Weird Gadgets from the 1920's

TOE SOCKS

These pre-shrunk 'To Sox' were designed to act as toe protectors. Produced during World War II, it was claimed that they could reduce hosiery costs by up to 80 per cent. They were designed to be worn over the big toes, to protect socks from wear.

LIGHT SPECTACLES

Invented in the U.S. in the 1930s, these specs were adorned with two small, battery-powered lights, with a long wire trailing beneath. The experience was marred only by the likelihood of electrocution when it rained.

MOUSTACHE PROTECTOR

designed with a hole for the mustachioed man to sip through.

FINGER STRETCHER FOR PIANISTS

Developed in America in 1910 to help pianists hit the sprawling notes demanded by the likes of Stravinsky and Debussy. Careful use was required: it is thought the composer Schumann destroyed his hands using an early version.

Singing, Pooping Tigers Teach Japan's Youth

There are some things about Japan that just don't translate: capsule hotels, Pepsi Ice Cucumber and sadistic game shows, to name a few.

Now we can add the following video designed to help Japanese kids learn to use the toilet. It's not that I object to anthropomorphic jungle cats instructing big boys and girls to dump out, it's the oddly communal, musical way they do it.

Honestly, if I had just managed not to wet myself for the first time, the last thing I'd want is a big show-stopping, Patti LuPone number with my parents flanking either side of me, capped by a confetti flourish.

is it really necessary to have both the cartoon baby tiger and a real Japanese boy (at the cartoon's end) grunting and straining in an effort to pinch a loaf?

Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii

A New Zealand judge has made a 9-year-old girl a ward of the court so that her name can be changed from Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii

Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt listed a series of unusual names that New Zealand parents had given their children, and said he was concerned that such strange monikers would create hurdles for them as they grew up.

"It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap," the New Zealand Press Association quoted the judge as saying.

Among the names Murfitt cited: twins named Benson and Hedges -- after a brand of cigarettes; Violence; and Number 16 Bus Shelter.

The Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages said in a statement that it had rejected names including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, Twisty Poi -- a staple food in Polynesian cuisine -- and Sex Fruit.

The Wilhelm Scream

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

The Wilhelm scream is a near famous stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the film Distant Drums

The Wilhelm's revival came from Star Wars series sound designer Ben Burtt, who tracked down the original recording (which he found as a studio reel labeled "Man being eaten by alligator"). Although Distant Drums was the first known use of the sound, Burtt named it after "Pvt. Wilhelm", a minor character who emitted the same scream in the 1953 film The Charge at Feather River.

Since then, it's been used in over 130 movies; Spielberg and Lucas use it an awful lot (and are responsible for the popularization of the kinda-cheesey scream).

Here's a compilation of many (but not nearly all) of its uses:

Piggy Boots

You can't get much happier than a pig in muck, or so we are told.

But when this little piggy arrived in the farmyard she showed a marked reluctance to get her trotters dirty.

While her six brothers and sisters messed around in the mire, she stayed on the edge shaking. It is thought she might have mysophobia - a fear of dirt.

Owners Debbie and Andrew Keeble were at a loss, until they remembered the four miniature wellies used as pen and pencil holders in their office. They slipped them on the piglet's feet - and into the mud she happily ploughed.

Now she runs over to Mr Keeble so he can put them on for her in the morning.

The couple, who run the award-winning Debbie and Andrew's sausage company in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, named the young saddleback Cinders after Cinderella and her magical glass slippers.

Fortunately for five-week-old Cinders, she will not end up in one of their sausages. Although they were pig farmers for 20 years, the Keebles keep them only as pets nowadays.

Swan Family Promenade

Any parent keeps a close eye on their brood when they're out and about next to busy roads.

Especially when the youngsters in question are only a month old and are covered in fluffy feathers.

This family of swans turned heads as they waddled through the Cornish resort of Perranporth on a 500-yard trek from the beach to their home on a boating lake.

The cob and pen safely guided the eight cygnets along the pavements - but their parenting skills seemed to desert them at a zebra crossing as they marched the chicks up the middle of the road.

Dave Quinell, who took these pictures, said: 'When I saw them they were lined up outside the fish and chip shop looking into the window. Seeing them on the high street was surreal.'

Retired RSPCA warden Rex Harper, 71, says he knows the family of swans well and suggested they learnt road safety by watching shoppers.

He said: 'The female knows the area pretty well so they may well have seen other people going over the crossing and picked it up.
