30-foot rotating head water fountain

From So Bad So Good:

...........................

It stands 30 feet tall and weighs a staggering 14 tons. And yes, it's awesome.

We're talking about the simply epic mirrored water foundation known as Metalmorphosis — the brainchild of Czech sculptor David Černý.

He designed the sculpture to rotate 360° with each element out of sync — although occasionally they align to form a gigantic face."

It's situated in Charlotte, North Carolina but you don't have to go there to see it: there's a live webcam.

Pet Emergency Evacuation Jacket

Gray Cat, after giving this item close scrutiny, gave me an firm head butt — the feline equivalent of a thumbs-up.

From the website:

..........................

Longtime pets feel like part of the family but in times of crisis, they can get skittish and hard to manage, endangering themselves and their owners.

You can stop worrying, though, because the brand-new Pet Evacuation Jacket is here to get you and your pet to safety in fires, earthquakes, and other disasters.

Made from the same material used by Japan's world-class firefighters, this flame-retardant suit protects from heat while adding a carrying handle for controlling and transporting frantic pets.

It's not just for your furry friend, though — pockets on the side of the jacket hold emergency tools and supplies for pet and owner alike.

With rugged hardware, professional-grade materials, and rapid Velcro closure, it's one less thing to think about in emergency situations.

Features and details:

• Heavy-duty carry handle and double-duty strap/leash

• Japan Firefighting Association-certified flame-redardant jacket

• Materials: polyester (base cloth); polyurethane (outer shell); fireproof acrylic (lining)

• Pet supplies: food bowl, muzzle, hermetically-sealed odor control bag (for any items distressing the pet), protective rain hood and rubber booties, freezer gel packs (to control heat), bell, waterproof ID capsule with blank paper

• Human/pet supplies: 50ml sealed water packs for drinking or disinfecting, nutrition bars, bandages, aromatic oil (for calming panic), first-aid gloves, mini-radio, emergency whistle

• Number of water packs and energy bars vary; see size chart for details

• Manual: Japanese but self-explanatory

Titanium Mouse

From the website:

...............................

 Instead of being a practical object, this mouse was designed to be an expression of identity, luxury, and elegance.

The design made of plastic resin, high quality titanium, and a scroll of stone surpasses all expectations for a computer mouse.

The scroll wheel is a neodymium magnet, specially designed and manufactured for us.

The outer shell of the mouse is constructed of titanium and formed by hand.
