Changing shape of chocolates trigger complaint

British doctors have made a complaint to a chocolate manufacturer after the firm changed the shape of two sweets that could be used to measure testicles in pubescent boys.
.
The problem focuses on wrapped chocolates called Teasers and Truffles, whose 8mm oval shape was a dead ringer for a bead used in an orchid meter -- a gadget that measures testes to ensure they are developing normally. But Teasers' and Truffles' unusual contribution to public health is now doomed after their manufacturer, Masterfoods UK, changed the shape of the chocs, leaving them bigger and flat-bottomed. "This is a major setback to pediatrics endocrinology," say Gareth Williams of the medical faculty at Bristol University and Poonam Dharmaraj, a pediatrician at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle."Clearly, the original design should be reinstated.

Disposable Soles: classy substitute for foot wear

Here's a design for people who refuse to accept the tyranny of the shoe. Sure, footwear is often considered one of the great milestones of civilization, but the Disposable Sole boils it down to the basics. It's a sole-shaped sticky pad you step on and then that's it — you're good to go! Well, sort of. I mean, the Disposable Sole may be a fine replacement for house slippers, but it's probably not the best choice for any sort of irregular terrain outdoors. At least it goes on and comes off easy, right?
The Disposable Sole is a concept by Jun-Soo Choi.

Multi-Bird Holiday Roast

12 different birds are stuffed together one inside another from smallest to the largest
Now that really is a Christmas dinner


In the tradition of Turducken -- but much more bizarre -- The Multi-Bird True Love Roast contains the meat of twelve (12) birds stuffed inside a turkey: turkey, goose, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon squab, Aylesbury duck, Barbary duck, poussin, guinea fowl and mallard-and quail.

Can life get any better?

If you can live with its somewhat boring design, this autonomous robot -- built by a college student for an engineering project -- will reward you with a nice glass of beer. Aside from the double sided roller claw, a custom pneumatic bottle opener contributes to its remarkable liquid-pouring functionality. Video demonstration. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Dumb ass questions prompts smart ass answers......

SMART ASS ANSWER #6 -- It was mealtime during a flight on Hooters Airline. "Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked John, seated in front. "What are my choices?" John asked. "Yes or no," she replied.
.
SMART ASS ANSWER #5 -- A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat, she said, “Sir, I need to see your ticket, not your stub."
.
SMART ASS ANSWER #4 -- A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."
.
SMART ASS ANSWER #3 -- The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.
.
SMART ASS ANSWER #2 -- A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, "Low Bridge Ahead." Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."
.
SMART ASS ANSWER #1 -- A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!" A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?" The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."
.
Two bonus extras:
#1. A blonde goes to the post office to buy stamps for her Christmas cards. She says to the clerk, "May I have 50 Christmas stamps?"The clerk says, "What denomination?" The blonde says, "God help us. Has it come to this? Well, then, give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and 22 Baptists."
.
#2. A woman is standing nude looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment." The husband replies, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."
