Cheat's ChopsticksFebruary 11, 2010
This Sunday is Chinese New Year 2010, so perhaps Valentine’s Day ought to be celebrated down your local Chinese restaurant. For those of us that struggle picking up egg fried rice with a pair of chopsticks, this inventor has the solution. Look as though you are using chopsticks, then shovel it up with a fork – revolutionary! You could always ‘Use the Force’ and get yourself some lightsaber chopsticks. Yoda would be proud!

So it really is pink for girls and blue for boys with this inventor. He has devised a way of knowing the sex of the driver in front of you, through the colour of their registration plate. Apparently, knowing that the car in front is being driven by a woman, would help us to alter our behaviour accordingly, and predict the movement of their vehicle. As a result there would be a “dramatic and permanent reduction in the incidence of road traffic accidents.” Why not go the whole hog and stick a pink flashing light on the roof too?
