Happy Towel Day!


Ein Handtuch ist so ungefähr das Nützlichste, was der interstellare Anhalter besitzen kann. Einmal ist es von großem praktischem Wert – man kann sich zum Wärmen darin einwickeln, wenn man über die kalten Monde von Jaglan Beta hüpft; man kann an den leuchtenden Marmorsandstränden von Santraginus V darauf liegen, wenn man die berauschenden Dämpfe des Meeres einatmet; man kann unter den so rot glühenden Sternen in den Wüsten von Kakrafoon darunter schlafen; man kann es als Segel an einem Minifloß verwenden, wenn man den trägen, bedächtig strömenden Moth-Fluss hinuntersegelt, und nass ist es eine ausgezeichnete Nahkampfwaffe; man kann es sich vors Gesicht binden, um sich gegen schädliche Gase zu schützen oder dem Blick des Gefräßigen Plapperkäfers von Traal zu entgehen (ein zum Verrücktwerden dämliches Vieh, es nimmt an, wenn du es nicht siehst, kann es dich auch nicht sehen – bescheuert wie eine Bürste, aber sehr, sehr gefräßig); bei Gefahr kann man sein Handtuch als Notsignal schwenken und sich natürlich damit abtrocknen, wenn es dann noch sauber genug ist.

Rabbits Gone Wild


The European rabbit, the source species for every pet rabbit variety, was introduced long ago to places as far afield as Australia and North America. While cute and cuddly, the little lagomorphs breed, well, like rabbits. There’s no doubt of the species’ proliferative potential around the campus of the University of Victoria, which has become overrun with bunnies. Hundreds of visitors convening there over the weekend to discuss literature and nature were bemused by the flocks of cottontails nibbling grass as students and campus workers passed without a second glance.

Pee Without Noise Stool


We've all been there: it's 2 a.m. in a sleeping house and your mother-in-law is right behind you in line for the potty, or you don't want to broadcast the fact that you downed six glasses of beer over the course of your date.

As great as it is to be able to pee standing up, there are some situations where you just want to do your business discreetly, and having the outlet several feet above the bowl makes it hard to keep the volume down.
