I really hope this is the newest fashion trend. They are much cuter than purses.

Follow-Up: Improvised Cell Phone Charging
Aug. 26, 2011
Last week I shared the video of an improvised way to allegedly charge a cell phone using only batteries and a cup of water. It was most definitely fake, as you wonderful fixers pointed out, but the people who first reported on it thought it to be true. Gizmodo reached out to PBS, who initially ran the story. They got in touch with the creator of the video for an explanation. Here’s what they had to say:
Omar was very upset and apologetic to know there were some question marks over his explanation. He said that though he wanted to give the interview in English he sometimes struggled with vocabulary to explain things in a concise manner. It seems he struggled for the word mug, and instead of ‘glass of water’ meant ‘glass for water.
There’s definitely some sort of loss in translation going on here. No way could water in any way be used to charge a cell phone. Evidently, Omar was supposed to be talking about a portable cell phone charger that’s powered by AA batteries, but that doesn’t explain why the video with the glass of water was made in the first place. My guess is this is just a viral video stunt gone wrong.

This Is Where The Kids’ Table Goes
Aug. 26, 2011
From the submitter:
My husband bolted this Sunday School table to boards and held it on with rachet straps around the deck so he could paint our deck. Only problem — How to get on to the scaffolding — solution — put a chair on the deck, stand on it, swing leg over deck rail, drop down to the scaffold. Guess it worked.

That’s it, just keep putting stickers on in random places to make your fix less obvious.

Like a Glove
Aug. 26, 2011
A cheaply made glove. With holes in it. On a giant’s hand. Who hasn’t trimmed his nails in a while.

Historical Thursday: The Oak Island Money Pit
Aug. 25, 2011
Oak Island is an uninhabited Canadian spot of mystery just off the coast Nova Scotia. It’s a small, wooded piece of land that totals only 140 acres and rises no higher than 36 feet from sea level. Hidden in this lush green spot is a deep dark secret, one that people have been trying to uncover for the past 250 years. What started with a teenager stumbling across a hole in the ground turned into one of the largest treasure hunts in North American history.
