Touch wood phone from Japan

Touch wood phone
All these phones are make from the surplus wood of trees culled during thinning operations to maintain healthy forests. This concept was a joint project between Sharp Corporation, Olympus Corporation and “more trees,”. This project was name reforestation and is founded by musician Ryuichi Sakamoto and others.
The authentic cypress wood body of the prototype, which is named TOUCH WOOD, features excellent durability and resistance to water, insects and mildew thanks to special three-dimensional compression molding developed by Olympus Corporation. Conventional natural wood is not suitable for use as mobile phone bodies because they tend to wear out quickly.
Each TOUCH WOOD handset features its own distinctive grain patterns and natural coloring. No artificial colors or paints are used, so the cypress retains its original natural appearance and aroma. The wood also has an attractive shine that is created during the compression process.
It will will not be long before this type of phones start to appear at consumer store. In my previous post Japan has introduce the NoPoPo battery and seen like this Touch wood phone is another step taken to promote Eco-friendly environment.

Your steering wheel mate; Wheelmate

Wheelmate
Caught in traffic jam, this seem to be a quick solution for you to have your lunch/dinner/breakfast inside your car or carry on working with your laptop. You may have to push your driver seat back a little and driving with this thing attached to your steering wheel will likely breaks several local and state laws. There is a safety precaution written on the product box saying, “For safety reasons, never use this product while driving.” Seem to advise you to pull over before you start having your food or computing.

Some weird and funny gadgets
Honda sex robot

Honda sex robot
I not sure is this still in production. But seen to be a great present for both male and female. This weird robot has four expandable penis, vagina of various sizes, and nipple tweakers too.
Anti-rape Device

Anti-rape Device
This device has a fish-like teeth that could injure the head and the shaft of the penis and that would give the assaulted women a chance to flee from the place. The news in the air is that Rapex will soon be patented. The anti-rape Rapex will be mass-produced in China to lower costs. Since most country ban pepper spray this will be a good alternative to protect women. Especially for those who go clubbing often and easily get drunk.
Boobs Radio

Boobs radio
Nothing much to say about this, it just a radio power by battery. The best part is that you will use the nipple for tunning your channel and control your radio volume.
Bat clothes Peg

Bat clothes peg
Maybe by hangging this special design clothes peg will scare away those crows that may dirty your clothes.
Time Machine Clock

Time machine clock
The Time Machine Clock is a kinetic display device that eschews the normal conventions of a timepiece – hands, to you and me – and instead replaces them with an altogether more elaborate means of saying ‘ten past two’. As ever with complex machinery, there’s beauty in the telling of the story. The destination is important, but there is equal joy to be found in the journey. This remarkable device deploys dozens of shiny chrome ball bearings along an elaborate course to enable the telling of the time. A central spindle counts the seconds, releasing a ball every minute. Once five minutes is reached, the five minute ball is released. These balls accumulate until 12 have been released, whereupon the one hour ball is set free and rolls into place. This continues on the hour, every hour. via funniestgadgets
