Coffee Stirrer Stool
The Coffee Stirrer Stool has been designed to resist compression with a minimal amount of material, using a geometry identical to the molecular structure of diamond – a truss originally patented by material scientist John J. Gilman in 1981. The structural framework fills the largest volume of space with the shortest individual length of a predefined number of struts, making them inherently resistant to buckling.
These coffee stirrer sticks have been arrange to form this framework, allowing them to comfortably support the weight of the sitter. Designed by Alexander O.D. Lorimer. Continue reading »

Fight!
This fight is a battle of the sexes for the bear necessity of life, food. These pictures taken by a British nature photographer, Nathan Harrison, show how the larger male brown bear starts the fight until his sister gains the upper hand by giving him a clip round the ear. They later wonder off as friends once again. The twins from Lake Clark National Park in Alaska are known for being of one minded and in this case the twin three-year-old bears are only thinking of their stomachs.

Unseen Beatles Colour Pictures of First US Tour go on Sale
Rare and unpublished early colour photos of The Beatles on tour are to be sold at auction. They were taken during the Fab Four’s triumphant summer 1964 visit to the US, when most early photos of the band, and even films, were in black and white. Colour was more expensive and seen as too extravagant for a pop group from Liverpool – who many felt were just a passing fad.
The images were taken by Dr Robert ”Bob” Beck, an award-winning research physicist and inventor who died in 2002 and left them in a huge archive of photographs and slides in his Hollywood home. The lot will go on sale on March 22, 50 years to the day in 1963 when The Beatles released their first album, Please Please Me. Continue reading »

“The Golden Man” – the World’s first pure gold shirt worth $22,500 is made in India
India’s very own Midas, Datta Phuge, in a rather misguided attempt at impressing the ladies, has commissioned a shirt made entirely of gold. The shirt took 15 goldsmiths a total of two weeks to construct, and comes complete with matching cuffs, a belt and a set of rings. The goldsmiths worked 16 hours a day on this gaudy creation that cost a total of $22,400.
Phuge, aged 32 said, “I know I am not the best looking man in the world but surely no woman could fail to be dazzled by this shirt?” Hailing from Pimpri, Chinchwad, Phuge, a moneylender by profession hopes that this 3.2kg gold shirt will help establish his credentials as the ‘Gold man of Pimpri.’ The base of the shirt has been created out of imported white velvet with the gold assembled on top of it; the buttons have been made with six Swarovski crystals.
