A man is selling everything he owns on eBay, and selflessly giving a large chunk of the money to charity. The largest item in the auction is his sports car, virtually unique and customised. The current highest bid is just over 8000 dollars. He has currently packaged over 400 of his possesions, and says he is not a very materialistic person! [Link]

I saw this and the first person I thought of was my dad, whenever we are on holiday and he wants a cold beer by the pool, hard to get in 30 degree sun. This self chilling beer could help, I think its based on the same idea as the self heating drinks released sometime before this. [Link]
