Members Lucky Posted June 4, 2011 Members Posted June 4, 2011 From today's mydesert.com: Kohler's new Numi toilet, a marvel of both engineering and conspicuous consumption — or in this case, conspicuous elimination. This is no mere utilitarian commode. This is voidance elevated to art. It warms you. It cleanses you. It plays music for you, because from what I gather from the promotional materials, you're going to want to settle in and stay awhile. Just working through the remote-control options ought to take you through about half of “Dark Side of the Moon.” And it can be yours for just $6,390. The Numi doesn't even look like a toilet. It has a squarish, sophisticated shape (check it out at http://www.kohler.com/numi). It's what the Numi does, however, that really commanded my attention. It senses your presence and opens the lid so you're good to go, so to speak. It warms the seat to the temperature you choose. Its built-in, retractable bidet wand (doesn't that sound magical?) sprays you clean with your choice of pulsating, oscillating or wave actions. Zippo has flexible neck Light your fire more easily with Zippo's new Flexible Neck Utility Lighter. The lighter has a flexible, extended neck with a slim nozzle that fits into the openings on most grills and lanterns. The company says the lighter's dual flames burn hotter and stronger, so they start a fire faster and stay lighted even when it's windy. Other features include a fuel-level indicator, an adjustable flame and a child-resistant safety button. The lighter comes in a satin silver or rubberized flat black finish. It can be ordered for $19.95 plus shipping at http://www.zippo.com. (Look in the Products section, under the Outdoor Line.) (A writer actually took a credit for this story!) Quote

Members RA1 Posted June 4, 2011 Members Posted June 4, 2011 Is the toilet made by the same folks who brought the $500 hammer to the US military? Do you have to have a child show you how to use the Zippo lighter? Usually, child-proof or in the new lexicon, child resistant items can only be worked successfully BY a child.
