So what do you think?

The perfect Slide?

Doesn't this boy look like he is having a bundle of fun on the worlds first perfect slide? I'm sure the end of the slide won't hurt too much, and the little boy doesn't seem to mind it too much. What about you? Would you ever go on this slide? Or would you reconsider, and maybe head on over to the kiddies playground again?

Spot The Faces

Here is an interesting picture. How many faces can you spot?

The most anyone has ever found in this is 22. How many can you find?

The world is going nuts!

I received a few images in an email recently, and thought that I should share them with you.

When pouring a drink for a couple, or in two different glasses, this unique jug allows you to serve them both at the same time. Perfect for a romantic restaurant when the waiter comes to serve you and your date a glass of wine.

The best type of light a boy could ever wish for! With this unique styled light, it "closes" allowing less light through its "petals", acting as a night light. It has a built in sensor, and so when your child wakes up in the morning, the petals open up, allowing more light to escape through with the result of a brightly lit room.

This crafty invention is useful for someone working with a busy schedule, who could forget to take the tea bag out of the cup before its to late. It has a timing device with will make the nose rise up, lifting the bag out of the tea cup. This makes the perfect cup of tea.

This strange invention is a two in one deal! You can have your searing hot tea inside the pot, and the heat that comes off it will be able to heat the bread, and turn it into toast. You won't need a toasting machine (or have to pay the electricity bills) ever again!

Ever heard of "singing in the shower"? Well, this sponge/microphone will let you do just that. As you enjoy your nice warm bath, you can hang onto the microphone, and sing to an imaginary audience!

With this kind of a chest, there's no need to grow up! Getting a shirt like this could fool just about any woman into thinking that you are older than you seem. Just make sure you don't have too many hairs on your chest!

Walking on a sunny day with your date when all of a sudden it starts to rain. This umbrella allows you to remain cute and cuddly with her, while avoiding the chance of getting wet!

Never really knew where to put my biscuits when drinking my tea. This cup has a littly dip in it, allowing you to store all your biscuits there as you drink your tea!

Taking a pitcure of you and your date has never been easier with this camera!

Its as if the tray was molded for your hand! Ever scared that you might fall while holding a tray, making you spill all the contents onto an unsuspecting victim? This tray reduces the risk of you spilling anything by having it molded into the shape of your hand!

Holding a glass has never been easier! Just follow the dents made in this glass, and you will know the trick forever!

What neat little inventions these are! If you have any, send them along and I can add them onto here.

New Layout!

Hey everyone! I thought that I should make a new layout, so here it is! I hope you like it! Please leave behind some comments on what you think about it so that I know if I should change it in any way. Your feedback is much appreciated!

Please Vote For Me!

Hey everyone. I will be a little busy over the next few days, but will try and add some stuff onto the site asap :)

Also, if you have any suggestions for my blog, like things I should add, or stories I should tell, then please post a comment in the comments section, and I will try to add to the site as soon as possible. Someone suggested that I add graphics to the site. Do you like this idea? I might be going on holiday (away from my home and computer) for two months, so I might not be able to add too many graphics up here straight away, but I will definatley be able to start adding some up. Please put some input into this, and post you replies in the comments of this post. I will really appreciate it!

Soulja Boy Videos!

Ok. I know that i said I had exams and all, so I can't put too many things up until they are done (only a few more days for that!!! yay!!!) But I found these videos, and just HAD to pass them along! Most of you have heard of the song Soulja Boy, and if you haven't, then you are just really sad. Well, here are some very cool video remixes of the song, and there are many more! If you go to YouTube and type in Soulja Boy, you will find many more like this. If you find a really good one, why not post it here for us to see it as well. Anyway, here are two that I really like.

Tasty human foods OR harmful animal treats!

Ever thought that if you give your dog a piece of chocolate, then nothing bad will happen? Or maybe a few nuts? Well, here are a list of foods that are BAD for your pet, and you should avoid giving them at all costs. If your pet does accidently digest them, then rush them to the vet immediately.

• Avacados
• Beer
• Nuts
• Chocolate
• Candy
• Caffeine
• Grapes and Raisins
• Onions
• Medicine

Bad Food

Avocados
They contain a toxic component called persin, which can damage heart, lung and other tissue in many animals. This fruit is very toxic to dogs, cats and most animals.

Beer
Alcoholic beverages can cause the same damage to an animal's liver and brain as they cause in humans. But the effects can be deadly on animals since they are much smaller than us. The smaller the animal, the more deadly the effects can be. Even a small amount of alcohol may cause vomiting and damage the liver and brain.

Nuts
Walnuts and macadamia nuts are especially toxic. Effects can be anything from vomiting to paralysis to death. Within 12 hours of eating the nuts, pets start to develop symptoms such as an inability to stand or walk, vomiting, hyperthermia (elevated body temperature), weakness, and an elevated heart rate. These symptoms can be even worse if your dog eats some chocolate with the nuts. The effect can cause kidney failure, often leading to death.

Chocolate
Chocolate contains theobromine, which can kill your pet if eaten in large quantities. Dark and unsweetened baking chocolates are especially dangerous. Giving your pup a piece of chocolate cake or even letting him lick the chocolate icing on the cake could cause him to become ill. Theobromine can also cause a dog or cat's heart to beat very rapidly or irregularly, which could result in death if the pet is exercising or overly active.

Candy
Candy or anything containing Xylitol (a common sweetener found in some diet products) can cause a sudden drop in an animal's blood sugar, loss of coordination and seizures. If left untreated, the animal could die.

Caffeine
Coffee, tea or any product that contains caffeine stimulates an animal's central nervous and cardiac systems. This can lead to restlessness, heart palpitations and death, depending on how much the animal consumes.

Grapes and raisins
Grapes and raisins can lead to kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill them. And the effects are cumulative, which means that even if a dog eats just one or two grapes or raisins regularly, the toxin that builds in his system will eventually kill him.

Onions
Onions are another common food that can be highly toxic to pets. They can destroy an animal's red blood cells and lead to anemia, weakness and breathing difficulties. Their effects are also cumulative over time.

Medicine
Hide medicine from your pets just like you would from your children. The most common cause of pet poisoning is from animals ingesting a medicine or drug normally prescribed for humans.

And this is not just because furry pals are getting into their pet parent's medicine cabinets. In many cases, pet owners give their feline and canine friends an over-the-counter medication to ease an animal's pain. But acetaminophen and ibuprofen, the active ingredients in many common pain relievers, are extremely toxic to dogs and cats. They can cause gastric ulcers, liver damage, kidney failure and sometimes death.

Good news foods

These foods are ok for your pet to take, but make sure they are taken in moderation, and if your pet seems to react at any point, you should consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.

• Lean Meats
• Vegetables
• Fruits
• Baked Potatoes
• Bread
• Rice and Pasta

Lean meats
Any cooked lean meat should be fine for most dogs. High-fat meats, chicken skin and fat from steaks or roasts are not recommended. Ingestion may lead to gastrointestinal upset or even pancreatitis. This can be a very painful condition for dogs. In addition, most companion animals do not need extra fat in their diets. Never give your pet meat with the bone in it. Animals can choke on the bones, and they can splinter as well.

Vegetables
Carrot sticks, green beans, cucumber slices and zucchini slices are all OK.
It's a jungle out there!

Fruit
Apple slices, orange slices, bananas and watermelon are all OK. Make sure the seeds have been taken out; seeds are not good for your pet!

Baked potatoes
Plain baked potatoes are fine, but make sure they are cooked — no unripe potatoes or potato plants.

Bread
Plain cooked bread is fine; just make sure there are no nuts or raisins added.

Rice and pasta
Plain, cooked pasta and white rice are OK. Often veterinarians recommend plain rice with some boiled chicken when gastrointestinal upset is present.
