Global Warming Merchandising
This weekend my friend and me were looking through one of her goofy gift catalogues and came across this item.
Global Warming Mugs
Fill it with a hot beverage and watch the coastlines disappear. When the mug cools off, the coastlines will reappear. Sure to start a conversation, share this set of two 12 oz. ceramic mugs with a friend.
Nice to know that not everyone is taking global warming quite so seriously. Unfortunately, the picture that was in the catalogue is not on the webpage, so you can’t see how much coastline disappears.
While you’re at it, check out this gift.
For centuries, the giant stone statues on Easter Island have puzzled archaeologists and explorers. The tallest one still standing is about 37' high. Considerably smaller and, let’s face it, more practical, our resin tissue holder sits flat or mounts on a wall. Fits standard-size tissue boxes.
I think I'm going to die laughing. I'm sure the practitioners of the ancient religion on Easter Island would be glad to know that replicas of their solemn stone statues are now dispensing tissue through their nose.
