Transparent Korean Life Jacket for Nudists
A Korean company has manufactured a transparent lifejacket dubbed the “Zak Nudevest” that ensures both buoyancy and exposure for the discerning naked consumer.
Not as good as the orange equivalent for distance visibility, but I guess there’s no substitute for getting that male (or female) life guard’s attention.
Available for around $15.

Creepy East-Asian Girl Eyes Up Your Cursor
I’ve seen this idea of making someone’s eyes follow your cursor around the screen, but this one has been done quite well, adding subtle facial expressions (very Japanese I thought) and head movement. Check it out, its pretty amazing!
You can see how something like this is used on the Motion Portrait website to attempt a more human welcome for visitors (and their cursors).

Fish Tank Car in Bangkok
How’s this for an eye catcher - wander past this car at the Siam Ocean World in the Siam Paragon shopping center in Bangkok and all you’ll see inside are fish.
Yep - this car has been modified to be watertight, where apparently, the car doors are also welded shut - that’ll will stop the smart asses!
