Crazy Tech Countdown: coolest swimming pool ever and a scooter on steroids
Welcome to this week’s Crazy Tech News Countdown, where we count down the week’s funniest and weirdest stories. Without further ado, let’s count them down.
5. Will your next watch be biodegradable? – Reuse this, recycle that, but in the end much of what we rely on daily basis. Thankfully this Geneva-based company has come up with biodegradable paper watches. And even though they pose no harm to the environment whatsoever, they’re still waterproof and tear resistant. Grab one in your favorite color for €24 (that’s around $33.50) and never wear a regular watch again.

Therefore, it’s not surprising other interesting uses for this drug are starting to creep in. This Colorado-based company has come up with sodas that despite coming in multiple flavors, they all have a hint of weed. So if you don’t want to ruin your lungs, this might be an option for you. But of course you’d never smoke weed, would you? *cough*
3. It’s a desk… and a treadmill – Who said you couldn’t exercise while you work. This desk mod proves you can run and do your work at the same time, theoretically anyway:
2. A scooter on steroids (submitted by Lyserg Zeroz on SPOM) – This British plumber is on the brink of breaking a Guinness World Record. By retrofitting a motorcycle motor into a scooter, he’s on track to achieve a speed of 70mph, 8 mph higher than the current record. Is this shaping up to be the fastest scooter of all time?
1. A pool that makes fun shapes – Your swimming pool is just old and boring. Fear not, mad scientists from Asia have turned what’s seen today as totally average into major nerdgasm. Take a look:
