"Everybody needs love," says designer Si Chan of his bizarre puffy coat with an odd feature.
Sweet or sinister?
Here is the perfect parka for the long, dark, and lonely days of winter.
"Everybody needs love, don't they?" asks emerging menswear designer Si Chan on his blog.
Chan says he designed his eccentric kelly green puffer jacket, which features a row of clasped hands running up the front, to make the wearer feel "warm and hugged."
While Chan, who recently graduated with top honors from London's College of Fashion, purposely exaggerated the padding to resemble a kid's stuffed toy in order to emphasize the warm and fuzzy vibe of the jacket.
Chan explains that hugging hands are a symbol of what makes it possible for humans to "express love" and "depart from loneliness" and he insists his vision is sweet, not sinister.
The "Hug Me Jacket" is a prototype but the designer tells Yahoo! Shine he would like to produce it for sale online this winter. The cost would be about £800.
----------- 原稿 -------------- Video Shows Simple Egg-separating Trick Using a Water Bottle
Here's an eggs-cellent idea: A video from the Chinese site jifenzhong.com gives an easy how-to for separating a yolk from an egg.
Mandarin knowledge not required: Just watch and learn.
All that's needed: Two bowls, an egg, and an empty plastic water bottle.
Crack the raw egg into one bowl, then the egg whisperer takes the plastic bottle and squeezes it, which gently sucks in the yolk.
The yolk can then be squeezed out, unharmed, on to the second bowl. Simple. And simply amazing.
This low-tech solution to egg separation has wowed on the Web -- the video, uploaded to YouTube last month, snared the attention of multiple news outlets and blogs this week and has been viewed over 5 million times.
Well, well: Surprising find under living room Medieval well discovered beneath couple’s living room
Nearly 25 years after they moved into their home, an English couple has discovered a 33-foot-deep medieval well beneath their living room floor.
"I was replacing the joists in the floor when I noticed a slight depression—it appeared to be filled in with the foundations of the house," Colin Steer told the London Telegraph.
The discovery has led Sheer to explore the history of his property, located in the city of Plymouth, near the south coast of Devon, England.
After receiving permission from his wife, Steer dug some 17 feet down into the well, which plans show dates to the 16 century.
"I dug down about one foot but my wife just wanted to me to cover it back up because we had three children running around at the time," he said.
"I always wanted to dig it out to see if I could find a pot of gold at the bottom, so when I retired at the end of last year that's what I started to do."
Steer is seeking help from experts to determine exactly how old the well is.
In the meantime, he has installed lights along its shaft and covered up the opening with a trap door.
At one point during his excavation efforts, Steer and a friend found a sword.
"It was hidden at a 45 degree angle and sort of just fell out.
It looks like an old peasant's fighting weapon because it appears to be made up of bits of metal all knocked together," he said.
It seems the only person unimpressed with the historical discovery is Steer's wife.
"I hate the well," Vanessa Steer told the Telegraph.
"But I suppose it is quite a feature.
When we come to sell the house I just hope it's not a white elephant in the room."
