Trash-Powered Cleaning Robot Will Eat The Trash & Dirt In Your House

Many times I've imagined what it would be like to have a cleaning robot roam around my house all day, keeping it sparkly clean.

I have tremendous respect for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who devote their lives to helping others.

It's probably not the healthiest way to live, but ...

Do you carry hand sanitizer around with you and use it like it's your lifesaver? Do you wash your hands at least once each hour? Do you dread touching door knobs and faucets in public bathrooms?

Dirty or Delicious: The 5-Second-Rule Investigated

If you have kids, you are probably familiar with the 5-second-rule. It's a rule that claims that if you drop food on the floor, but pick it up within 5 seconds, it's still safe and clean to eat. My 10 year old son lives by the 5-second-rule. If he didn't, he wouldn't eat much since he drops food ...

The USB Curse Cup – You Say It, You Pay It

I don't want to brag or come across as a prude, but I have never been much of a swearer really. Not that I don't curse at all, of course I do. However, there are far better words to express the nature of the situation when needed, in my opinion. Some people have made it a habit to curse, and it c ...
