Somebody’s old-ass grandma in San Diego is making a fortune selling $60 suicide kits online designed to enable a person to constantly inhale pure helium gas (not included) and die. Me? I plan on accidentally inhaling a mouthful of titties when I’m like 400 and choking to death. Charlotte said her sales were nearly $100,000 last year. That’s more than 1,600 suicide kits. The business is legal because of a loophole in California law but many question the ethics behind it. She said she does this work for those people and that she’ll continue as long as the law allows. *looking at picture* That, uh, that looks suspiciously like a cardboard box, length of tube, and a plastic bag with the elastic from a gym sock sewn to it. Retail value at Home Depot? $8. “Dead people don’t need money!” Ha — and neither do 91-year old grammas. *flipping mattress* TELL ME WHERE IT’S HIDDEN YOU OLD BAG. La Mesa Woman, 91, Determined To Continue Selling Suicide Kits [10news] Thanks to patrick and Diane, who agree if you’re thinking about offing yourself to seek help. Just sayin’, sometimes we all need somebody to lean on. Especially me (you’d swear I was born with only one leg!)

Lunch Bugs are sandwich bags with bugs printed on them to help deter lunch theft. They’re basically a variation of the already-existing mold-bags and will run you $7 for a 24-pack. That makes them almost $0.30 apiece, which is a little steep for a bag (I pay $0.99 for snack pack Doritos and get a meal AND condom out of the deal). Still, maybe lunch theft is serious problem at your work. Don’t get me wrong, it is at mine too, I’ve just learned to deal with it. GW uses ‘announce he put boogers in his sandwich’. It’s super effective! Product Site Thanks to Leftover, who just hides sandwiches in the middle of a big tub of salad. Smart.

Pluggage is a prototype for a carry-on suitcase featuring a built-in battery/inverter and solar panel. Thus, it charges both as it rolls and picks up direct sunlight. The bag was created by ITP student Ohad Folman, who spent 3 months tricking out a Burton Wheelie Flight Deck rolling suitcase with a Duracell PowerSource Mobile 100 external battery pack, a stepper motor , multimeter to display battery life, and a Burton SolarRolls panel capable of generating 4.5 watts. The battery, says, Ohad, will charge within ~2 hours of walk time assuming an average walking speed between 2-5 kilometers/hour. A full charge should power a laptop for about 1.5 hours, depending on the make/model. Unfortunately, Ohad has had a heck of a time getting manufacturers like Samsonite to even check out his invention. Hence, he’s hoping to license the tech to a smaller luggage/travel company: I would envision this piece to retail for $400 to $550 depending on the model (with flexible solar capability or without). The kids model would probably be cheaper (around $250) and the bare-bones (for those who already have a carry-on case) and are interested in the kinetic capabilities would be around $300. I’m working on making the kinetic mechanism removable (like a tape cassette) so it can go through air port security easily (the kinetic mechanism can be scanned separately). I’m also working on hand release switch that will enable the user to remove the friction between the motor and the wheels in situations where the user needs to rush somewhere and does not want to have to deal with any level of friction. I’d buy one.
