VW's Double Back : A Compressed RV



It was over thirty years ago that Volkswagen first started offering "pop tops" on its camper vans. In the years since, the soft-sided interior height-extenders have become a common sight on VW vans parked in campgrounds all over the world. Now, Welsh company Overlander Motorhomes is offering what it sees as the logical compliment to the pop top - it's the DoubleBack, a sliding insulated pod that extends the interior length of Volkwagen's T5 Transporter van.

Gold Shirt wort 1 crore 27 lakhs




It is often said that money can't buy love.
But trying telling that to a wealthy Indian man who splashed out 1 crore+ on a solid gold shirt in the hope it will attract female attention. 
Datta Phuge 32, from Pimpri-Chinchwad (Pune), commissioned the shirt which took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold threads.

Cinema NINJA : Hilarious concept


The Prince Charles Cinema, in London's West End, has come up with a unique solution to the problem of patrons using their cell phones, throwing popcorn, or having conversations during a movie: NINJA.

The Cinema has teamed up with Morphsuits, a Scottish company that produces skin-tight, head-to-toe zentail suits, to create their own volunteer movie theater "ninja task force." 

These 'theater ninjas' aren't actually trained in the dark arts of Ninjutsu - they're simply film lovers who provide their services in exchange for free admission to films.
