Filed under Curious Creations
This amazing evolution of a traditional spinning top appears to defy physics and gravity. Just a quick twist gets it started and, as the spin becomes smoother, it actually speeds up. On a flat, smooth surface it will remain like this for hours (literally), as long as it remains untouched. All the time it is [...]

At first and even second glance you would be forgiven for thinking that it really is made of chocolate. It looks, feels and even smells (yes, it’s scented) of chocolate, but it is in fact a working solar powered calculator. The slip off and foil wrapper makes it particularly convincing. Strange, but an easy stocking [...]

Anyone who has popped bubble-wrap will know just how addictive and curiously therapeutic it can be. The problem with bubble-wrap is that, with each tiny pleasure filled explosion, the wrap is destroyed a little more. Also, carrying a roll around with you is inconvenient and, in time, likely to attract derisive comments from friends and [...]
