News of the weird - Google vanity ring

As we all know, size does matter. And for ladies' engagement rings, there is no exception. Now there's a new ring with a slightly different twist. Instead of carat counting and double takes at rock size, this ring proudly (or not) displays the wearer's personal Google view count. No, we are not making this up. We only wish we were making this up.

The Vanity Ring, as it is so aptly called, displays the number of Google hits the wearer's name gets on a Google search. Unlike other rings weighted down by their own carats, facets and size, the Vanity Ring, when put in its docking station, actually refreshes and gets updated. So the number of hits you have today, doesn't necessarily mean you'll still be a loser tomorrow. Your hits could still explode to Master of the Universe status.

At least with the Vanity Ring, there is no 10 year, 20 year, new baby, more status, newly divorced, reasons to upgrade. It's a self-upgrading device. Isn't that reassuring? And, if it looks like you're on a downward spiral to oblivion, you might want to keep your count right where it is and not dock nightly. Just a thought.

The ring is a project Markus Kison, who by the way, is looking for a company to produce it.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
