The latest fear mongering going on in the news is that of H1N1. While a concern for certain individuals, it is hardly the ruckus the media plays it up to be. But hey, they have to have some story to repeat every hour don’t they? Moving on, having any kind of illness often leaves your nostrils a tad leaky. Such liquids aren’t exactly socially wanted so we wipe them away with fluff-ified tree particles and toss them in the trash. In the spirit of geekiness and perhaps a bit of apprehension to entering someone else’s affected bubble to even give them a help hand (and tissue), the Tissue Box RC Car will bring a smile to many faces. For starters, it brings relief to aching noses in many places. Second, it’s just cool to have your own mobile nose blowing station. As long as you stay within 26 feet of your little box on wheels, you’re golden. As long as you like red, white, or black and have $25 to spare, the Tissue Box RC Car can officially be yours.

Think of all of the addictions one could have and try to categorize them in order from least (physically) harmful to the most harmful. Usually drugs and alcohol are right near the top of the list as over time, those certainly take a toll on the body. Since the dawn of the internet, the entire world has literally been plopped down right in front of you. Why spend tens of thousands of dollars and spend weeks seeing the sights of the world when you can do so for much less from the comfort of your living room couch? Granted, some people prefer the real world experience, myself included, but that doesn’t make the couch potato world tour any less tempting. Like many other instances and scenarios in life, too much of a good thing can lead down the road to trouble. Even the internet, a highly useful tool can become so addictive and distracting that it becomes a hinderance. Enter the new wireless, always connected age and the dawn of internet addiction. But there is help.
