The above 5 3/4 inches long ancient Indus Valley Iron Age Bull shaped rattle is dated back to the fourth Millenium BC (Mehrgarh periods IV – VI, approximately 3500-2800 BC).  The genuine Indus ceramic is extremely rare with well-preserved pigment (not the normal faked ceramic on today’s market).  The ceramic piece characterizes a large bull standing foursquare with thick upturned horn.  There are also black brushstrokes decorating the ceramic.  The Indus pottery was used as a rattle in ancient times, and it still made noise today when shook.

The rare piece was acquired in 1980’s and previously belonged to a British private collection.  It is now available for bid on eBay and the closing date is on Feb 20, 201014:05:10 PST.  There are 14 bids made so far at the price of US $227.50.

Good ideas normally come at wrong timing, especially when you are showering and you have nothing around to jot down your ideas.  The most famous example in history is the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes figured out the way to know the volume of his body while bathing, and he ran around naked shouting “Eureka!”

You do not want your ideas and inspiration to wash down the drain while you are in the shower.  AquaNotes is a waterproof notepad that is suitable for shower thinkers, artists, boaters, field workers, fishermen, and even love birds.  The notepad itself is also recyclable and environmentally friendly.

the-meaning-of-life-t-shirt
The illustration of “The Meaning of Life” t-shirt was designed by Aled Lewis.  It is another masterpiece from Threadless.

Life is like your eyes.  They get worse and more blur with time.  Life is like an eye chart.  You can only see what is big and near to you, and often you miss out those small and remote things around you.
