Face Bank

Face Bank is a money eating piggy bank from, you guessed it... Japan. It features an object-sensitive sensor to recognise different coins. As you can see from the video below Face Bank does actually eat coins. Maybe it's just me but they kind of creeps me out. At the moment face bank's are only available in Japan but it's only a matter of time before you can get them worldwide. If fact you can pick them up on eBay already.

The following video is the basic Face Bank model available in a variety of colors:




... and these are the Face Bank EX models in brick and mortar effect:

Craniofacial Duplication

Craniofacial Duplication
A girl in India, Lali, was born with two faces due to a rare condition known as craniofacial duplication. What's really surprising about her condition is that she appears to be perfectly healthy, breathing through both noses, eating through both mouths and seeing through all four eyes. Lali has craniofacial duplication (diprosopus), a rare congenital condition in which a single head has two faces. Except for her ears, all of her facial features are duplicated.

According to her doctor Lali is doing very well, she "drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time". Her parents believe she is the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess.

New Kids On The Block Are Back
So New Kids On The Block are back together for the first time in 14 years. My girlfriend will be very happy indeed!

They are currently working on a new album set for release in the summer 2008. This will be their first album since 1994's Face The Music. Before the new album is released there will be a new single as well.

There are also plans afoot for an international tour in the Autumn. It'll be interesting to see if they're as agile as they were at the hight of there fame in the nineties?
