I’m all for DIY, but there are just some things that should be left to the professionals. Still, if you want to give it a try, Homemade Sex Toys has a set of instructions for creating your own realistic “Sex Doll” out of a mannequin and a collection of molded body parts. The end result is a scary looking concoction of immovable plastic, but if you’ve got the time it takes to put one of these together, I’m guessing that a moving person is going to be a little bit beyond your comfort level.
Urban Monarch and Modern Drunkard put together two great guides about how to score free drinks when you go out. Put down the credit card, and slowly step away.
Artist Felix Beck created a non-visual graffiti project called Soundbombs, “innocuous-looking 6-inch plastic shells that broadcast short clips (lines from Shakespeare, flatulence, or anything else you record) to unwitting passersby”. He doesn’t sell them, but instead takes applications, and prospective users must tell him where they will use it and how much they’re willing to pay. Get loud.
Sodium Laurel Sulfate, and ingredient in toothpaste, blocks sweet sensors on your tongue, which explains why orange juice tastes so bad after you brush.
Stuart Haygarth created the Tide Chandelier out of man made debris that washed up along a stretch of the Kent coastline. “The sphere is an analogy for the moon which effects the tides which in turn wash up the debris”.
Looking for an original food idea to impress your next dinner date with? Well, if they’ve got a strong stomach and a willingness to try anything, why not cook up a batch of homemade Chocolate Covered Squid. That’s right, the real thing, direct from the sea, then covered in chocolate. Tasty.
Mark Lowrie has a great idea for that homemade gift giving type person. He uses hollowed out books that he fills with interesting contents such as The Vice Control book, filled with vices; or the vintage pulp book filled with journals and writing supplies. Hollow out a copy of the Kama Sutra, fill it with appropriate supplies, and you’ve got yourself one creative and original V Day gift. Plus, the surprise of opening a gift to find a book but then opening the book to find a gift would definitely be the best part of giving something like this.
