I came across this on the popular list of del.icio.us. Don’t know how to get it from the U.S. though. It’s from nobody&co, an Italian company.

Isn’t it exciting [and overwhelming] to sit on it?

I did find it in the U.S. later. Urbanoutfitters had it for sale. Unfortunately, it did not look as good as in the picture. Its craft quality does not match the price tag.

Via Kottke,

Bread is dangerous. Here are some frightening stats: “More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread” and “Bread is made from a substance called ‘dough.’ It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!”

Hey, guess what? Now you can have your own barcode to identify yourself! The code generated will indicate your sex, age, location, height, and weight. So just go get your own barcode and show it around to your friends!

This is my barcode. What information can you tell from it?
