April Fool’s Day
Gizmodo is infected with the Conflickr worm, which has led to hilarious results.
Furniture Monica Would Like
Ran across more furniture ideas. Because our home so far is 1) beautiful and 2) a realization of Monica’s vision for a home, we have a policy that all furniture with a hope of becoming a part of our house must first be approved by Monica. It keeps things looking good.
I’m pretty sure these are approved. They’re by the design firm Pal + Smith, who seem way to snooty to sell to the likes of me. They can’t stop me from looking and getting ideas, though.
Fire Water
File this away as so awesome it’s scary. A couple in Colorado thought they smelled gas in the water coming from the faucet, so they decided to do what everyone else does in that situation. They lit the water on fire.
No joke, friends, they lit the water on fire. You can read more about it, and even see a picture of their new fire faucet at CBS’s website.
Robot Cradle
Everyone knows that one day our robotic masters will rise from their primative shackles to a brutal and emotionless reign. To make the transition for future generations as smooth as possible, researchers have developed the robot cradle to take care of human infants while sleeping.
Apparently the cradle monitors noise coming from the mouth-hole of their ward for any unusual deviations. Once it has been determined that the human has awakened, it is promptly put to sleep with the classic lullaby “SLEEP, HUMAN CHILD, SLEEP.” We are all so lucky to live in such a forward thinking time.
