A Japanese company has invented, possibly, the cleverest office gadget of the year: a machine that turns waste paper into lavatory paper.
Instead of sending shredded documents to a recycling centre, incurring expense and energy, office managers will soon be able to feed them into a machine and turn them into lavatory paper.
Pop in 40 sheets of regular A4 paper, and a half-hour later, the paper has been shredded, mixed with water, turned into a pulp, flattened, dried and converted into a roll of lavatory paper.
Tattoo of Love & Trains
An Australian man has had a train company logo tattooed on his back - so his parents can get free rail travel around Europe.
Grant Burton had wanted to get his parents something special for their 40th wedding anniversary, but being unemployed he didn't have much spare cash.
Knowing his parents always wanted to go to Europe, Grant contacted train firm EuRail and asked them if they would give him two passes if he did something crazy to promote their brand.
He offered to have their logo and website permanently tattooed on his back and amazingly they said yes!
Parents - what if your kids did this for you?

They have one dream in common: to learn how to make the world's best ice cream in the institute's high-tech laboratories and then use their new-found expertise to open gelaterie back home.
As well as learning how to concoct familiar flavours such as chocolate and vanilla, students experiment with more outlandish tastes, including gelato made from red wine, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and basil.
In China, they have even experimented with fish-flavoured gelato!Pear with Parmesan and lemon with basil are some of the more unusual ones students have come up with.
