Yeah, that was an excellent one too.

Some of the hints are obvious, or not applicable to me, but some are fantastic.

Who knew how many good uses there were for cardboard toilet paper rolls?

Very cool.

Only I get a page error when I go to the link. All I see is the dustpan, some weird person's side of they haid, and something about using a staple remover. I'll try going in through firefox.

That first one posted makes me grin. It could also say "avoid this situation altogether by buying a trash can." Far be it from me to cast asparagus: I'm the exact opposite of 'domestic.'

To see them all, I had to mouse over the image and then scroll down.

Very clever life hacks. Except maybe the one about making toasted sandwiches by putting both slices in one slot in the toaster.

This is a real time map of the commercial flights in the world.

Curious what that plane is flying over your house? Where are those people going? Where are they from? You can click on the plane and see its details.

The data is real time for the yellow planes and 5 minutes old for the orange ones.

Portrait photographs of adults, retouched (photoshoped) to look like children. They're amusing and a little freaky.

There's a plane a few miles off the coast of Ireland right now, a Cargolux flight, CXL661. It's going from Mexico City, Juarez to Houston George Bush. I think it's lost.

Oh nooooo ...... so creepy!!

Sorry, Bruce, they're more than freaky. I think you can't go home again - at least, you can't turn back the clock.

(I'm sure others will like them. Maybe this is a manifestation of some deep neurosis of mine. If so, I'm still going to hide behind the sofa.)

Clodfobble · 12-07-2012, 08:31 PM

I think they're cool. I'd like to see a Pixar movie with all these characters.

I'd also like to see actual childhood photos of the models, to see if there's any visible correlation.

Glatt, that site is super cool! I added to my favorites so I can come back for tips. Can't remember everything.
