Some documents are so secret you’ve got to keep them safe from even yourself, and that’s why Xerox invented self-erasing paper. The info fades away after 24 hours, so only your photographic memory can keep the info locked in. This is all due to a molecule that creates the print under ultraviolet light and then readjusts after 24 hours or under heat to make it disappear.

This paper is still under-going research at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center.

INBED: The 2D Virtual Girlfriend

Are you lonely and don't have a girlfriend? Do you want an imaginary girlfriend to sleep beside you on your bed? Then INBED seems to be your ideal bedmate. Though this sounds spooky enough to me, if you are really lonely and need to have somebody lying beside you, then you don’t need to look further.

INBED works by having a projector on the ceiling beam an image of a lady down in that empty space on a double bed.

What makes the INBED impressive is that it has infrared sensors that can detect the position of the live person in bed, and adjust the virtual person accordingly. In other words, the virtual girlfriend will adjust her position to snuggle with you, spoon with you if you lie on your side, and even react to kisses by burying her face in a pillow.

I have a feeling somebody out there is lonely and in dare need of a companion, real or imagined. Will this fulfill the desire for a real or 3D girlfriend? Well, as the saying goes, 2D girlfriend is better than none.

Enviromentally Friendly Lingerie With Solar Panel

Now we are in the age in which nothing surprises us again. But when it comes to the issue of solar bra, one is still caught unawares. An environmentally-friendly lingerie may be something you need to spice up your imagination. If it looks good, then lets wear it.

Aptly colored with a green shade, the Solar Power Bra features a waist-mounted solar panel which powers a small, chest-mounted electronic billboard, or pretty much any other gadget you feel like modding onto the bra.

Not to be outdone in other eco-friendly categories, the bra even offers a pair of reusable drinking cups (no pun intended), which not only offers a way for the wearer to reduce the amount of aluminum cans and plastic bottles they use, but also adds to the woman’s (or man’s, if you’re into that sort of thing) bust size. These reusable containers can be hidden away in a special pocket on the bra’s cups.

A time will come and has come when we will start wearing disposables clothes and shoes. Who wants to wash clothes and pollute the eco-systems with chemicals?

If you touch the fly or mosquito with any part of the racket face during your swing, then ... POW!!!!!
