Things that exist: fart pads


For the not-so-smelly farts, there's the Flatulence Deodorizer - Disposable:
The Flatulence Deodorizer - Disposable is an activated charcoal cloth pad that is worn taped inside the underwear next to the buttocks. The wearer is virtually unaware of its presence because it thin and comfortable inside the undergarment. The activated carbon cloth pad is disposable so you can throw it away after use.

When intestinal gas is expelled the flatulence filter pad absorbs the gas odor normally associated with the gassy discharge or flatus.

The flatulence deodorizer is like having on charcoal underwear and will eliminate your gas odors. There is no cure for flatulence but this is a simple solution for absorbing odor at the source.

Starry Night dominoes

Youtuber FlippyCat Domino's second attempt in recreating Van Gogh's Starry Night using 7,000+ dominoes that took 11 hours to complete.

The first attempt failed, when I dropped a screw from the camera rig onto it. I was able to improve the swirling clouds better in the second attempt as a result though. I do not know how long the first attempt took, but I did not have any accidents building like I did in the second attempt!

There were 2 small breaks in the fall of this project. I did not complete the leading grey line and left out a domino which stopped the reaction in the bottom. The star that is left standing was very close to falling, but the first dominos held in place :(

Perspective - a first-person puzzle/2d video game hybrid

A DigiPen Institute of Technology student is developing Perspective - a revolutionary video game that combines 3D and 2D platforms.
Perspective takes what would otherwise be a fairly typical 2D platformer and once again shoves it into a 3D world. This one isn’t confined to the four faces of a cube though, instead, the player is given control of the camera from a first person perspective. While doing this, the screen 2D character is locked in place and once the perspective has been shifted, they can then be unlocked and travel across the world. It’s basically like walking through a 3D level but having to bring a little 2D person with you, sort of.
Now I know you didn't get any of that, so better watch the trailer:

Adele brings kid back from coma


7-year-old Charlotte Neve fell into a coma back in April, after suffering a brain haemorrhage in her sleep. It was pretty bad and doctors told her mother she to prepare for the worst.
But, when Ms Neve, 31, got in the hospital bed to give Charlotte her final cuddle, Adele's ''Rolling in the Deep'' came on the radio - a song the pair used to sing together.

Ms Neve started singing it to her daughter - and Charlotte began to smile - astounding doctors.

Within two days, Charlotte had started speaking, could focus on colours and managed to get up from her bed.

Two months on, she is now learning to walk and talk and has regained partial sight. She has now gone back to school and dance classes.
