A spray on condom? |

Sick of fumbling with those old-fashioned prophylactics? Well have no fear, the spray-on condom is here! Jan Vinzenz Krause from the Institute for Condom Consultancy and his team are developing the ultimate in comfortable protection for men, Reuters reports. No more strewn condom wrappers or pesky imprints in your wallet … the condom of the future will be spray-as-you-go. Krause’s invention consists of a can-type device that sprays latex from all sides. "We call it the ‘360 degree procedure’ — once round and from top to bottom. It’s a bit like a car wash." Krause says the plan is to have the product work in about 5 seconds, making it especially convenient for those heat-of-the-moment situations where time is of the essence. He says the product will be extra-effective since it will be custom fit and won’t slip. However, before the new condom can be sold in shops, the company has to ensure that the latex gets evenly spread when it’s sprayed. Mr Krause hopes the hi-tech condom, which will be available in different strengths and colors, will on the market by 2008. Krause said he had hit upon the idea when considering the difficulties some people faced using condoms, and drew inspiration from spray-on plasters now used in medicine.

Can you imagine spraying a condom on someone? I don’t know about you, but the idea kind of freaks me out.

I can’t quite place it, but the aquapet looks like a lot like another toy???

Wigs for babies! |

It’s never too long before the latest craze to sweep America makes its way to the UK but most would wish this one really hadn’t. Celebrity wigs designed for babies up to nine months old and are set to hit the market, to the outrage of children’s charities. There’s a Bob Marley style dreadlock wig, a Samuel L Jackson afro as seen in movie Pulp Fiction and a Donald Trump comb-over – perhaps for that mature look. For the girls there’s flowing pink locks based on singer Lil’ Kim. But Michelle Elliott of Kidscape said as well as unnecessary the wigs could be dangerous. "This is ridiculous. Any parent who buys one of these wigs for their child needs their head examining." Wigs are incredibly uncomfortable for a start. Babies are wonderful but dirty little things and the last thing they need is a wig." The wigs are manufactured by California-based firm BabyToupee and cost £14. The firm’s website says its aim to "show that while parenting can be a great responsibility, it can also be a source of endless amusement." Founder Graham Farrar said: "Having a baby doesn’t mean you have to stop having fun or do everything by the book. We don’ take ourselves or our products too seriously."

The things you can see on Google Earth! |

When most people use virtual globe Google Earth, they look up such sights as Sydney Opera House, Big Ben or even their own homes. But two of the computer program’s users got an extra surprise when they explored the Dutch city of the Hague – and spotted topless sunbathers. A Dutch blogger looking for his favourite pub accidentally zeroed in on a man wearing just shorts, lying on the roof of a house by a canal. A woman lying face down on a separate rooftop terrace was spied by an unknown browser who mentioned it on an online forum. The sunbathers found their way on to Google Earth because they were catching a tan when the satellite used for mapping the planet was passing overhead. A Google Earth spokeswoman said: "Things like this do happen and people will find them for a bit of fun." Other bizarre sightings include "hovering cars" in Perth and missiles in the deserts of Iraq. With higher quality satellite imagery being added, it is now possible to see people going about their daily lives. But these two cases are the first reported instances of this type of partial nudity.
