Colour condoms.
Colour condoms.
  The condom is a classic item, but there have been a lot of new improvements. You already know the main function is to protect, but the market offers hundreds of different types of condoms to spice things up. Don’t just think of colour, flavour, size ... all those different ranges are great, but there’s a lot more to it, there are also special condoms for that extra bit of fun.

Those Wonderful Clicks

Which ones do you prefer, those old Clicks with hands which couldn’t move and a groove on the trunk, or you rather go for more contemporary ones with hands that can rotate?

Indians, knights and building-site, first Playmobil toys circa 1974
  In 1974 Playmobil gave birth to the Clicks and there is a new way of measuring the time ever since: BC (Before Clicks) and AC (After Clicks). So now you know, re-calculate you D.O.B.

The first Clicks coming out boasted the same features for which they are still that popular today: an irresistible smiley little mouth and big head and eyes -no nose, no ears!, had you noticed that?-, relatively stiff motion, ideal size to take them in your pocket (7.5cm = 3”) and a whole lot of accessories, animals, buildings, plants...

Cheap Laptops For Third World Hungry Minds

Negroponte and the MIT insist on producing low cost quality computers. Now they’re decided to achieve it at just 12 dollars per PC

  At this stage, we clearly understand that those who have access to information and technology enjoy great advantages. For instance, according to the experts, in most underdeveloped or developing countries, knowing how to operate a computer can really change their life: it could mean the difference between earning one dollar per hour wages or getting that dollar for a whole day’s work.

That’s the reason of the existence of some institutions working on the manufacturing of portable computers at very low cost.

Welcome Back (Again) To The Click World

When you were little, Clicks were just a bunch of toys to play with. Now that you are older, they can offer you a whole lot of possibilities. Playing Clicks is just one of them.

  One day, some click-addict (although he/she still doesn’t know she/he is one of them) goes into a toy store to purchase a gift for a little nephew or her/his own child. That’s how he/she discovers that the old Playmobil boxes have not changed at all. What about the inside?, will they still be the same? I’m hooked!

You climb up to the cobwebbed attic and start opening junk boxes in the search for those old Clicks, hoping no one has thrown them away.

Our Great-Grandparents’ Inventions

The GPS or the Thermomix seem quite modern, but they are not that contemporary. Their first clear ancestors date back to the first decades of the 20th Century

  Many devices which make our lives much easier, come from ideas conceived in the days of yore. Although it’s true to say that they’ve been much improved, but back in the 19th Century there were people dedicated to create intriguing thingamabobs with the intention of solving everyday problems. Many of them kept evolving and all of us have one at home.

Maurice Collins is a British man, a retired businessman, who has an amazing valuable collection made up of over one thousand four hundred historical gadgets.

Like a rolling stone

A kid’s play such as rolling down a hill has turned into a extreme sport. It’s called Zorbing and originated in New Zealand

<i>Zorbing</i> (inside the big ball there’s a person)
Zorbing (inside the big ball there’s a person)
  Do you remember when you were a kid and used to like rolling down a hill or slope? Someone thought about turning that into an extreme sport and/or anti-stress therapy, to suit each one’s fancies and mood. They name it Zorbing and it’s all the rage!

You need a Zorb, that is, a huge inflatable bubble, and a hill. Harness yourself safely inside and let someone else push a little to kick you off and start rolling.

From Box To Box

A box is not just a box. In the right hands, it can adopt different conformations and become art

Cratehouse, a building sculpture made out of plastic crates
Cratehouse, a building sculpture made out of plastic crates
  It’s all about boxes. That’s probably what the two German artists, Wolfgang Winter and Berthold Horbelt, might have thought when devising this building?, sculpture? Actually, what they have done is fit together one of top of the other a few hundreds of plastic crates, the ones used to carry bottled drinks to pubs and bars. Then they placed the whole crate sculpture on top of two metal containers and the result has become the city landmark.

You can visit it in Castleford, a town in West Yorkshire, England.

Fun Sex: it’s healthy and we love it

Forget old prejudices! Discover what fun sex has to offer: pleasure, enjoyment and health

The first dildo in history? At least a rather suspicious-looking rock
The first dildo in history? At least a rather suspicious-looking rock
  Mankind (and women) is one of the few species that have sex for pleasure. And for sure this has been happening for longer than anyone can remember, since time immemorial. So, why not use the help of sexy toys and gadgets? And don’t think this is just a new invention, we can still find in museums dildos dated as far back as 28,000 years ago, and that is the Stone Age!

We don’t need to dig deep in the closet to find dildos; nowadays the dildo has found a place in the top drawer right next to other new sex toys.
