Solar Tent. Filthy Rich Dream Wish List. One day if when I have entirely way too much money, after many generous donations to needy animals, here are some of the things I shall splurge on… Lazy river inside the house? Um, absolutely. Source My own island yacht? But, of course. Source This bunk bed to have the top as a reading nook! Source This shower for sure.

Source Slides as a means of transportation throughout the house, to go down at least… Source And amazing staircases to go back up! Source Our bedroom, which will be attached to the lazy river, naturally. Source In our backyard we shall have this gazebo-ish area… And, of course, everyone needs a vacation home… Source I think I am being quite practical, don’t you? Cards Against Humanity. Compounded. Outlet Safe. QR Code Luggage Lable. Water Faucet. Salt Stand. A Dream Treehouse. I've always wanted a treehouse when I was a child but living in a city made it a little difficult.

Instead, we would built forts, tents or just crawl under the bed to play. It's weird right now but back then we really loved having those hideouts where nobody could find us. We could stay there for as long as we wanted. Telling horror stories and feeling like these were the safest places to be. But what happens if you're an adult and still dream of a treehouse? Living among nature has always been such a wonderful thing to me. I did a little web research for treehouses all over the world and oh my what I found. Safe Arbor in Switzerland. Trillium. The enchanted forest.

A modern, pitched roof treehouse. A treehouse morning. A dream treehouse. Those are just a few of many treehouses. Invisible Book Shelf. Classical Klein Bottle. Here's what Felix Klein had in mind back in 1882, when he first dreamed of a closed, one-sided surface. It's elegantly curved, with a side loop making a transverse puncture at the nexus. An Acme Classical Klein Bottle is big enough to show to a classroom, yet slides easily into your backpack for trips across the Yukon. With its center of gravity directly over its base, your Acme Classical Klein Bottle stands on its own -- no need for extraneous stands, complex levitation apparatus, or unreliable anti-gravity fields.

Indeed, in the absence of external forces, its polhode rolls without slipping on the herpolhode lying in the invariable plane. Unlike those inferior 4-dimensional Klein Bottles, you can fill your ACME Klein Bottle with water! This timeless exemplar of topological genius and glass blowing artistry costs only $57 - only slightly more than the value of Lehman Brothers Bank! Because these are handmade, no two glass Klein Bottles are identical. Ice Cream Maker. Portal Bookends. Bill Stamp. Ecosphere. Floating - Lamps.
