Apparently much of the food poisoning and disease that spread around your kitchen do so because of nasty germs living on your kitchen towels. It makes sense. It’s a nice moist environment for breeding.
Student designer Paul Oxley has come up with something that may stop this phenomenon dead. He didn’t throw in the towel, so to speak. The Aquavac. It’s is a small countertop wet vac, which lets you suck up spills into it’s container rather then wiping them up. You can also use it to dry your hands. Germs will be in the Aquavac, not in your kitchen. Pretty simple and great idea.

Even the cleanest bathroom has invisible nasties lurking around every corner. Whether you are a germophobe or not, it would only help matters if there were some way to flush the toilet without actually touching that bacteria ridden cesspool. There is! Time to put the peddle to the metal bathroom tile, with the Foot Flush. “Changing the world one step at a time”.
For $20, you will never have to flush by hand, ever again. It hooks to the flushing mechanism in your toilet bowl. Take that toilet! After years of your sweet caress on it’s jiggly handle, it will now be touched less then Rosie O’Donell in a room full of female Tennis players.

Not sure if he’d be playing Rick Hunter, Roy Fokker, or even (gasp!) Breetai, but according to the Hollywood Reporter, Tobey Maguire is going to produce, and possibly star in, a live-action movie based on the Robotech TV series which pretty became the entire focus of my life when I was in 5th grade. (You seriously don’t want to know how much of my spare time I devoted to tracking down even the most mundane details about the SDF-1, Veritech fighters, the Invid, and protoculture or to futilely trying to find a long-rumored VBF-1A Beta fighter to go with the die-cast plastic VAF-6 Alpha fighter I’d bought). Anyone who got into the show in the mid-Eighties will tell you that Robotech had a level of depth and realism well beyond that of any other animated series on US television at the time, which isn’t at all surprising considering its Japanese origins (Robotech is credited with helping introduce anime to American audiences). Anyway, hopefully Tobey won’t dumb things down like Michael Bay did with the Transformers movie. It was tough enough discovering a few years later that the entire show was actually three entirely different Japanese anime series awkwardly grafted together so that they’d have enough episodes for syndication in the US market — turning Robotech into yet another mindless action fest might just be too much to take.
