Dust and Shake - You've heard of Shake 'n Vac, but here's an even better way to put the freshness back into tedious household chores. Before dusting, fill the Dust and Shake with three parts gin, a dash of Martini (?), and half a dozen cracked ice cubes. Dust vigorously, then strain your chore-rewarding dry Martini into a glass, and put your feet up. Then get up, refill, and start on the next room. Your household chores will soon begin to seem like one long party. Eye Drop Funnel Glasses - Why is the application of eye-drops so problematic? You open your eyes wide, stare straight up at a bulging droplet, squeeze the bottle, and wait for gravity to do its job. Yet the next sensation you ave is of the cool expensive medicine trickling down the side of your face. It's enough to make you weep. These specially customized glasses guarantee no-more-tears eye drop application. No need for accuracy. Provided the solution makes it into the funnels, you'll score a bulls-eye every time. Rotating Spaghetti Fork - The inventor of the tradition of eating spaghetti with a fork must have been a real practical joker. How is it possible to eat spaghetti and retain your dignity? At long last, the Rotating Spaghetti Fork is the answer. With two small batteries and a motor that doesn't spin to fast in your utensil, you can turn pasta consumption into a smoother and more enjoyable enterprise. Solar Powered Flashlight - Dispense with batteries. Take one solar panel and a torch and see how easy it is to harness light from the sun, converting it into six volts of pure power and a bright beam. Portable Commuter Seat - We all like to get a seat on a crowded train. But some of us don't want to fight for it (and some of us who do want to fight for it always seem to lose). As so often in life, the solution is to bring your own. The Portable Commuter Seat fits snuggly in the slight space between the thighs of more conventionally seated passengers. In fact the slighter the space the better the ride, as a tight fit means less wobbling will occur when the train goes round the bend. -Randy
