There was an episode of Seinfeld I vaguely remember where Kramer, in his usual crazy way, decided to save a little time.  While he was in the shower, he’d wash the salads and vegetables he’d then serve to people who were coming over.  Needless to say, this idea grossed out everyone except, perhaps, French Canadian designer Philippe Malouin.  He’s the designer of what is called The Unit, a combination kitchen/bathtub/sink, and a bunch of other neat combo appliances. 

I understand that in a lot of other countries not America, space is at a premium.  I can understanding combining important things to save space, but do you really need to chop your onions and shave your legs in the same sink?  That’s just a little out of control.  No matter how well you clean something like that, if someone knows that your kitchen sink doubles as your bath tub, it makes it a little bit harder to enjoy that nice home-cooked meal. 

Plus, where are you going to keep your personal grooming items?  Surely not out there in the open!  There’s a good reason there are cabinets and drawers and hidey-holes in the bathroom; nobody wants to see your gross personal grooming implements mingling with your dirty dishes.  That’s twice the ickiness in half the space.

One of the biggest icons in film history, Paul Newman, passed away last night at age 83.  You can read a great article about his life (with a lot of amazing pictures) here, or look at the press release issued by the Newman’s Own Foundation here.  Either way, the world is missing a giant of […]

It will only take about 45 minutes to permanently alter the skyline of Indianapolis, Indiana.  Twenty-four years ago, the RCA/Hoosier Dome was opened.  At 10:30 AM this morning, the giant fans keeping the stadium’s roof up were turned off starting the deflation process.  By the time you read this, the home stadium of the Indianapolis […]

It is the first day of fall today, and everywhere the weather is starting to cool down (finally, September had some days in the 90-degree range here!).  That means Halloween is right around the corner, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas and New Year’s Day, then 2009.  Time really does fly, doesn’t it?  If your trees are […]

As dedicated Bigfoot blogger NewsComa could tell you, Sasquatch likes to party. Judging by the picture of Bigfoot’s recent trip to Roanoke, Virginia, he likes to party just a little bit too much. That’s why the poor man-ape is passed out face-down on the sand. Fortunately, he’s got that thick woolly coat […]

There are always signs out there that, when you look at them, you just know whoever put the sign up probably wasn’t reading it closely.  As someone who wasted five years of college as an English major (plus a year of grad school, so that’s six years of wasted time and money), I see signs […]

There’s a little plastic guy with a big head who is popping up in the strangest of places.  His name is Bobblehead George, and his website Where’s Bobblehead George? is getting a lot of attention these days, for a very good reason.  From his home base in Nashville, Tennessee, Bobblehead George has gone to Hollywood, […]

Human beings can do a lot of things out of necessity.  For example, let’s take a gander at the Chand Baori, a famous well from India.  Yes, that’s the well above… the crazy thing with the thousands of stairs.  Actually, it has 3,500 stairs, is 13 stories,  and is 30 meters deep.  It was built […]
