There's a Miniature Ocean Trapped Inside This Kitchen Island
by Andrew Liszewski
Forget about wasting all that valuable space underneath a kitchen island by filling it with pots, pans, and other bakeware. Designer Robert Kolenik has a much better idea: turn it into a gigantic saltwater aquarium that seemingly doubles as the perfect place to toss food scraps.

This Slim Engagement Ring Case Slips Right Into Your Back Pocket
by Jordan Kushins
There are an infinite number of ways to do a marriage proposal. Regardless of what comes before, many of them climax in the big reveal of a fancy ring in a bulbous velvet box that, while traditionally classy, isn't exactly discrete. Packaging designer Andrew Zo streamlined that somewhat clunky exterior into Clifton, a clever, leather-bound pop up the size of a credit card.

A Slim, Environmentally Responsible, Reusable Water Bottle
by Caroline Williamson
Do you ever wonder why almost all disposable and reusable water bottles are round? I’ve always disliked that because they’re big and bulky and take up so much room in my bag. As people are moving away from the disposable, single use bottles, reusable ones are popping up more and more and everyone is trying to get ahead of the market. This one, actually made me pause and dig in to find out all about it. What is it? It’s memobottle, a slimline, BPA free, dishwasher-friendly, reusable bottle that resembles the size and shape of pieces of paper.
memobottle comes in Letter, A4, and A5 sizes making them easy to slip into your computer bag or backpack right next to your computer or books. You have all the benefits of carrying around a bottle of water all day without the awkward bulk in your bag since it’s flat like everything else. It’s pretty genius!

Some Cops Understand What It's Like to Be Blackout Drunk
Via Elite Daily:
A lot of people would be excited to discover they managed to get someone's number in the blackout state, but that doesn't apply when the number is from a "nice ploice man."
You normally don't want to wake up with a hangover and a message from the police, but this guy should be grateful things didn't turn out worse.

Someone Boiled Their GoPro To Film an Egg Being Poached
by Kate Knibbs
People use GoPros to film all sorts of stuff, from swimming manta rays to swimming races off Alcatraz . You could watch footage of people doing extreme water-based activities captured via GoPro every day for the rest of your life, and there would still be so much GoPro footage of people doing extreme water-based activities left unviewed in the world.
