Millimetrus Quad Rule Note Pad

900 sheets with millimeter grid.

9 x 9cm (3.5" x 3.5").

$10.

For $68 you can endow this pothole

 

True.

According to a March 12, 2010 New York Times story, the German hamlet of Niederzimmern is so strapped for money that it has begun offering, in return for a mere $68 donation, to repair a pothole and then attach the donor's name to the newly filled hole.

Cheap at twice the price.

Catchy, what?

According to the article, "The mayor, Christoph Schmidt-Rose, said the response has been encouraging. The idea, he said, is to make people 'feel like they own the pothole.'"

I've owned worse.

Sponge on a Stick — Episode 2: Back by popular demand

 

Yesterday for about the third or fourth time in the past two years — ever since I featured this nifty mashup in late 2007 — I received a request for a source for this device.

Your wish is my demand... wait a minute, that's not right.

Never mind.
