Hospital beds turned five times a day!

Britain's National Health Services is an ailing albatross. Now, its come up with a novel idea to ensure that its Moslem patients come to its doors faithfully. It turns its patients’ beds,so they face towards the city of Mecca, five times a day! Not only this, but the lengthy procedure also includes providing fresh bathing water to wash before and after prayers and a taxpayer-funded training programme for several hundred hospital staff so as to ensure that all are familiar with the workings of the Muslim faith! Isnt that just swell?!

Even Saudi Arabia may not have come about with such a logic-defying scheme!!

Water Purifying bottle

A water purifying bottle that makes even foul water drinkable!

Called the "Life Saver," it can purify upto 6,000 liters with one filter.Unlike most typical filters, which can eliminate only bacteria ,the purifying bottle removes even viruses as the filter takes out any matter above 15 nanometers.

The invention was inspired after its inventor, Michael Pritchard,watched the coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Tsunami and the dismal supply of fresh water to these parts.
