Microwave for ice cream?
The user guide on this microwave oven suggests “reheating” to -10C for ice cream. Who’s this made for? Eskimos?

Sorry for the bad angle. The sun was directly behind this.

Coconut bouncer
What a great idea! Falling coconuts are a serious hazard in residential areas. My bedroom window got smashed in earlier this year. This thing looks like a bouncer more than a catcher though. How does the coconut bouncing physics work out?

Backlit scrolling advertising board in an auto. In-auto video advertising just a step away.

Oh what the heck, if you know what it's called, we know how it's made. It all tastes the same anyway.

Why you should restrict freight to freight elevators
These guys just dropped a whole carton of beer in the elevator.

Interesting combination of stairway and ramp at Alliance Francais. It’s space saving, elegant and just as usable as either would be independently – although it does require watching one’s step on the stairway.

Electric display
Spotted this electric signboard being reprogrammed at a marriage hall. The fellow plugged in a PS/2 keyboard, hit Shift F10, and typed an xml-ish control sequence <opr42> and message.

All gone
“What happened in here?”
“Well, we were having this sale…”
“Yes, I can see that.”
“It was huge… totally unexpected… we didn’t know what hit us.”
“Oh!”
“They took everything, even the clothes from the mannequins. It’s all… gone.”
“What a way to close!”

Orgasmic parking
After all, blowing money on parking can be as satisfying as blowing money on shopping, aye?

Fake iPod Nano
Allan picked up this fake 8 GB iPod Nano in Bangkok. It includes a working scroll wheel, iPod connector cable and a clone UI, except the font is wrong, the Menu button opens instead of backing out, and the UI flickers a lot. Fairly impressive ripoff for Rs 2000, overall.

High-class rip-off
The 49 is printed. All the shirts in the stack have the same number. The shirt’s high quality material and expensive. The store’s upscale. The print screams fake. So essentialy, it says “look at me, I paid a lot of money for this fake.” How does that work?
