wow, some of these are really interesting stuff!
the hamburger bed looks cool and fun to play with. but i wouldn’t really want it as my real bed. i prefer something more girly, or with more girly colours in my room. i’d say the burger bed is best as a sofa-bed in the living room!
the toilet bowl scale is cool too. but people who would use it seriously is probably too self-conscious. it’s unbelievable that your poo would make a big difference in your weight.
i was eager to read the coffee article, since i’ve been drinking quite a lot of it for the past month. i can’t help it though…i’m in university now, and there are just too many food and drink temptations in the school area. but surely, there are way more coffee addicts out there who are crazier than me. i only thought that coffee making you see ghosts and hear voices is scary. i’m a person who always imagine things…but they just happen in my mind, i’ve never heard voices before…
the live super mario video is amazing! i’m so impressed of the performers’ unity.
lastly, i want to say that those thai elephants are so adorable. i’ve ridden on one before. but that painting…such a notable talent they have!
