Japan Is Sexy

Fire Flower Extinguisher

Ahh the things you come across on the internet.  This one is truly ridiculous but I really do love the idea of it.  This seems to be an ingenious fire extinguisher device in the form of plastic silk flowers.  I look back at what I just wrote and it just seems ridiculous yet amazing.  When placed over an oil or grease fire, the flowers work by melting into a film that stops the burning.  Seems to make sense but take a look at the above video...the end result seems a little outrageous.  No doubt it'd be tough to clean that "film" up, but better than shopping for a new house, of course.  The truly intriguing and fresh thing about this is that the flowers magnetically stick to your fridge so you've got some rescue where you need it.

Solar Powered Ionic Toothbrush

Welcome to the future folks.  Always been in love with the idea of the future and what it has in store for us (pun intended).  I am very happy to tell you that apparently in the future we don’t have to use toothpaste and our toothbrushes will become solar powered.  Love the idea of this.  Kudos to the Japanese company that has developed a toothbrush that uses ions to remove plaque and cleans teeth with water alone. I cant even begin to imagine the money I will be saving to spend on other things like flying skateboards and space-ship cars.  Explanation below...

“When light is absorbed by the embedded solar panel, and you begin to brush your teeth, electrons are transmitted through the water to your teeth via the titanium oxide semiconductor.”

Make sense? My issue is that I will no longer be able to use my bubble-gum flavored tooth-paste.  Bummer.  Check the site.
