Just because your mother has more facial hair than you do doesn’t make you any less of a man. Weak facial hair is unfortunate, but not really something you can change through pure willpower alone.

Bottle ‘Staches attach right onto your bottle of soda pop, creating the illusion of a well-formed mustache under your schnoz as you drink your icy beverage. The ’staches are available in several different mustache styles, including the Dali (also known as the Stromboli) and the box car.

In a move that should come as no surprise, NASA has completed its installation of a urine-to-water recycling system aboard the International Space Station. To celebrate, the crew of the ISS stuck some straws in funky-looking bags of the liquid and drank up. Some claim that the recycled piss is actually cleaner than most tap water on Earth, but I beg to differ. After all, it’s not just human whiz: there’s also animal waste going into the filtration system as well. Gross? Sure, but it’s all in the day of an astronaut.

In the spirit of really large and cool shit for the summer, check out this Gigantic Water Play Slide from “ridiculously expensive stuff” extraordinaire Hammacher Schlemmer.

Part 16-foot water slide, part water fort, the Gigantic Water Play Slide includes a bouncy center play gym and a mountain climbing-like stair experience. All for the (super-cheap, OMG) price of (only?!) $9,000. Chump change.

Back in the ’80s and ’90s, the de facto water gun was the Super Soaker. I myself had both the SS 50 and SS 100 guns, including a few extra water tanks. My friends and I would stake out my backyard, gunning for an hours-long fight to the death. Hasbro is re-releasing the original Super Soaker 50 to celebrate its 20th anniversary and for only $15 to boot. Do your kids a favor and pick one up for them. You and I both know you won’t regret it.

Pranks are always good for a laugh. Plunk down $23 and you’ll score eight of these self-adhesive PVC water droplets. Stick ‘em on someone’s car window and they’ll think King Kong was busy taking a piss nearby.

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?

While the Abisko Washbasin does a fine job of encouraging water conservation, I’d one-up this design and go a bit further. You see, the Abisko Washbasin uses an angled design which allows wasted water to flow its way down through a drainage grill installed in the floor.

If you really wanted to encourage people to conserve water, you have to appeal to their common traits, such as laziness. Remove the drain grill and allow the wasted water to just splash all over the damn floor. I guarantee that people would waste a lot less water just because they are too lazy to clean up their wasted mess.

Here’s an umbrella guaranteed to please whether on drugs or not. Designed by Squid London, this umbrella features a special material that changes color when it’s wet. Beautiful, no? Don’t get it near your mistress in the heat of the moment or your wife is clearly going to find out.

A bathmat is normally the most boring item that comes to mind when thinking of items inside a house. Such is not the case with this bathmat, which is made up of 70 pieces of moss. Yes, the kind that you find on trees in forests. It apparently feels great, doesn’t smell or mold up and grows from your bathwater. Pretty unique. The design was thought up from Swiss designer Nguyen La Chanh, who calls it “a relaxing mat that needs a little care.”

I’d care to have one. Quite the conversation piece, don’tcha think?

Here’s an idea that really benefits you as a homeowner. A removable kitchen sink that can be taken outside and the water drained over your garden. Genius. And the nutrients the plants will get from food waste will benefit your crop for sure. The design comes from Hughie of Australia and believe it or not, it’s not a concept! You can net one of these bad boys for a measly $25 and it comes in an assortment of different colors. Tres chic!
