The Washable Keyboard

p2329b-690x690jpg

Meet your new best friend, cheese puff. This keyboard may look like your standard run-of-the-mill nonsense found in schools and libraries across the nation but you’d be wrong. See, you can throw this fucker in a tub of water and let her rip. Clean your disgusting fingerprints off it so that they won’t slip during your next raid in World of Warcraft. Comprende?

Beer Soap: Bars of Soap Made With Your Favorite Lager

beersoap

Does that special alcoholic in your life complain about how you so rarely smell like you’ve been drenched in booze? No longer with Beer Soap! Made with an assortment of smelly ingredients and a wide-range of beers, Beer Soap is the only personal washing material guaranteed to give you a buzz if eaten. (Admittedly, there are easier ways to do this.)

PureCart: Clean Shopping

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that your local grocer’s shopping cart is packed with germs. Between the babies shitting in the seat and those Dunkaroos smashed underneath a case of soda, there’s said to be over 1 million germs on a cart. Now a system called PureCart could give you a clean shopping cart every time.

The low-cost solution apparently works as follows:

…the PureCart System uses an FDA and EPS approved quick-drying sanitizing solution to quickly clean the entire cart. Sanitizing a cart is as easy as pushing it through the cleaning station where the solution is automatically sprayed on, and for non-wheeled items like a basket or a child seat a wand is also provided to make purifying them just as easy.

Sounds great and all but I think I’ll just stick to the bottle of Purell.

I’m all for the bidet sometimes but nothing beats a good ol’ wipe of the ass with toilet paper. Plus, you can check and ensure you wiped properly and completely. With Kohler’s C3 toilet seat, you need not worry about running out of TP anymore. The seat includes a remote-controlled bidet that allows you to clean your ass out without having to move in the slightest. You’d expect a NASA-esque price to accompany such a stunning piece of technology. Luckily, the C3 will only set you back $950.

Nose Soap Dispenser Brings Back Nightmares of Mark Summers

I know it’s hard but try to be strong. Ever since you lost that physical challenge on Double Dare, life hasn’t been the same. That trip to Sea World was thisclose. Cheer up, though. Now you can get a DD-esque schnoz that goes in your shower and dispenses shower gel. At $18, it’s a great gag gift and should guarantee hours of fun should you load it up with snot-green shower gel.

Mouse Soap Not On A Rope

This mouse is done being a computer mouse. It’s tired of being man-handled all day, clicked and pressed all over. It wants to relax. The truth is, it’s just a bar of soap carved into a computer mouse. It almost looks functional but the only thing it’s functioning is that fresh feeling after a hot shower.

Not the first and certainly not the last geek soap creation we’ve seen, the mouse soap is unique because it looks more comfortable than the mouse I’m using now. That is, until one shower use leaves it looking like any other normal bar of soap.

Sanyo Japan was showcasing their new line of washing machines, AQUA this morning. The one that catches the most attention would be the ability of dry cleaning clothes at home. You heard that right, the wet-washing machine is able to dry-clean your clothes too, and they’re using Ozone. Sanyo was able to lower the temperature down to 50C, making leather jackets (and shoes) or silk ties fit to be tumbled in those washing drums.

Non-stick toilet means no clean-up for 3 months!

We have non-stick glue, non-stick pan, today we have non-stick toilets, thanks to the Japanese material scientists at Matsushita (Panasonic/National). The secret is that they’re using resin-based materials instead of the usual clay. During an interview with Mr Sakai from Matsushita, we learned that their team had spent more than a year to research on resin modification, in order to have it strong enough to withstand the sheer force of having us cough-potatoes sit on top.
