In the course of bringing you one thing per day that we think is worth knowing about, we naturally run across plenty that... aren’t. But fear not, we stockpile those not-so-narrow misses so we can unload them on you one day a year. Today is that day. But remember: some things can’t be unseen.
What we have here are basically male garters: boxers featuring tiny alligator clips that attach to your dress shirt, the better to keep it tucked in. In advance of an intimate moment, however, just have a good explanation ready as to why you have alligator clips in your underwear.
Here we have foxes, purple cats and raccoons... also known as three things you shouldn’t pretend to have sticking out of your pocket. These tails attach to the USB interface on your phone, but you can also download an image of the matching animal for an extra dose of fun. Or ridicule.
We know, you hate doing the head bob while you’re trying to fall asleep on a plane. So put this industrial-strength (and they’d like you to know, “award-winning”) chin rest on, and let the other passengers on the plane wonder why you just put yourself in traction.
Well, now that you’ve got such great posture in seat 23B, better keep it up once you’re back on terra firma. These little battery-powered stickies sense when you start to slouch and then jolt you to attention. Also handy for masochists.
When you get a message with an emoticon, you think, “If only this could be more realistic. If only someone created an app that let people use Skype to record their faces in various states of emotion.” Actually, no. You think, “This is annoying.”
