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.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
