Its getting late here in Paris so lets throw something “lighter” to you mi readerz. Somehow I saw this project floating around the web and started laughing. Lolz.
It was first introduced as part of the Milan Design Week (u know peepol with moleskinz and starbucks everywhere)
To be completely honest I wasn’t that shocked with the actual design result rather the famous “text description” that accompanies any piece of design. Lolz
Le Text :
“From the most primitive needs to the most evolve transformations, plants have always been key element in human development. Oxygen, food, cloth, color, medecine: at the core of civilization remain our relation with vegetales and the tools and crafts which result of it. On a foreign planet plant could witness for us if this land could be a new garden of eden. Therefore one of our luggage must insure the preservation of this precious resource if we want to be sure to make home on another terra.”
…wait i will make it clear for you minions..
Our friend here is saying that probably this guy :
or even better these peepol :
are now CELEBRATING !!
since this innovation (almost discovery I could add here) took place.
One day I had this funny idea, and I thought, “Well, there’s really nothing stopping me…” At first it was just for fun. But then…Then I drew up a sketch. And then another one. I started tinkering around and, to make a long story short, there came a point when I realized that, for the first time in my life, I was going to build something with my own two hands. So, after a couple months of fine-tuning the communication vessels, I became the sole owner in the world of such a strange piece of work:
My piece has buttons working as pumps and has pipes instead of wires. It also has a display like any other electronic panel board, but as opposed to using liquid crystals as in electronic displays, my machine’s display functions via multicoloured syrups.
dont miss the VIDEO >
So, if you’re interested, let me explain this contraption and the mechanism that makes it work. At the top of the machine there is a slot into which a bottle with alcohol, water, or even milk can be screwed. The essence of the art here lies in the ability of the syrups or liqueurs to tint the neutral color of the liquid. In the picture below you can see the connector itself and the regulator (which is actually an IV Rate Flow Regulator I picked up in a drugstore), which opens or closes off the air flow into the bottle and thus acts as an on/off switch. Once it enters the machine, the liquid spreads across the fourteen tubules.
Each tubule is connected to one of the 14 transparent display segments. With the help of special regulators located on the side of the machine, the liquid’s flow speed in each segment can be regulated. Pressing the buttons on the keyboard injects the corresponding ingredients into the display, which tints different segments of the display and thus produces letters. You can try to imagine that each letter can have a taste (L-Lime, A-Apple), a color (R-Red, G-Green), or a name (K-Kahlua, J-Jagermeister).
Now I can literally taste the flavor of my words!
Syringes function as the machine’s buttons. A valve connects to the syringes and turns them into pumps.
In the back of the keyboard, there are slots for the bottles with colored beverages in them. There are 26 total slots, one for each letter of the Latin alphabet. When a syringe stem goes up, liquid is taken from the bottle connected to it.
I should notice this machine is not finished yet. This is not a complete ready-to-use product. This is a prototype, which is not very reliable and fast to (dis)assemble, hard to wash. Just a concept which needs reworking and finetuning.

The guy is looking for (a) sponsor for his next cool machine. If any of you interested give him a shout (link)
We stumbled upon a super cool article by DBSkeptic on how Theists have been doing their best to try and trip atheists with ‘logic’ for a long time! (irony is all over the place already)
Test No.1
The Coca-Cola can and the designer of the banana!
This test simply serves to highlight how ignorant anti-evolutionists are of the theory. It assumes that the only alternative to creationism is a chaotic system of random events and outcomes. This is not evolution. Evolution is the opposite of pure chance.
The tester points out that a Coca-Cola can is perfectly suited for use by human beings.
So clearly, it must have a maker.
In the same way, a banana is perfectly ‘designed’ for human beings, as illustrated by the following points:
1. Its shaped to fit in the human hand!
2. It has a non-slip surface
3. It has a tab for the removal of the wrapper
4. Your girlfriend use it occasionally
5. Its perforated on the wrapper
6. Has a point at top for the ease of mouth entry !!
7. Its pleasing to the taste buds
The test claims that because of its human-specific attributes,
the banana must have a designer.! !
“To say that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to say that no one designed the Coca Cola can.”

Evolution – when defined by the tester as random cause and results – cannot explain this. Properly-defined evolution can. Human beings evolved and learned to use fruits a source of sustenance, while plants evolved to use animals as a medium to spread their seeds.
Plants must send their offspring far away in order to prevent population from building excessively in an area which would result in resource depletion. Plants have different ways of propagating their seeds: daffodils use the wind; coconuts use the ocean. Many fruits – like the apple or the banana – use animal carriers: the animals eat the fruit and spread the seeds (by throwing them away or through their feces). A plant that successfully gets animals to eat its fruit has a better chance of replicating than a plant that produces tasteless, hard-to-eat fruit.
