QFO - New Flying R/C Toy from Tomy

The Japanese toy manufacturer Tomy has announced its QFO - a small radio-controlled flying toy that was recently displayed at the 2008 Tokyo Toy Show in Japan.

There isn’t much info available about this new little gizmo, but Andrew Liszewski over at the great OhGizmo gadgets and design blog managed to find this video shot by DigInfo, showing the flying R/C “helicopter” in action and giving some info:

Four types of Tomy QFO R/C toys are scheduled to be released at the end of September. There is no word on pricing yet.

Condom Dispenser

Here’s something unnecessary at our bed side but for some people it is necessary, I’m talking about the Condom Dispenser. It measures 9″ H x 3.5″ W x 4″ D, made of aluminum and plastic, and can hold up to 24 pack of condoms. 28 bucks to get one.

Btw, have you guys downloaded the condom ringtone?

A Solar Powered Car caught by Police, thinking that its a UFO

Marcelo da Luz has been driving his solar powered car across countries for past two years. When arrived to Alaska, somebody dialed 911 reporting for UFO sighting. Alaskan police came and pulled Marcelo for interrogation.

He was not taken to a secret bunker for experimentation as the police did not take the matter any further.

To my surprise, this is the seventh times that this saucer-shaped solar-powered vehicle has been pulled over for the same case, UFO sighting.
