Intelligently Smart Coffee Lid

As a self professed coffee addict who have my lips and tongue scalded once too many time, I was glad to come across an Australian made product that is really revolutionary in my view. Just imagine this product can help me (and I believe many others) from saying “OUCH” (due to scalded lips and/or tongues) to “WOW”!

You may also have the potential to be a distributor for this product (if you are in the trading business) or use it in your business (especially if you run a catering or food business). So what is this revolutionary product that I am referring to? Well, it’s a lid, but it is an intelligently smart coffee lid that will let me know if the coffee is too hot, and the following picture will indeed paint a thousand words…

The world’s strangest laws?

A good friend just informed me about some strange laws in Australia (Victoria, to be specific) which he read on The Daily Telegraph (dated 17th August 2007 12:00am). The first is that “In Victoria Australia, only a licensed electrician is allowed to change a lightbulb” and the second is that “In Victoria Australia it is forbidden to wear pink hot pants after mid-day on a Sunday”. Out of curiosity, I have searched through all references to bills introduced into the Australian Parliament along with its transcripts arising from the hearings of committees when they are considering legislation and the Budget Papers. The conclusion is that both the laws above are not true. It will be interesting if there is a different finding from someone else on the subject.
