I am not sure whether this is a great piece of eco engineering or some sort of practical joke played out on the rest of us, either way it just shows that people will literally buy anything!

This has been commissioned by Amazon Japan (As if it would be made anywhere else?) and has been designed by the designer of Azumanga Daioh who is a popular Anime character.

If you want to buy one of these it will cost only $15, but unfortunately they are only available in Japan, so the postage may be more expensive than the item itself.

When your shoes, trainers or whatever other footwear that you use gets damp either from sweat or water this moister mixes with bacteria and this combination causes the smell which can be annoying and embarrassing too.

However fortunately there is a solution and a good one at that, the Eco Shoe Dryer is simple and effective, the shoe or shoes are placed onto the device, and this is then plugged into the power supply and that’s it you are on the way to fresh shoes and sweet smelling feet.

The dollar bill is known around the world, and has probably been used for deals in almost every country, but how accurate are the images on the back of the dollar?

Well this is the work of Musely a user of the photo sharing place Flickr, he has managed to carefully line the image up with the real building and the results are quite spectacular. As you can see the images are of the Lincoln Memorial, The US Treasury, The White House and The Capitol Building.

It can be so difficult knowing what to buy your colleagues at work for the festive season, sometimes you may not feel buying anything at all, so it’s lucky that there are some things around that will not only make your choice easier and in this case let them know exactly what you think of them.

This is the “flashing brown nose” that will please everyone except for the boss, who may not see the funny point, but hey it’s the boss and a little festive spirit can’t do any harm, can it?

This is the Sony Ericsson concept phone, this will have a USB port which is going to be very handy and will probably begin to see this feature in other phones.

The design has a large screen and a nice bit of stainless steel added to the buttons.

There is not much word on price and availability but one thing is for sure they need to get a move on, because there will definitely be similar ideas on other brands.

Well this is a great idea to stop everyone else from overhearing those annoying people who sit next to you on the train and constantly talk loudly on the phone as if everyone is really going to be interested in what they have to say.

This could also be protection from the bluetooth invaders of privacy, unfortunately it does involve having to walk around with this contraption on your shoulders, but everything has a price tag. This is the work of the Boston artist Nick Rodrigues.

The poor little guy stuck on the top of this knife rack is in a bit of a position here, with those large knives that look as if they have been thrown at him.

This a great gift, apart from the funny side, this comes with set of five really nice knives, ideal for the kitchen or maybe even throwing at the door if want to.

This is the sort of gift for the golfing window, she can then swap the golf ball supplied in the kit with the one in the golf bag and then sit back and have a great laugh.

The remote controlled golf ball is ideal for either making a good golfers round bad, and a bad golfers round good, so you can see how much can be had by this.

The golf ball is controlled by remote and can be manipulated to miss the hole by inches and the wiz off down the hill, or just about anything else that would confuse the golfer.

Price is $102, which is cheap for so much fun
