The Indigestive Plate...
Those of you reading this probably are quite blessed with the ability to have anything to eat you want at any time of day. Unfortunately, there are many people who do not have that privilege.
Designer Rafael Morgan created the following design with those less fortunate in mind. The Indigestive Plate was created with a secret message. The message comes appears when warm or hot food is added to the plate- A secret that gives a real message to those who are eating from the plate.

If Men Ruled The World...
Any fake phone number a girl gave you would automatically forward your call to her real number.
Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed an acceptable response to “I love you.”
Hallmark would make “Sorry, what was your name again?” cards.
When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game, she’d appear in a little box in the corner of the screen during a time-out.
Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack to the ass and a “Nice hustle, you’ll get ‘em next time” would pretty much do it.
Birth control would come in ale or lager.
You’d be expected to fill your resume with gag names of people you’d worked for, like “Heywood J’Blowme.”
Each year, your raise would be pegged to the fortunes of the NFL team of your choice.
The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO.
“Sorry I’m late, but I got really wasted last night” would be an acceptable excuse for tardiness.
Tanks would be far easier to rent.
Garbage would take itself out.
Instead of beer belly, you’d get “beer biceps.”
Instead of an expensive engagement ring, you could present your wife-to-be with a giant foam hand that said, “You’re #1!”
Valentine’s Day would be moved to February 29th so it would only occur in leap years.
“Cops” would be broadcast live, and you could phone in advice to the pursuing cops.(Or to the crooks.)
The only show opposite “Monday Night Football” would be “Monday Night Football From A Different Camera Angle.”
Telephones would automatically cut off after 30 seconds of conversation.

Licence Plate No.1 Wins Record Dh52.2m...
Saeed Al Khouri, 25, a businessman in Abu Dhabi won the bidding for the '1' plate.Abu Dhabi: Licence plate No 1 broke the world record as the most expensive, fetching a whopping Dh52.2 million in fierce bidding in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Saeed Al Khouri, 25, a businessman in Abu Dhabi, won the number plate after a furious contest in the final stages of the auction conducted at the Emirates Palace hotel.
He broke the record by paying more than double the previous record which went to plate No 5 that sold for Dh25.2 million and is owned by his cousin Talal Ali Mohammad Khouri, also a prominent businessman.
The money generated will be used to establish a specialised hospital in Abu Dhabi for accident victims.
Celebrations
Organisers had a tough time controlling the proceedings in the charged atmosphere.
Within minutes after the bidding began the price of the plate shot up to Dh26 million from the opening Dh1 million.
The officials celebrated the record-breaking moment by bursting crackers on the stage as six bidders fought over the rights furiously.
Al Khouri told Gulf News he was determined to purchase the plate at any cost. He said it was for his personal use and he has no intention to sell it. He said he will try again if the organisers introduce No 1 in other series.
Dh89m from 90 number plates
"The final value of the number plate auction exceeded our wildest hopes and dreams," said Abdullah Matar Al Mannaei, Managing Director of Emirates Auction, the official auctioneer for Code 5 distinguished number plate auctions, supported by the General Directorate of Abu Dhabi Police.
"Today we set not just one, but two records," said Al Mannaie, adding that the auction - the sixth organised by Emirates Auction - attracted 750 participants and generated a record Dh89 million from the sale of 90 number plates.
As of Saturday, Emirates Auction holds the record for the seven most expensive plates worldwide, including nine of the top ten. Plate No 1 was only the third single-digit plate to go on sale so far, and by far the most prestigious.
One of the winning bidders was 10-year-old Hazaa Seif Ali Hammadi, who bid Dh2.15 million for Plate No 51 on behalf of his father, Seif Ali Hammadi, an Abu Dhabi businessman.
All six two-digit plates sold for Dh2 million or more.
The excitement was palatable at times: whenever an important plate came to auction, the room turned dark and green lasers flashed. The audience clapped rhythmically to the music, cheered and shouted.
In an effort to outbid one another, bidders often stood up with their paddles raised high above their heads.
Along with No 1, a total of 90 distinguished licence plates were sold, including special numbers such as 96, 100, 212, 1111, 2001 and 31313.
Although minimum bids for No 1 were fixed at Dh100,000, the bidding quickly exceeded Dh40 million which was the estimated price in local circles.
When the bidding for No 1 surpassed Dh47 million, the competition was limited to two people - Saeed Al Khouri and Yousuf Naser, a Dubai businessman.
Ultimately, Saeed Al Khouri triumphed with a bid of Dh52 .2million.

Airplanes can kill you quickly; a woman takes her time.
Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.
Airplanes don't get mad if you 'touch and go.'
Airplanes don't object to a preflight inspection.
Airplanes operate inverted.
Airplanes come with manuals to explain their operation.
Airplanes have strict weight and balance limits.
Airplanes can be flown any time of the month.
Airplanes don't come with in-laws.
Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you
have flown before.
Airplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time.
Airplanes don't complain if you hose them down.
Airplanes don't mind if you like to look at other airplanes.
Airplanes can get high without throwing up.
Airplanes expect to be tied down.
Airplanes don't comment on your piloting skills.
Airplanes don't whine unless something is really wrong.
However, when airplanes go quiet, just like a woman, it's a bad thing.
Just Remember, if its got wings, wheels, or tits it's gonna give you problems!
