Giant Toothbrush Dish Brush Protects Your Dinnerware From Gingivitis
I, for one, am sick of having my dishes breathe in my face with their stank-ass breath.

The Giant Toothbrush Dish Brush not only saves your dishes the embarrassment of facing your fine china with a bad case of morning breath, but also saves you the trouble... Continue reading
Star Wars Soap: Because Even Jedis Need to Shower
The Star Wars universe is an interesting place. No matter how many Star Wars books you read, or movies you watch, there is never any mention of personal hygiene. There’s that one part where you can almost see Lando’s nose pluck up into disgust after Han lifts his arm, but that’s about it. (Did I make this up? Maybe, maybe not. Go watch and you tell me!) Don’t worry Lando, it’s a trap. This 5 oz. bar of Star Wars soap... Continue reading
Roomba Pac-Man Game Makes Me Vacuum More Than Once a Year
I’ve never claimed to be the most hygienic blogger among us, nor have I claimed to vacuum my humble apartment as regularly as I should, but I imagine if I had a cleaning rig like this, I might just set-out to clean my home at least once a week. Utilizing five different Roombas instead of only one, which we’ve seen previously, this Pac-Man Roomba set-up insures that you have a little amusement while the Roombas do their jobs. The genius...

Science Reveals the Gross Truth About Hand Washing
We are sick, disgusting individuals. About 95% of people claim they wash their hands after taking a piss or poopy, but as you can imagine, the actual percentage of people who actually do so is far less. A new public health study tracked the bathroom doings of over 200,000 individuals and the results were staggering. Only 64% of females washed their hands while only 32% of men washed theirs. This is one time that I’m actually embarrassed to be male.... Continue reading
Comb USB Flash Drive Keeps Data and Stray Hairs in Place

Now all I need is a pube trimming mouse. Link [via]
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... Continue reading
Mustache Comb Necklace: Jewelery For Italian Women
Fine, Italian women might not have bushy enough mustaches to comb, it’s just hard for us to imagine a man wearing this Mustache Comb Necklace. It seems like a fine investment if you’re in a business where you’re constantly in the public eye and need to have a perfectly groomed profile. The sort of job where you have to pencil a shower into your schedule. If you’re lucky you have someone (or something) to do it for you, if not,... Continue reading
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.
2 months with the UV lamped toothbrush case
Japanese are obsessive with hygiene, so much that somebody invented the ultimate toothbrush carrying case with built-in UV lamp; supposedly it’ll kill germs. While everything sounds so much like a dream, the case is so portable, the UV lamp runs on AAA batteries. So the guys who tested it took it for a try, their conclusion this morning is that it works! Though we have no chance to verify their claim of removing “99.999% germs”, what we’re certain is that... Continue reading
