A watch created from cheese has been invented in Switzerland and is selling for almost $1.6 million. Swiss watchmaker, H. Moser, crafted the timepiece with an outer casing made from a cheese called ‘Vacherin Mont d’Or’ which has been fortified with resin to withstand use and age. Moser released his specialty watch in response to new regulations placed on Swiss watchmakers who must now source 60 per cent of their manufacturing elements domestically in order to claim the ‘Swiss made’ title. Moser believes the new law is “too lenient, providing no guarantee, creating confusion” and explained s cheese watch “sends a clear message to the Swiss watchmaking industry, the authorities and watch enthusiasts: the ‘Swiss Made’ label is meaningless.” Staying relevant to the dairy theme, the watch features a cowhide…

A restaurant dedicated to the humble potato chip has recently launched in Soho, London. Hipchips offers a wide variety of crisps including the choice of potato variety, such as, Highland Burgundy, Red Emmalie, Salad Blue and Shetland Black. Chef, Scott Davies, reported, “We are using the best ingredients to make a high-end product.

And, for diners who have more of a sweet tooth, Hipchips also offers a range of “pudding dips” featuring peanut butter and jam, crème brulee, chocolate…

We took you though a very thorough rundown of LEGO Worlds last month, but then guess what happened? The game moved back slightly. It’s now out on March 15, but we still think it is a must-own video game for anyone who likes LEGO. And we have a pretty simple reason why – LEGO Worlds is like Minecraft, only with all the fun and craziness of the real-life LEGO toys sets to play with. You have complete creative freedom in LEGO Worlds to build whatever you can imagine. You start off with a large open world that has been randomly created. If you don’t like the look of it, you can easily change the landscape with a simple tool, making mountains out of plains and seas from deserts. Everything in…

1. Play the game on easy. The difficulty doesn’t really change how hard combat is, just how long it takes to find cool Digimon. So you might as well find them quickly! 2. Be prepared to grind your way to the best Digimon. You need to be prepared to train with your Digimon until they need a rest. Then head out to the plains and find more to fight until you need a rest. Then do this over and over for hours. 3. Be prepared that your Digimon will die, and at that point you will need to train up another one to keep the story moving forward. 4. When you first start the game, you should put all your focus on recruitment. This is because getting new Digimon back…

Brisbane local, Steve Humphreys has embarked on a journey to uncover the city’s best meat pie. Aiming to consume up to two pies each week, Humphreys will devote his year to the beefy challenge. In 2015, the forensic accountant searched for Brisbane’s best chicken parmigiana and said, “It was 50 parmas in 50 weeks and it was great.” Each pie will undergo a strict list of criteria including taste, quality of mince and gravy, quality of pastry, the size, the temperature and the price, all of which Humphreys will detail in a blog. Other set guidelines are that the pastries must be plain mince pies from within Brisbane’s city limits and eaten without sauce. Humphreys stated, “There are a lot more than 50 bakeries in Brisbane, and equally I’m not…

I dacked my friend at the start of the day and he got really angry – so at recess I was playing basketball with him and five girls and he dacked me. They all saw my underpants. I was so embarrassed. Roy, NSW My most embarrassing story was one night my dad was cooking and spilt red soup. I asked “is that blood?” and before he answered I vomited on the floor. Then my sister came to the kitchen and asked the same thing – then she vomited! Jack, NSW One of my most embarrassing moments (this is the worst!) was when me and my mates were sitting in class trying to be all cool. Anyhow, one of the other girls fell off a desk and knocked over one of…

NASA recently reached out for some help in solving the complicated issue of astronauts pooping in space. With no toilets available, NASA explained, “While you may go about your life mostly unaffected by this, it is more of a challenge for our brave astronauts in their space suits. After all: when you gotta go, you gotta go. And sometimes you gotta go in a total vacuum.” Previously , astronauts have relied on wearing adult nappies underneath their launch and entry suits which allegedly only solves the problem for around a day . So, NASA asked the public to devise their own “in-suit waste management system” in a promotion called the “Space Poop Challenge”. With a $30,000 prize up for grabs, the winning idea would represent the “most promising for implementation…

Sweden’s Queen Silvia has spooked locals by suggesting the Royal Palace, home to the royal family of Sweden, is haunted by friendly ghosts. In a television documentary, Queen Silvia, who belongs to the longest serving monarchy living at Drottningholm Palace, explained, “You sometimes feel that you’re not completely alone. It’s really exciting but you don’t get scared.” Located close to Stockholm, in Sweden, Drottningholm Palace was originally built in the 16th Century and is listed on the UNESCO world heritage list. The Palace has been the permanent residence of Queen Silvia and her husband King Carl XVI Gustaf, along with housing the royal family since 1981. According to Queen Silvia, the ghosts within the palace walls are nothing to be afraid of as they are “pretty friendly”.…

KRASH: I understand this is something of a childhood dream come true for you to voice a Smurf? JM: For me, yes. Because I grew up watching them on TV every Saturday morning, sitting on the floor in my pajamas with my brother. We saw every single episode. KRASH: What did your brother say when you were cast in the film? JM: Well, my brother has a 2 ½ year old daughter now, my niece, who’s never been able to see anything I’ve ever done. You know, True Blood and Magic Mike… It’s really adult stuff (laughs)… So the fact that I’m getting to do this cartoon means it’s probably going to be the first time that we’re taking her to a movie theatre. That’s really exciting too. KRASH: Were…

I was at my football club night and I had a really itchy bum. To make things worse, I was also holding in a huge fart. I couldn’t lift my bum off the ground to scratch it because if I did I would let off the fart. The coach was talking. Everyone was quiet. I couldn’t take it anymore. I lifted up my bum to have a good scratch and PAAAAAAARP!!! A huge fart was let off. Everyone laughed. “It wasn’t me” I said – but everyone knew it was. I never went back to club nights again! Adrian, Vic…
