory without killing any animals, but rather using animal stem cells. It has to taste and look just like the real thing and must be manufactured and sold successfully in at least 10 states. Seriously?!  Is this truly one of the great problems of the world that scientists should be focusing on? Can we cure diseases or maybe solve global warming first?!

SOLAR POWERED CACTUS…

 

 

This falls under the category of "why?"  This is…and we quote…"The Amazing Solar Powered Cactus." We’re all for the wonders of solar power, but what inventor extraordinaire came up with the idea of creating a plastic (not at all eco friendly) dancing cactus that is run by solar power.  Okay, we get that it’s meant to be entertaining and we get that it can run forever with no impact on the environment, but Seriously?!  Maybe if you watch it while drinking lots of organic tequila, it could provide hours of pleasure going back and forth…back and forth…back and forth…Ole!

TOILET LID SINK

 

 

Why are eco inventors so obsessed with our bathrooms… especially our toilets?!  A while back, we brought you the toilet/ washing machine… Then it was the bathtub/sink and now… the Toilet Lid Sink.  Yes, now you can sit down, take care of business, flush and the water that would otherwise go down the toilet is routed up to the spigot on the Toilet Lid Sink so you can wash your hands. Seriously?!  If you’re flexible, we imagine you wouldn’t even have to get up. We’re told that the water that goes to the sink is "pure," but still, just the thought of washing our hands with toilet water is a little hard to swallow. (Did I just say that…?)

AIRPOD…

 

 

Just when we were starting to get used to the teeny weeny Smart Car, along comes a teenier weenier car, powered by…wait for it…air. How amazing would that be if all of our cars could be powered by air!  But, alas, this first take has us a bit puzzled. Why does it have to look like the pod that took the princess back to her alien planet in Men in Black II? Seriously?!  Well…it is called the AirPod, so maybe the designers wanted it to look futuristic.  Perhaps they enlisted George Jetson in the design process?  But we digress, the AirPod is powered by a compressed air system, which uses electricity to compress huge amounts of air in small tanks.  When the air is slowly released, it drives the pistons that move the car.  Fantastic concept, but there’s definitely work to do on that body style and, from what we understand, this baby gets up to a whopping 40 miles per hour. So, currently, our car of the future drives like a golf cart.  But it’s a start!
