Wrinkle smoother. 2007-03-06 15:56:09 Here's a problem-solver for the ladies. You may not be aware of it, but apparently sleeping on one's side causes women to develop a mid-chest wrinkle showing right where the décolletage is supposed to show only smooth skin. This self adhesive pad is supposed to smooth old chest wrinkles and prevent new ones. USD 29:95 on Problemsolvers. Snakeoil, anyone? Read more:smoother

Kiddie treadmill. 2007-03-06 15:56:04 You do what your parents do. At least until you reach puberty and decide to do the exact opposite. But until then the kid's treadmill will serve as an educational toy, complete with Fisher-Price/My First Sony color scheme. Oh, it's USD 100:-.
As if the cartoons was not enough... 2007-03-06 15:56:00 The dust after the fight over the pretty un-funny "Mohammed cartoons" has hardly settled and here comes another blow. The dashboard Mohammed. To add to the dashboard Jesus, Elvis and hula girl that already crowds the dashboard of your pickup-truck. Someone had to manufacture a figure after one of the cartoons and now tries to peddle them on-line. Would look just right on the dash of one of those "civilian security contractors" armored Explorers in Baghdad I suppose.
Greenback eau de dough. 2007-03-06 15:55:55 It's USD 12:95 for a 5 oz. bottle. Maybe here's where the smell of money comes in... From Liquid Money.
Cake plates for exact measurements. 2007-03-06 15:55:51 I've been looking at these two pictures again and again, not being able to decide where to post them. They are fun, but are they smart and belong on Smart Stuff? Or are they cool enough to fit on Cool Finds? Or are they just crazy? Well here goes. I just decided they are crazy enough and belong right here. I present the most accurate cake plates in the world. Who can say their piece of cake is smaller, now? From Swiss TMP. Who else, but the Swiss? Made of hardened glass and designed by Gessaga & Hindermann.
Paperclips shaped like dog bones. 2007-03-06 15:55:47 Since I'm into dogs I might as well share these crazy paper clips. They are USD 6:50 for a box of 24 on the Sarut Group website. What can i say, for the dog afficionado they're probably a must. For everyone else... just plain fun.
The things we do to our best friends... part 5. 2007-03-06 15:55:43 Made of the same plastic used in construction hard hats, this mutt helmet is promised to protect a pet's head from "wind, windblown objects and other irritants when riding on a motorcycle, in a car, truck or boat". It is also claimed to be quite the thing for "blind dogs or any pet that requires protection from minor head trauma when bumping into things
" and customizable for "almost any pet dog, cat or guinea pig". I spy a joke, here, but I can't be sure since the whole thing is a joke to me. USD 26:95 on Zoomer Gear. Previous installments in the "The things we do..." series here (#1), here (#2), here (#3) and here (#4).
Archie, the Bag-in-Box content calculator. 2007-03-06 15:55:39 In case you've ever wondered how much wine there's left in the box, or, heaven forbid, exactly how much you had to drink last night, here's the answer. Archie
, the BIB calculator. Archie will, given a 3 liter, 11,5 cm wide box is placed upon it, calculate how many 75 cl bottles or 12,5 cl glasses of wine remains in the box. Or the other way around, how many have been consumed. Archie also has four different memories, so you can use it to keep track of four different drinkers' consumption. I guess that's what the four colored buttons are for. But after half a box, who would remember if he's blue or green? And who would care, anyway?
Bacon wallet. 2007-03-06 15:55:36 What can I say?... well, to begin with, I don't think it will be a big item in Israel. Or in any of the Arab countries, Pakistan and Indonesia, for that matter. No jew or muslim in their right minds would want to be found dead with one of these. But hey, if nothing else, here's something to distinguish the Christians from the rest of the world. USD 8:99 on Perpetual Kid. Read more:Bacon

Camouflage bedding for the hunter in you. 2007-03-06 15:55:32 From the website: "Perfect for the home or cabin enabling you to proudly display your passion for the outdoors... Reversible, other side is solid khaki as shown in photo... Other accessories (sheets, drapes, valance) sold separately. Wow. There should be a holster built into that khaki bedskirt. USD 114:95 on sale at The Camo Shop. Read more:Camouflage
The things we do to our best friends... part 4. 2007-03-06 15:55:28 The caption on I Am Bored, where I found this picture of the miserable dog said: "Poor Dog. I can just hear him saying, "Please, save me." I think the dog is saying something else. I think he's saying: "Please shoot me!". Can someone please take this poor dog out of his misery? Or even better, take his owner out of his or her misery and let the dog be a dog and not wear friggin' clothes? Previous installments in the "The things
we do..." series can be found after the jump.
Dead bird catnip-spiked cat toy. 2007-03-06 15:55:24 From the web site: "...The perfect decoy for the cat on the prowl! The life sized birds come with or without handcast pewter twigs. They can be perched high only to be watched until it's play time or they can be perched just out of reach for some more athletic fun. Hand stitched in designer wools and cottons. Each bird is deliciously stuffed with certified organic catnip and fattened with poly-fill." Wow. Wouldn't you get one for kitty? My cat is crazy about catnip. She goes practically bananas. I sometimes think it's like feline meth or something. These mocking birds are availaible in black, white or tweed for USD 16:- on Greener Grass Design. Read more:spiked
The things we do to our best friends... part 3. 2007-03-06 15:55:20 I can't believe this... well, the word I was going to use is perhaps not appropriate, but for those in the know, it's one of the four letter kind. Everybody who knows me know I love dogs, and that I hate to see them abused. And this is what I would call abuse. The sheepdog is perhaps the most clever breed around, but still they are willing to do anything for their master. To see abuse of a beautiful, loyal and trusting dog like this makes it hard for me to keep my dinner down. I don't care if you say "the dog loves it". Will someone please put the dogs master out of his or her misery? Related entries: The things
we do... part 1 and The things we do... part 2.
Dirty grouts? Paint them. 2007-03-06 15:55:17 From the website: "Grout and tile marker covers stubborn grout stains instantly! Changes existing grout color to white. Precise, handy marker with durable fiber tip. Water-based, permanent paint is completely odorless no fumes." From Taylor Gifts at USD 7:98 a piece ,if you rellay want to cover your dirt with paint, rather than cleaning your house. Read more:Paint

As if the cartoons was not enough... 2007-05-12 19:46:49 The dust after the fight over the pretty un-funny "Mohammed cartoons" has hardly settled and here comes another blow. The dashboard Mohammed.

Dog tongue toy. 2007-05-12 19:45:59 Of all the crazy things dog owners can be persuaded to buy for their pets, I think this is one of the most fun. It's a bit like those crazy baby pacifiers with the grotesque teeth. I think I'm going to get one of these for a friend who has a dog, and buys all sorts of weird stuff for it. The tongue
dog toy comes from Ziclotech (in Spanish) and is available in two sizes, 15 and 22 cm, at EUR 14:50 (USD 19:60) and EUR 18:50 (USD 25:-) respectively.
Pizza Pillow. 2007-06-03 16:19:58 I guess that after the mortadella rug, it was only a question of time. Buy both and make your home complete.

Dog bodyfat gauge. 2007-06-14 17:26:08 Strange how many weird gadgets are meant for dogs. What is it with our furry friends that triggers this incredible inventiveness? God only knows (and perhaps some demographics experts and marketers). Here's a new gizmo by a Japanese company, a gadget that measures body fat - on dogs. So if Fluffy is looking a bit flabby, give her a going over with this and find out if she really is. Or if she's just gotten pregnant, somehow. The device can apparently be found somewhere on this site (in Japanese).
Hand cranked blender for the camper who has everything. 2007-06-26 18:51:55 If you definitely can't be without your morning smoothie (or evening margarita, for that matter) even though you're trekking or camping or whatever, this is the thing for you. The hand cranked blender. From the site: "It features a 48 oz. (1.5 liter) graduated Lexan pitcher with an O-ring sealing top, a removable pour spout that's a 1 oz. shot glass, a brushed stainless steel finish, soft stable rubber feet, an ergonomic handle, two-speed operation, and a C-clamp for stable operation" USD 88:- on the Gaiam webshop.

Bib for sloppy smokers. 2007-07-12 05:41:02 Imagine allowing smoking in bars and restaurants again, but at the same time require smokers to wear one of these every time they wish to light up. Looking like an idiot while slowly comitting suicide. If this won't make you quit, I don't know what will. USD 40:- on Taylor Gifts.
Lip gloss with built-in LED lights. 2007-08-02 10:16:03 It was bound to happen sooner or later. So now, ladies, you can touch up even though it's pitch dark using the automatic on/off LED light on this lip gloss. One panel of the packaging even has a small mirror, so you can see what you're doing. Available in five shades from Australian ModelCo at AUD 32:- a piece.
