What's a 'degradeable poo bag'? Do they mean like bio-degradeable? If not, do they mean you can say mean things to the poo bag? What must one do to degrade the poo bag? I mean, you're pretty much at the bottom anyway, if you're the poo bag. :confused:

This is much more portable.

Poor little Winnie the Poo Bag.

Oh, bother! :poohsmilie:

The Vortex Tunnel.

Who knew.

This is possibly the coolest thing in the whole world.

I went to a Haunted House last night (Old Bloodworth Manor).

After some twisty maze stuff, and a mad scientist, I was ushered into this area by either a small child or a dwarf. I'm not sure which.

And then ... wow. Just wow.

It was like being in that episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, the one with Andre the Giant as Bigfoot.

After going through the haunt once, I was able to go back and play with the tunnel. A lot. Like for twenty minutes, playing with the visual/spatial effects. Leaning toward the direction of rotation is more disorienting than away from it, and if you pick a fixed point straight ahead of you, the sensation of movement is even more disorienting.

I have great kinesthetic sense, and was unable to walk a straight line through it.

WOW...They get expensive as all hell if'n you want wheels...I mean $7-8,000 is plenty, but, $24,000 for rims?

Very cool though.

My friends are REALLY into the haunted house thing. They can also take the Vortex Tunnel to events and set it up without the haunted house parts. I don't know if they'll actually end up doing that, though.

The video on that site really doesn't do the experience justice.

My friend went through it with her macaw.

The bird was screaming the whole time ... "Ohmigod, ohmigod,ohmigod ... Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!"

Why have an expensive toy and an expensive pet if you can't mess with them ...

Exactly what I say about my kids.

:D

This one, less so.

ps, bring money. if you have any left over, you can wipe with it. if you can afford this toilet, you probably do so already .

Even more so, the Siberian port-a-potty, two sturdy sticks: one to hold on to, the second to fend off the wolves.

Those are donated and distributed as part of disaster-relief aid.

I see hijinks galore when a remote control bidet comes into the equation.:eek:

Interesting product. Here's the first one I ever saw. It was on the ground in Bay St. Louis Mississippi. I took the picture in October of 2005, on a trip I took there after Hurricane Katrina.

I've never seen them in person, only featured in an episode of Popular Mechanics for Kids (Elisha Cuthbert's secret child acting past!) from about 1992 or so.
