Remote pet-care gadget.
If your cat gets lonely while
you’re dispensing, a US inventor
may have the gadget for you,
that remotely plays with your cat
while you’re away.
Hoping to raise US$30,000
to launch his ‘kittyo’ device,
Orange News reported that Lee
Miller was pledged more than
US$150,000 within three days.
Kittyo can talk to the pet as
you talk into your iOS or Android
device and even dispense the
occasional treat, the publication
reported.
Careful what you eat.
We all know pharmacists can
study nuclear pharmacy - not
so run-of-the-mill is getting
radioactive therapy at your local
supermarket.
UK authorities have reported
more than 2,000 cases of
imported foods that posed a
“serious risk to human health,”
including radioactive mushrooms,
the Telegraph reported.
Other worrying foods include
poisonous swordfish steaks and
energy drinks laced with arsenic,
with the UK coming in second
only to Italy as a top venue for
dodgy imports, according to the
volume of warnings via the Rapid
Alert System for Food and Feed,
the publication reported.
The reported alerts are pretty
disgusting - from mangos with
high lead levels, to rice infested
with “saw-toothed grain weevils”
to...well, let’s just say the faint of
heart shouldn’t CLICK HERE for
more extreme examples.
Lucky for some.
Apparently, the world could see
its first trillionaire within 25 years,
and no surprises, Bill Gates is
expected to take the crown.
This is according to the
Telegraph, while Credit Suisse
believes there will be 11 within
two generations.
It’s all very well having billions
but they all have to come in for
Imodium, same as anyone.
