Duckie Floats and Soothes
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
We thought we would hook you up with some last minute Valentines gifts for the geeks you love. While we have shown you plenty of rubber quackers in the past, I Rub My Duckie goes one step beyond its call of duty. Sure it is pink, has a feather boa and Swarovski crystal on its beak, but it can also take care of those sore muscles after that nice hot bath. The massager has a motor encased in its waterproof bod that you can turn on and off with a back squeeze, and runs on 2 AA batteries (not included.) At a size of 12.5cm x 11.5cm x 8cm, the birdie buddy can be yours for $14.95.
(Thanks, Jen)

Top 5 Least Romantic Reality TV Shows
Every year at about this time some clever person comes up with a ‘Top 5 or 10 Most Romantic Movies’ list. In honor of the writers’ strike (which has stiffed us with an inordinate amount of reality shows in place of quality TV) and for all the people who really can’t stand Valentine’s Day… how about the ‘Top 5 Least Romantic Reality Shows’?
Quick note: there is no scientific basis for this list. It is simply a collection of shows that couldn’t possibly inspire amorous feelings after watching them.
- How Clean Is Your House? (BBC): Post-menopausal British women expose extreme slobs by doing stuff like sniffing pet stool and urine stains in the ratty carpet of unkempt homes. Enough said.
- Wife Swap (ABC):Two diametrically opposed women switch lives by making a stranger’s family just as miserable as their own. Are there any other stereotypes of women out there besides the doormat mom or self-absorbed shrew?
- Cops (FOX): Wife beaters, crack whores, sloppy drunks and meth heads. It’s a how-to manual for singles on who not to get involved with.
- Bridezillas (WE): They’re spoiled, demanding and borderline delusional women yet somehow they’ve convinced some poor slob to marry them and be grateful for it.
- Jon & Kate+8 (Discovery Health): Super nice people, terrifying number of children under the age of 8. It’s video birth control.
Wild Hibiscus Flowers Grow in Bubbles
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
Trying to score with your partner/spouse this Valentines Day? Drop some Wild Hibiscus Flower syrup into anything carbonated and watch it go from a small bud into a full edible bloom. Treat your loved one to this unique flower that not only looks impressive, but tastes like raspberry/rhubarb. This one comes from Australia for a price of $13.95 per bottle. We just wonder if you use the whole bottle, do you get gigantic results?
(Thanks, Jen)
