Look, if you want to get to work faster, you should drive a car. I know you ride your bike to help save the environment and exercise and all those noble reasons, but let’s be honest: adding jet propulsion to your bicycle kind of defeats both of those purposes.

And really, this bike, which has a WWII-era buzzjet attached, has a better probability of ending your commute with you as a fine paste on a brick wall than a few minutes early to work. But hey, you know, if you’re the adventurous type and you love WWII relics, I guess this is as good a combo as any to suit your needs.

The Wii’s all-white, but it’s hardly a raunchy unit. So, if you’ve been looking for ways to sex-up your console, then how about a private pole dance?

US manufacturer Peekaboo, which already sells a pole-dancing kit endorsed by Carmen Electra, is currently inking plans to teach millions of gamers how to pole dance in their living rooms with a Wii videogame.

Although nothing’s finalised yet, the pack could include an extendable pole – fnarr, fnarr – and a videogame that would teach gamers all they need to know about sliding up and down, spin around andy dangle provocatively.

Apparently, Peekaboo thinks the as-yet-untitled game will be in a similar league to the Guitar Hero series, which lets gamers rock out to classic hits with a guitar-style accessory.

A spokesman for the company has already claimed that the game will help people tone-up, burn calories and, most importantly, improve their pole dancing skills. However, he clearly hasn’t considered other markets yet, such as the game’s ability to train future firefighters.

Register Hardware eagerly awaits more news about the videogame, but we are hoping the title doesn’t come with a hidden table fee.

This Teuco Sorgente bathtub is pure class, but you’ll essentially need to build your bathroom around the thing to get the desired effects from it. That’s because it sits flush with the floor, meaning you need to dig down below to install it. But once you do, hot damn do you have a sexy bathtub on your hands.

Sitting flush with the floor, the water flows right to the brim, making it look like a pond sitting in the floor of your bathtub. Once you get in, 8 hydrosilent jets take action. Did I mention how slick it looks? I want one.
