Join What a Bananas Idea
If you’re fed up of having a black mushy banana in your lunch box, you’ll be pleased to hear a solution is at hand, the banana guard by Safe Banana.
The Banana Guard is a specially shaped plastic container for storing your lunch time fruit. It accommodates and protects most shapes and sizes of banana. It’s probably advisable not to carry it in you jean pocket. You can find more info and buy online at Safe Banana.
Unkillable Plants
I don’t know what color is the opposite to green but that’s the color of my fingers in a horticultural sense. I have the ability to kill household plants simply by looking at them (contrary to the obvious it’s got nothing to do with the fact I may forget to water them all the time). So I was quite amused today when I saw 2 of my favourite sites have 2 totally different solutions to my plant murdering tendencies.

Remote Controlled Robotic Shark
I’ve never fancied swimming with sharks and after watching “Open Water” I’m even more convinced it’s a really bad idea. However this remote controlled robotic shark looks kind of neat, especially if you can sneak it into a public pool 
.
The robotic shark is 2 foot long and looks like it is actually swimming through the water (bends in all the right places). You can maneuver it up, down, left, right and it even has reverse (though that will just look silly). Unfortunately it doesn’t have a remote controlled jaw with razor sharp teeth. The remote is fully submersible so you and your pet jaws can swim together (probably alone).

Bling Grill Your Nashers
I must admit I think this is more crazy than cool but thought I’d post about it anyway. Rapper Paul Wall is selling what is known as Grills for your teeth. Teeth Grills are basicly big bling jewlery that slots over your teeth (you’ve got to wonder why).
In order to own your own tooth grill you’ll have to pop to the dentist, get a mold of your teeth done which you then send off along with a check $700. All I can say is if you buy one, please send me a picture so I can have a good laugh .

Rubik Table
I always found the rubic cube a bit annoying, doing one side was easy, one side and a few rows not too bad but all 6 sides darn impossible. I was amazed to read recently the record for solving it is just over 11 seconds, geez that’s cazy.
Well this gadget like furniture is one rubics cube you’ll never need to solve as it’s a table. The rubics table is a giant sized version of the original rubics cube, which thankfully can’t be shuffled and would look great in any retro game room (pinball machine in the corner mandatory).

Cat’s Water Bowl with Grass
This is the first time I’ve seen a pet water bowl and fountain combined, which is likely because I’ve only got boring old pet fish. For all you dog and cat lovers it’s a nifty idea which I’m sure your pet will enjoy. Just as I discover pet drinking fountains I find out they’re soon to be improved by the addition of, wait for it, grass, hmmm.
You’ll be able to get new pet drinking fountains that come with their own “Aqua Garden”, that will grow grasses (wheat, oats, barley, etc.) that cats supposedly love to eat. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a cat liking non meaty products, I know when I used to have a cat years ago the only grass like thing it liked (a lot) was cat nip.

Keyboard Handbag
This is just odd, a handbag made from keyboard keys. Available in stylish Dell black or Mac white. Wonder if it comes with a matching belt and purse.

Kitchenette Transforming Chair
This is probably the strangest convertible I’ve seen, a Chair that rotates to reveal a mini kitchenette with 2 electric burners, which I suppose could come in handy for homes were space is at an absolute premium.
The designers reasoning behind it is you don’t generally sit down whilst cooking so why not combine them as you only need one at a time. It looks a bit kooky to say the least. There is an animation of it in action on the designers site. I think if I needed to save space that much I’d invest in a decent kettle and a cupboard full of pot noodles.
