<strong>Flying Alarm Clock</strong><br /><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><br /><dl><dt><a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/"><img alt="strange gadgets" height="500" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/3823174583_3b89f7ba99.jpg" width="500" /></a></dt></dl></div>Find it hard to wake up in the morning? This clock should definitely  get you on your feet. At the appointed time, it goes off with a loud (  and extremely annoying )siren and launches a rotor into the air that  flies around the room. Even if you hit the snooze button, it will take  off again, so it will undoubtedly get you out of bed. In order to turn  it off you have to get up, find the rotor and place it back on the  clock.<br />Be warned. Don’t use this if you have an open window by your bed or  if your room-mate is a former viet war vet given to ” ‘Nam flashbacks “.<br /><br /><strong>SatuGo Bouncing Digital Camera</strong><br /><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><br /><dl><dt><a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/"><img alt="strange gadgets" height="428" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2500/3823977386_5d77737835.jpg" width="390" /></a></dt></dl></div>Imagine combining your love for bouncing balls and your obsession  with taking pictures into one. SatuGO does exactly that. Basically it is  a bouncing ball, that is also a digital camera with some serious layers  of protection. It is a 3 megapixel camera with 1 GB of NAND flash  memory. Its snaps the picture when the ball hits the ground. There is  also an inbuilt timer that can be used to take air snaps. It can also  work as a webcam. It can also be used to take ordinary pictures. Just  pull the cord/USB cable till it is fully extended and it snaps a photo.  Estimated street price is $69.<br /><br /><strong>Traveller’s T-shirt</strong><br /><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><br /><dl><dt><img alt="strange gadgets" height="337" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2628/3823977524_dd21fb9f2c.jpg" width="350" /></dt></dl></div>While not exactly a gadget, it can be very useful for those who often  travel to places where you don’t know to speak the native language.  This t-shirt is a better way to communicate with the natives than  resorting to sign language. You can simply point at the pictogram of  what you need and then point at the question mark a couple of times.<br /><br /><strong>Brief Safe</strong><br /><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><br /><dl><dt><a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/"><img alt="strange gadgets" height="337" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3551/3823174175_e17d36502d.jpg" width="350" /></a></dt></dl></div>A safe way to store cash and other valuable. Most safes eventually  get cracked. But something that most burglars wouldn’t want to even  touch would be a stained brief. It looks disgusting. But it does the  job. It has a 4” x 10” secret compartment with velcro enclosure that can  secure your cash, documents, and other small valuables.<br /><br /><strong>Day Clock</strong><br /><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><br /><dl><dt><a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/"><img alt="strange gadgets" height="337" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3489/3823978122_93220d2e3f.jpg" width="350" /></a></dt></dl></div>This is the weirdest of them all. Why would anyone need a day clock ?  People on vacation do tend to lose track of what day it is. This is  best suited for laid back fellows who lose track of the day.<br /><br /><strong>Infant “Hand” Pillow</strong><br /><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><br /><dl><dt><a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/"><img alt="strange gadgets" height="337" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2451/3823174313_87a358a93d.jpg" width="350" /></a></dt></dl></div>Sometimes babies wake up the moment they are laid to bed. For those  dads and moms here is sure way to remove a lot of headaches. Named as  Zaky, this <strong>ergonomic infant pillow</strong> mimics the size,  weight, touch, and feels of a mother’s hand and forearm to help her baby  sleep with comfort, support, protection, and development.<br /><br /><strong>Transparent Toaster</strong><br /><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><br /><dl><dt><a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/"><img alt="strange gadgets" height="337" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2653/3823977876_ab1e96719d.jpg" width="350" /></a></dt></dl></div>Have you ever rushed to get things done and in the process ended up burned your toast?

Heating the bread using  transparent heating glass technology, this toaster allows you to see the  bread while it is being toasted and lets you easily turn off the  toaster when the bread has turn that shade of golden brown that you like  best.<span style="font-size: x-small;">[<a href="http://www.smashinggadgets.com/2009/08/7-must-see-strangest-gadgets/">Link</a>]</span>

The Strangest Skateboard Table

Of all the skateboard deck and skateboard sport related furniture  I’ve seen in all my years of seeing such things in my line of work, I  have never, ever, seen something so wild as this. This is the <a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/">strangest</a>,  wildest, most wacky piece of skateboard furniture I have ever seen. It  tops both the categories of skateboard related AND skateboard  constructed (meaning there’s skateboard parts included) furniture. Tops.  Wild.<br /><span id="more-31708"></span><br /><br />This amalgamation is called  PigZig 2.0 and it’s meant to be a hallway table. The “over vertical”  element (the two big swoops piece) is made of hand fabricated stainless  steel. Maple skateboard decks on top, 369 Independent trucks holding  75mm BigZig lime green wheels on the bottom.<br /><br />Whether you plan on  placing some glasses of caffeine-laced soda pop on top or dropping this  into a halfpipe with you on top of it, please, PLEASE use nothing but  caution. So, so much of it.<br /><br /><a href="http://mccabesk8works.blogspot.com/" target="other"></a><br /><a href="http://strangestfunny.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31709" height="428" src="http://www.yankodesign.com/images/design_news/2010/07/22/pigzigtwopointoh01.jpg" title="PigZig 2.0 by Dan McCabe" width="605" /></a><br /><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31710" height="428" src="http://www.yankodesign.com/images/design_news/2010/07/22/pigzigtwopointoh02.jpg" title="pigzigtwopointoh02" width="605" /><br /><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31711" height="428" src="http://www.yankodesign.com/images/design_news/2010/07/22/pigzigtwopointoh03.jpg" title="pigzigtwopointoh03" width="605" /><br />[<a href="http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/07/23/the-strangest-skateboard-table/">link</a>]

Six Strangest Chinese Haircuts

The wide and wonderfully weird nation of the People’s Republic of  China gives rise to many wacky things, and haircuts are no exception.  From long to short to sculpted to shaved, bizarre Chinese hairstyles  come in many different guises. Check out our photo rundown of some of  the most unusual hairstyles to be found across the Middle Kingdom.<br /><br /><strong>1. The Architectural Scalp</strong><br />This person evidently has lots of pride in China’s national  instiutions – she has transformed the back of her head into a colorful  and surprisingly convincing representation of Beijing’s Tiananmen  Square.<br /><img alt="Haircut1 Six Strangest Chinese Haircuts picture" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25361" height="683" src="http://www.weirdasianews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Haircut1.jpg" title="Haircut1 photo" width="450" /><br /><br /><strong>2. The Political Message</strong><br />This man from Henan province had the hair on the back of his head cut  into eight Chinese characters. The evidently labor-intensive message  translates as “Celebrate the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong’s return”.<br /><img alt="haircut2 Six Strangest Chinese Haircuts picture" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25360" height="384" src="http://www.weirdasianews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/haircut2.jpg" title="haircut2 photo" width="575" /><br /><br /><strong>3. The Bizzarre Baby Bob</strong><br />No further explanation necessary…<br /><img alt="baby haircut Six Strangest Chinese Haircuts picture" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25362" height="523" src="http://www.weirdasianews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/baby-haircut.jpg" title="baby haircut photo" width="400" /><br /><br /><strong>4. The Whale-Shaped Headache Hair</strong><br />Even though it looks like it may cause severe neck trauma, this  bloated ponytail was all the rage in China during the 19th Century. This  lady’s visible discontent may or may not be related to the massive  wedge of hair hanging off her scalp.<br /><img alt="haircut4 Six Strangest Chinese Haircuts picture" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25364" height="590" src="http://www.weirdasianews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/haircut4.jpg" title="haircut4 photo" width="500" /><br /><br /><strong>5. The Shanghai Expo Mascot</strong><br />This kid looks like he was very excited about the 2010 Shanghai Expo  when he got his last haircut. The Worlds Fair-style event, which  involves more than 190 countries, is expected to have seen 100 million  visitors by the time it wraps up on 31 October.<br /><br />Alternatively, the boy might just be a fan of ‘Haibao’, the cute  official mascot for the event.
