Boyd Ashford Turtle pocket knife

June 28, 2008 - 3:36 AM : Related Entries - Other Stuff

pocket_knife.jpg This cool pocket knife is different in both style and idea. It looks a little uncomfortable to use but is perfectly useful and easy to use. It weight 1.3 ounces and measures a minimum of two inches when folded. It is shaped like a turtle that’s thrown on its back and is wriggling for the love of its life. It is made of metal but also has a turtle-shell-like touch on it as well. It is designed by designer Boyd Ashworth. Handy, stylish and odd in its own little way, this pocket knife can get the job done when you need it the most (if you know what I mean). The Boyd Ashford Turtle pocket knife costs just $40. Isn't that a cheap price for a concept?

Post Death Contributions To Nature

ecopod.jpg This is one of those means to reduce pollution and spread a few smirks as well. Being buried in a pod is something that most insects would not think of. However, if the pod is going to ensure that after death your remains will not contribute to pollution, then it's worth a thought. Instead of beating around the bush, let's get to the point. The Ecopod coffins are made of recycled paper that's hardened so that it can hold your cadaver for less than eternity. I wonder if that can win you some brownie points at the pearly gates for saving nature.

staple_remover_1.jpg Staple removers, clothe clips, hair clips and many other things looked a lot like animal teeth to me when I was a kid. This has in someway been realized into creating some really cool staple pin removers that are shaped like animal heads. These look like something between as skull and a severed head, but who cares. It's the application of the same that matters. The snake, dragon and the tyrannosaurus rex models look pretty cool. The gorilla head however seems to be too weird to be allowed.
