Ant World Cup
Here you see the first World Cup played completely by ants. Japan versus Brazil.
The Camponotus obscuripes ants, known as Muneaka-oari in Japanese, measured between 7 and 12 mm long. They played using a 1 cm ball on a pitch 20 by 30 cm.
In the wild, the ants recognize enemies by their pheromones. The organizers of the game used this natural ability to make the ants “ant-agonize” each other, by feeding the Japanese team with Kagoshima pork and the Brazilian team with spare ribs in order to alter the ants’ pheromones
Unfortunately, the game ended in an anticlimax, with a draw. 🙁

The itbed – Cardboard foldaway
The itbed, is a clever fold up bed made from cardboard. The ultimate in compactability and functionality, the itbed is made from 7 mm thick cardboard that is folded like an accordion. It can be assembled in one simple step and when it’s collapsed the itbed takes up minimal storage space.
With itbed overnight guests will no longer have to sleep on the floor or sofa. 😉

The paper iPod
I can afford an iPod right now, so I just plan to made my own origami paper iPod. I think this one it looks pretty real.
Have a look at the do-it-yourself, paper iPod here. Won’t your friends be jealous?
