Magnetic Light Switch Plates

Posted by Jill Harness in Art & Design, Design on August 4, 2011 at 3:52 am

If I didn’t have a purse and wasn’t careful to always put my keys back in it every time, I’d always lose my keys. For those of you with the same problem, but without a purse system, you can now keep track of your keys by sticking them on your light switch plate every time you come home. Sounds like a great idea to me!

Key Guns

Posted by John Farrier in Society & Culture, Weapons & War on July 1, 2011 at 1:13 pm

Imagine that you’re a jailer in the Nineteenth Century. You have to open an occupied cell, perhaps to transfer a prisoner or deliver a meal. To open the cell, you need your hands free.

It belonged to second officer David Blair, transferred from the ship just before its maiden voyage. But he forgot to hand it to his replacement.

As a result officers had no access to binoculars on the bridge or in the crow’s nest – and 1,517 people perished when the ship hit an iceberg on April 15, 1912.
