Irish Accent Spray
Irish accent spray will have you dancin' a jig! Just one drop radically changes the way you speak! Fresh on the tongue like the mist of the Cliffs of Moher!

NES Paul
Electric guitar made from an old NES console. I don't think it would sound very good but it looks cool.

Predictions and Hindsight
Humourous list of bad predictions.
"Television won't be able to hold onto any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night." - Darryl F Zanuck, 1946.

Toon Room
Hotel room decorated to look like a cartoon.
A characteristic touch is that every corner and angle is outlined with a thin, hand-drawn, black line – whether on the ceiling, on the bed, or around a plug. The result is a dollhouse-like, comic book room with papaya green walls, a sunny yellow rug, a lilac bed and a pink cupboard. Graphics and decorations by the artist complete the design.

Flying Lamborghini
Well, almost. The Dubai government installed a speed bump on a road that the locals had a habit of speeding on. Just one problem - they forgot to tell anyone.
