A BIKE lock that will cause anyone who tampers with it to vomit, is being heralded as the latest and greatest way to stop thieves.
The SkunkLock is pressurised with "a noxious chemical deterrent" so disgusting that it "induces vomiting in the majority of cases, and elicits an instinctive response to run away immediately".
The team behind the lock is seeking funding for the project via crowdsourcing site indiegogo.com, with anyone who pledges US$109 to receive their own lock in 2017.
So far the company has raised US$29,653 smashing their original US$20,000 target.
Bike thieves will be spewing over this invention.
A CLEANUP campaign in Eastern China offering a free pack of tissues for every 50 cigarette butts collected has backfired.
It turned out the people of Shengzhou, Zhejiang Province must really love free tissues because authorities were flooded with 5 million cigarette butts in just three weeks, seeing them have to hand out 100,000 packets of tissues.

The campaign was aborted with the government realising their vision had gone pear-shaped.
