News reaches us today of a self making bed. Yes, you read that correctly, a bed that makes itself and if you don’t believe me look at the pictures.

You see that grinning gentleman? He’s happy because he’ll never have to make his bed ever again. Ever. Again. Doesn’t that sound like a little piece of Heaven?

 Plus he can claim insurance when he breaks his shins getting in and out; his loved ones can have their mortgage paid off when a “freak” accident finds him decapitated one evening; he can then be the first person to trial a self closing coffin.

That kids, is how evolution works.

The Funfair Ride Yesterday

A Pennsylvania woman is set to marry a roller coaster, named the 1001 Nachts. She rides the machine 300 times a year and uses pictures of it to satisfy herself at home. And apparently this isn’t uncommon, and relates to mechaphilia which has been described as “the sexual attraction to inanimate objects”. Often that description is followed by “such as cars, machines and robots”. Interesting and how many of us can say we’ve never been attracted to robots eh?

Eh?

Hello?

Described by some as the wonderbra for men, and by others as man SPANX, Ript is basically a tight t-shirt which is designed to hold in the bad stuff and promote the good – but fake – stuff.

Can anyone say “Eat Less and Exercise”?

In saying that, I know what I want for Christmas. However, I want it blue with a big red S on the front.

Public service? Keeping travellers at home for their holidays than going somewhere exotic? Or just a laugh with a  tinge of cringe?

There has to be a reason for this as there are now 2 sites that focus on horrendous toilets of the world.

Congratulations goes to China for this extraordinary achievement in lactrinal repulsiveness. It even warrents two photos.

Located below a tiny truckers guesthouse in some unnamed village in central China, having aquired the key you entered through horrifying curtains of cobwebs like an Indiana Jones movie. The foot blocks can be seen and its simply a matter of squating down and thinking of England and not the spiders above your head.

*shudder*

In this case, a picture is worth a thousand whys.

While carrying out our usual in depth research to find the very finest of strangeness on the Interweb, we were troubled to find these:

Now let me take you through my thought process:

This is a joke. Has to be. I bet if I Google it I’ll find lots of the usual humor sites with the same image.

I was 50% right: The Sex-kitten.net Store (not safe for work). Unfortunately they’re all sold out of Spermies. However, this all got me thinking about why such things exist? I find it hard to believe that they are of any use in the bedroom department, unless you like to eat sweets in bed. No, the true raison d’etre must be as novelty presents for prospective husbands and wives, secret santees or (apologies, no pun intended) coming-of-age type scenarios such as 21st birthday parties or as a present on your first day of your first job.

Of course, that was before I found out the novelty sex candy industy is worth about $100 million a year.

Anyone feel like joining in on a new business venture?

This morning it came to our attention that those bastions of female undergarments, Triumph International, create a unique bra every year for the Japanese market. This year’s effort is named the Japanese Marriage Bra and has a countdown clock which can only be stopped by the insertion of an engagement ring which has the added effect of kicking off a rendition of “The Wedding March”.

Apparently the reason behind this creation is the fact that Japan has a high rate of single women. Indeed.

Previous years have seen Triumph – a German company, big in Japan – create unique undergarments with titles such as The Solar Powered Bra, The Chopstick Bra and the Postal Bra. It is not known whether there are ever orders placed for these, or indeed if they are manufactured for sale. If so, who would buy such a garment and why?

Perhaps more importantly, will they or competitors ever turn their hand to male underwear? Images of the (literally) Explosive Torpedo Speedos or Newtons Cradle Boxer-briefs pervade the mind and lead it to almost immediate shutdown.

Today’s Wednesday Why is two fold – why do people allow these sorts of pictures to be taken of their families and why is there a site about it?

The answer to one probably begats the other. It all equals awesome.
