An age old school tradition could be brought to an end by eight-year-old twins from Ohio who claim to have come up with pants which are wedgie proof.

{title}Bianca Is a Great Headline Writer - Thanks!
Thanks for making my trends (and others I'm sure) much more intriguing because of your clever headline writing skills. 		If sucking up and flagging yourself make you happy I don't think anyone should judge.

{title}Hybrid Toys - Sang Won Sung Mutant X
Brazil-based artist Sang Won Sung may have been inspired by Toy Story when he designed these weird, yet interesting mutant toys. The Korean-born contemporary artist plucked out parts from various toys… 		Cool! It's like Conan's "What if they made it?" for toys. Like what if G.I. Joe made it with and Easy-Bake-Oven or Wetsy Betsy did it with a Transformer?

{title}Matchbox-Sized Monitors - Edinburgh's School of Engineering Portable Supercomputer

{title}Undies With Phone Holster - Call Me Panty
"Excuse me while I answer my panties." You may hear this in the future, and now you'll know why. Call Me Panty is obviously targeting the geek who likes to wear women's clothes (male or female geek.)… 		Clearly on vibration mode, their not answering anytime soon

{title}"Dumbledore is gay," - JK Rowling
Yes that’s right. JK Rowling just outs one of the Hogwart’s character. During her “Open Book Tour” in the US, one young fan asked her if Dumbledore finds "true love”. She then responded “Dumbledore is gay.” Well, I guess this is another reason for some Christian groups the hate her nov… 		But are Scooby and Shaggy more than just "buddies"? Peppermint Patty is clearly a lesbian, Bert and Ernie aren't fooling anybody and what the hell are Teletubbies into anyway?

{title}$1.3 Million Bra - Diamond & Sapphire Underwear
This diamond studded undergarment has 2,500 diamonds with a 5.4 carat sapphire in the center. The bra is said to be worth about $1.3 million. Models showed off the bra on October 13 at China's Zhejiang… 		OK Sixty, you clearly have a have your freak on for diamond studded underwear. Like I said I just gotta scream! I'm a purist, if the boobs are good diamonds are just an extravagant distraction. Yhen once you get it off ya gotta be all worried about where ya put it. who wants to put their underwear in a safe? Kind of kills the mood.

{title}$4.5 Million Bra - Victoria's Secret Experience
Not content to offer only a fantasy bra, Victoria's Secret is accessorizing to offer a gift set of bra, thong, garter, cuff bracelet and matching barrette. This over-the-top set is decorated with $4.5… 		I'll be the first to admit that I don't really "get" the whole fashion industry. Specifically if I see another multimillion $ diamond bra, I'm going to scream. The first time, it was at least original, now it is just obnoxious.

{title}Lincoln's Face-Lift - Colourful New Fives
If you're handed a $5 bill that looks a little strange, don't fear! The Treasury Department has given Lincoln a facelift. The Treasury is rolling out new fives featuring state of the art anti-counterfeiting… 		If I was describing Canadian dollars or British pounds I might write that they arecolourful, but these are American dollars being discussed so I think they should be described as colorful using the American spelling.

{title}World's Tallest High Rise - Burj Dubai Breaks Records
Dubai prides itself on surpassing every other urban metropolis on the planet, so it's no surprise that they've just erected the world's tallest high-rise. The Burj Dubai, a hotel, residence and business complex, lists at $4.1 billion and is currently in its final stages of construction. Upon complet… 		This is a duplicate. I posted about this on Jul 23, 07 when the Burj first surpassed the existing record holder HERE

{title}Microscopic Sculptures - Art by Willard Wigan
Art is created to be viewed. It can evoke inspiration, creativity, confusion or wonder. But what about eye strain? UK artist Willard Wigan has created art sculptures so tiny, the naked eye can't fully… 		This is awesome in its minuteness, like how big is Elvis' microphone. Love Henry the Eighth and the Titanic. I don't understand how this guy does this buy hand.

{title}Pet Rentals - FlexPetz Rents out Dogs
Always trendsetting, Southern California does it again with a service for those who know that full-time canine ownership is not a lifestyle option for them but do not want to deprive themselves of the joy of having a dog. FlexPetz’s owner prefers the term "shared pet ownership," rather than “pet… 		NOT duplicate trend

{title}Handheld 3-D Hologram Machine - Fake, But Lets Call it Today's Daydream
Titled the Warp Pod, this small screen on this video displays an animated hologram of a woman. To my surprise, the user interacted with the virtual woman. It reminded me of when R2D2 showed the 3-D image… 		Sorry, the technology to make such a hologram machine doesn't exist yet but the technology to make a video lke this is widely available.
