Whittlin’: Guns Carved Into Old School Desks

Ben Turnbull is fascinated by the global dominance of American culture, and his work’s unsettling effects result from re-presenting the toys of our innocent youth in symbolic forms that reveal the shocking truths about war, death and guns in the world’s most powerful country. Turnbull is a passionate critic of the contemporary American political system, and explains why toys are central to his work: ‘Force fed on violence, abused by a controlling superpower and blackmailed through patriotism, the public are ultimately as disposable as the toys they once played with.’

wow. awesome school desk is awesome.

‘Euro Condom’ by Ingo Maurer | dsgnWrld

Protect yourself from stupid rules, use the ‘Euro Condom’!: the ‘Euro Condom’ as part of Milan Design Week 2009.

As from September 2009 frosted bulbs will be banned in accordance with new EU guidelines on light sources because they are said give off less light than clear bulbs. However, according to the specifications of various manufacturers the difference, measured in Lumens, is negligible or not existent.

German designer Ingo Maurer unveiled ‘Euro Condom’ created in response to new EU guidelines that will see frosted light bulbs banned. The product consists of a thin, heat-resistant silicone cover that turns a clear bulb into a frosted one.

The Couple Separated for the Longest Time (60 years)

Sixty years ago, Boris and Anna Kozlov were married for only three days before he had to ship out with his Red Army unit. When he returned, Anna and her family were gone – exiled to Siberia by Stalin’s purges. Then one day, on a chance encounter, they found each other again!

“I thought my eyes were playing games on me,” Anna said. “I saw this familiar looking man approaching me, his eyes gazing at me. My heart jumped. I knew it was him. I was crying with joy.” 80 year-old Boris had returned to visit his parents’ grave. As he stepped out of the car, he looked up to see Anna standing by her old house, where they had lived for the few days after the wedding. “I ran up to her and said: ‘My darling, I’ve been waiting for you for so long. My wife, my life…’”
