Things that exist: Butt wipe mittens

Shittens disposable mitten-shaped moist wipes

If there's one great universal truth that we can all agree on, it's this: No one wants poop on their hands. And yet, we laugh carelessly in the face of danger every time we take an old fashioned wet wipe to our heinies, flying completely blind in the critical poop-to-hand spatial relation. How many times have you taken one of those substandard wet wipes to the posterior of a child, risking major contamination from that flailing poop cloth? And how many times has your dog's "number two" been a little closer to a number one "and a half", requiring a deadly grab & pull maneuver with whatever's laying around? Enough is enough! With new Shittens, you can fully protect your hands while tending to the dirty deed.

An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth

If you thought you've heard the last of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield when he left the International Space Station back in May, you were wrong, cause he just launched his book An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything.

As Commander of the International Space Station, Chris Hadfield captivated the world with stunning photos and commentary from space. Now, in his first book, Chris offers readers extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality.

A little over a month ago, Chris asked his son to make a video for his book launch, "that wasn't just some over-the-top ad." Here's the result:
