It’s cheating.

Call me a dinosaur all you want, I prefer the original over this $US15 “modern” update, faults and all. This thing makes everything so easy and carefree. How boring.

On a related note, 3D Etch-A-Sketches? You’re cool. [Etch A Sketch Freestyle via OhGizmo]

Ever use it to have sex? Yeah, um… me neither. Anyway, it turned 30 years old this month. To celebrate, Japan’s Mega Store is releasing an updated line of products called Adult Slime. Nostalgic Generation Xer’s will be happy to know the line has expanded to include four new scents that “appeal to adult sensitivities,” including hot, relax, love and the ironically named elegance. Bedroom? Meet Slimer. Wet Naps not included. [Trends in Japan]
