floating bed

Just looking at this bed makes me drowsy. If the gentle rocking of a boat or a hammock puts you to sleep, then the floating bed is for you. If those same motions make you want to puke, then it wouldn't be your cup of tea. The site also tells us that you won't like it if you "go to bed extremely intoxicated on alcohol." So it's not for fall-down drunks.

But the makers promise that the floating motion will give you the most restful sleep of your life. For someone who suffers with major insomnia, this bed is mighty tempting. I feel the shopping cart itch to click, even if it is a few Gs and the website could use a serious facelift.

water sculpture

Don't groan, because this water sculpture is absolutely maintenance-free. There are no liquids involved. It doesn't claim to hold Zenlike properties or any feng shui power. A modern sculpture by Pennsylvania glassblower Gary Guydosh, it will transform any surface it touches.
