Footprints in the sand

According to MyFootprint I’m using up the following portions of the earth:

Category Global Hectares
Food 1.6
Mobility 0.4
Shelter 1
Goods/Services 0.8
Total Footprint 3.8

In comparison, the average ecological footprint in your country is 5.3 global hectares per person.

Worldwide, there exist 1.8 biologically productive global hectares per person.

If everyone lived like you, we would need 2.1 planets.

Holy caped crusaders, Batman!

Race is on to unmask Reading’s very own Batman and Robin

Sarabian?

How to total a new car

Hit it with a toothpick.

Apparently, if you crash a BMW just enough to trigger the airbags, you can total it, because replacing each airbags costs in excess of $1000 each.

Bananaguard

“Are you fed up with bringing bananas to work or school only to find them bruised and squashed? Our unique, patented device allows for the safe transport and storage of individual bananas letting you enjoy perfect bananas anytime, anywhere.”

BananaGuard. It’s an armoured vest for soft fruit.

Ping-o-Matic

Ping-o-Matic because doing it automatically is too much like no work.

Khaaan

I don’t get it

I had to pretend to be part of the Armed Forces in Europe in order to almost buy a BananaGuard. I want one! But not that badly.

I vaguely remember this story from last year. A slow news day, I should imagine.
