Inventing in progress

Well, I couldn’t really think of something that awesome and helpful that I could share with you guys.

All things I’ve come across lately on the internet were just some gadgets and gizmos or nicely designed things that soon would end up on the attic with other non-used things.

But since the holidays are coming I’ve reminded myself of what really annoys me during a backpacked trips.

The weight of  a backpack. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a way to minimize the weight of it? (Yeah, I know- take less stuff and it’ll be ok). Just imagine how great it would be if you could take all the things you need for vacations and there was a weight limit of a backpack- and it would always weight the same.

Maybe I just thought of it because my favorite backpack’s carrying straps started falling apart from it… It just waits for me to go for a trip to the mountains and then the backpack straps will fall off... ;-)  

Did you really think through your order…?

I don’t know if you will find this story funny… I was more confused than amused at the time :-)

Me and my friends went to the seaside and after some sightseeing we’ve got hungry and started searching for a place where we could have lunch. 

We found this small take-away bar where you can buy a hot-dog, hamburger, fries and so on, but nothing on the menu (except fries) was vegetarian.  After looking on the menu for some dish I could just modify a bit while placing my order to be meat-free- I got to the counter and politely asked:

-          Can I have a ‘kebab’ but without meat in it, please..? (I know that it sounded a bit absurd…At least I was trying! ;-) )

-          A ‘kebab’ without meat?!- I felt I needed to explain what I meant by ordering such a thing so I replied:

-          Yes, well, in my town we call it ‘knysza’ or ‘pita’ with vegetables. Can I have just a bread roll with vegetables and sauce, please? – At this point I though everything was ok and in a moment I will have my lunch. But no.

-          Well… you could ask me for a “vegetarian bread roll”- Said the lady behind the counter after few seconds. So finally I knew what was the name of food I wanted to eat and gladly I ordered:

-          Can I have a ‘vegetarian bread roll’, please..?

-          Why of course!

And I must say it was a pretty tasty piece of bread roll filled with vegetables and sauce...!

FASHION, SHOES & POLICE

I was looking for some inventing made only for girls and I found it! What is the most girlish thing in a world? High heels shoes, of course! Even little girls know that shoes are important in women’s life and that a new pair of shoes can change your life - Cinderella is a proof of that :)

Have a look at this odd-looking shoes inspired by shape of a police car. It has LED lights which one can turn on and off. Girls do you want your shoes to be shining blue and red lights? Boys do you want this shoes to be a part of Polish police officers uniform?

EURO 2012- MISTAKE

Honestly I had no idea what to write as a funny story until I’ve red this news about EURO 2012! Unfortunately  it’s a black humour... unfortunately it’s about our country.

Yesterday, on the internet appeared an article about linguistic mistake on Polish EURO 2012 advertising campaign.  Poland wants to be seen as a friendly and hospitable nation so the EURO 2012 advertising experts  invented a slogan: “FEEL LIKE AT HOME”. The point is that there is a mistake in this sentence. Andy Edwins (an English translator) said that this phrase doesn’t exists in his language. One can say: “feel at home” or “feel like you’re at home”.

To sum up I thought that it is a myth that Polish people say “shit’s going around me” if they “don’t care”… but as we can see even specialists makes this kind of mistakes. And I’m wonder how it is possible that no one noticed this mistake before hundreds of poster were ploted?

Plastic surgery? Never again!

You can saw in Bartek's post, that the Japanese have incredible ideas and can make life easier. I think that their minds have no limits in inventing new things. They specilised in inventing new technologies (robots, machines) which are very interesting for men but recently they made also something for female part their society.
A lot of women want to look like Hollywood stars, but everybody knows that it cost a lot and it's really painfull. The Japanese say: plastic surgery, botox and pain? Never again!

They invented a few little gadgets to end problems with wrinkles, crooked nose and tired face.
A lot of women in Japan don't like their flat nose and want to have more european nose shape. With help of this clips they can make it.












Another gadgets are to wrinkles reduction on face, under eyes or around the mouth. They look a little bit funny - like a mask or glasses made of rubber.


 It's also something to mix a nice massage with firming the skin.                                                        

The producer say that this gadgets give amazing results and it's enough to wear it half an hour per day.
As you see the Japanese have many ideas to change our lifes.

P.S. I've got problems with pasting photoś so you can watch all this gadgets under link below.

“PROJECT GLASS” – the glasses of the future

        The Project Glass is a very interesting gadget that is going to let people use the functions actually available to the most smartphone users in the unusual way: in the form of glasses. This glasses will be able to display different types of information, from the text messages through the reminders, ending on the interactive maps. The device is going to be operated via voice commands. The glasses are being created in the Google’s Google X’s laboratory which has worked on other futuristic technologies such as “self-driving car” or “space elevator”. Google didn’t give a specific date when the glasses are going to be available to use (unconfirmed sources say about the end of the 2012), but the device is already being tested by engineers outside the laboratory building.

There is a film that can help visualize what the glasses are:

THE ANECDOTE

COINCIDENCE

Story from my life. This is more black humor, but still funny :)

        A few years ago there was my grandfather’s funeral in my hometown, and because of that all family arrived to participate in this ceremony. After funeral some of them stayed for the night in my uncle’s house, to rest before the way back. And, in the morning of the next day after funeral, me, my mother and father were driving to my uncle’s house to see our family from Świnoujście,  but they didn’t know that we’re coming, and we knew, that they are going to leave soon, so my father was riding really fast.

        Suddenly,  we saw the policeman that was giving the signs to my father to stop. When we did so, the policeman of course asked for the documents and said to my father, that he had been speeding for about 80 km per hour, while there is speed limit to 40. And just because my father (like probably every driver) wanted to avoid the mandate, he started to explain: 

“Officer, I’m always an exemplary driver, but there is an unusual situation. It was my father’s funeral yesterday, and my cousins, up from Świnoujście, had arrived there. They are going to leave soon, and we see each other so rarely,  so we wanted to meet them before they’re gone. That’s the reason why you had to stop me.”

        The officer was thinking for a while.

“I see…  From Świnoujście you’re saying?” – asked enigmatically.

“Yes.” – my father confirmed.

“And maybe you’re going to say, your cousin last name is Juszkiewicz?” – the policeman asked.

        My father looked at him suspiciously and said:

“Yes.”

“If so, there’s no need to hurry anymore. They’re gone now. About ten minutes ago they took their own mandate and departed.” – the policeman smiled.

        We were surprised and of course we were laughing out loud of this situation, but the officer didn’t finish yet.

“Somebody’s trying to lie me here.” – he said very seriously.

“Why do you think so?” – now my father was confused.

“Because they said, that they’re harrying FOR the funeral…”

I can’t remember if the officer gave my father a mandate or not, but this situation still gives me the reasons to smile :)
