Jewelry should be something everyone wants, it used to be that everyone wanted diamonds–now everyone wants MP3 players. Anna Tascha Larsson a jewelry designer still in school in Stockholm heard the many reports of students in NYC getting mugged and stabbed to death because they wore the coveted white ipod earphones (a tell-tale sign that they held ipods) and decided to do something. She created a necklace, in gold and silver, that looks exactly like ipod earphones. Everyone wants this necklace because it’s such a brilliant idea.

As an entertainer, Joseph Pujol had a unique talent:
On stage, dressed in a fine red coat and black britches, Le Pétomane began each performance by explained to his audience that his emissions were odorless. After reassuring the masses, he would launch into his act. He would start with a comedy series of what he called ‘fart impressions’. He would emit a tiny toot, label it as the fart of a ‘new bride’, then flap a thunderous emission and label it as the same bride a week into the marriage. He did impressions of famous people, squeezed out a ten-second long squeaker, and then blew out candles using nothing by the gases emitted from his posterior.
For his finale Le Pétomane inserted a rubber tube into his anus, attached an ocarina to the end of the hose, and played popular tunes while inviting the audience to sing along.
Think that public restrooms are the dirtiest place? Not so, according to scientists from the International Journal of Environmental Health Research.
After collecting 1,100 samples at public places like airports, offices, and bathrooms, they found that the dirtiest place are:
The most frequently contaminated areas were playgrounds and day care centers, with 46 percent showing high levels of contamination. Public restroom surfaces ranked far behind, at 25 percent, just ahead of public transportation handrails and armrests (in buses, for example) and shopping cart handles (about 21 percent each). Not far behind that were escalator handrails (19 percent), vending machine buttons (14 percent) and public phones (13 percent).
