Weird & Wonderful: Crayola rocket launch
Perhaps Ad agency Fallon missed a trick when they were promoting the Sony Bravia. Thousands of coloured bouncing balls? Great. Exploding paint in a Glagsow high-rise? Pretty cool. But did they think of rockets disguised as Crayons? John Coker did. Don’t ask me why.

Weird & Wonderful: The Lego pistol
For regular readers of Chad’s Eye View, you’ll have noticed anything Lego tends to get my attention. So when I saw this Lego replica 1858 Remington .45 gun, made by self-confessed ‘Lego geek’ Arkov, I was rather excited. Of course, one should point out – guns are bad. Except this one.

Weird & Wonderful: The R2-D2 beer keg
Like beer? Check. Like Star Wars. Check. Need I say more? Except, perhaps, that this has to be the best piece of targeted advertising never released.

Weird & Wonderful: Nude furniture
Sculptor Peter Rolfe has created a rather unusual line of furniture. Whilst his technical skill is impressive, it’s his sense of humour I’m drawn to. Obviously, he believes there’s no better place to keep something safe than in a woman’s drawers.

Weird & Wonderful: Apple shot glasses fresh for Halloween
When it comes to Halloween parties, I’m afraid I’m too old to go ‘dooking’ for apples. However, that’s not to say the humble apple needs to take a back seat at your party. Why not try making them into shot glasses. You know what they say, “an apple a day…

Weird & Wonderful: Presenting the home barber’s chair
For the gentleman who has everything. Except, perhaps, a well-groomed barnet. The Collins Commander Barber Chair offers you the chance to relax in style, as your personal barber (more likely your wife, or worse still, mum) lathers shaving foam across your unkempt face and snips away at your ungainly locks – and all in the [...]
