hybrid gadgetshybrid gadgets serve two purposes at the same time
If multitasking is the order of the day, why will gadgets not have multiple functions? In order to keep parity with the faster modern life and its endless demands, certain weirdest gadgets have been created by the designers that serve dual purposes. These gadgets are referred to as weird because they have a look, which is much different from their conventional counterparts. Moreover, the functions they have are very contrary in nature to each other. It is quite debatable as to how efficient they are as far their functional attributes are concerned, but they are worth mentioning for their weird characteristics. Here is a list of seven such weirdest gadgets.

iMac wall hanging
iMac wall hangingiMac wall hanging
The Apple iMac is the most widely selling computer across the world. After its launch in the market in 1998, an estimated 30 million units have been sold. Along with superior performance, due to its heavy duty processor, multimedia keyboard and superior quality display, iMac computers have an edge over their competitors with their colorful and semi-transparent look. Although bulky, the iMac has a certain style that makes people want to buy it. But like all good things, there comes a time when even your favorite PC needs to replaced with another. For those who can’t bear the thought of actually chucking their iMacs in the bin, get inspiration from some of these very innovative ideas people have come up with to reuse their darlings.

1. Cat basket iMac
iMac cat basket
iMac cat basketcat basket
The rounded features of the iMac make it stand out. The different pastel colors and electric shades are an added advantage. As bizarre as it sounds, these attributes were put into action by a designer to create a cat basket. The circuits and wires inside the monitor were removed to achieve this idea which was then cushioned with cozy mattresses and clothes needed for a bed. With an opening on one side and the transparent sheet on the other side, this was the perfect home for Pixel the cat to enjoy his seclusion and keep an eye on the world.
2. Lamp shade with iMac

If you just can’t forget your long association with your iMac, then create artwork out of it which is functional too. A lampshade created by using special body parts of the computer was an innovative way of creating art. The designer used the base of an iMac G3 to create the lampshade’s base. A metal stand was then attached to it and a glass shade bearing Apple’s logo was finally mounted on top.

3. Wall clocks and message boards with iMac
iMac wall hanging
iMac wall hangingiMac wall hanging
When talking about the attractive parts of the iMac, you can’t forget the keyboard. It features attractive shades and a translucent, light reflecting body. Create a wall clock by removing the digits and the circuit and replacing it with the machinery of a clock. The arms of the clock need to be attached on the outer surface of the keyboard with a tape hanger that will enable it to be mounted on the wall. In case you plan to make a message board, there is no need to replace the circuit and install any other machinery. A simple tape hanger will suffice. Then all you need to do is stick your message on the board.

4. Futuristic trash can

Your iMac monitor can even be transformed into an innovative trash can. Take out the circuits inside the monitor and change its direction of mount on the base upside down. Remove the transparent display screen at the front to expose the hollow into which you can dump all your dry litter.

5. Aquarium iMac

Designer Jake Harms came up with this unique idea of transforming a discarded iMac monitor into a live aquarium. He removed the wires, ports and circuits inside and installed LED lights all around the screen. He soldered the joints and corners of the monitor so that there was no seepage of water. He then decorated the interior with water plants, stones and decorative pieces like an aquarium, adding fish and water.

Unusual and amazing urinals
Unusual and amazing urinalsThese are definitely some of the most unusual and amazing urinals of the world.
Restrooms are definitely one of the most important section of any architectural structure and any restroom is just incomplete without urinals. However, when it comes to urinals, the image which appears in front of most of the people is a simple white fixture installed in the corner of a restroom. But no one ever said that these fixtures need to be simple, you can show your creativity even here also. So, what we have here is the list of eight most unusual and amazing urinals.
1. John Michael Kohler Arts Center

John Michael Kohler Arts Center
John Michael Kohler Arts CenterThe walls of the restroom depict changing architecture styles from ancient Egypt to current time on one wall.
This entire restroom consisting of three urinals along with three sinks and two stalls has been created by New York Artist Matt Nolen on commission. In the first look, it will just appear fascinating, nothing more than that, however, when you’ll have closer look at it then you’ll observe that all the urinals, sinks, stalls and walls of this restroom depict the changing architectural styles right from the ancient Egypt to the present time. These architectural styles are depicted on one wall, on the other wall the rulers of each period are depicted. This urinal is named as ‘Lord’. Even the Discover Channel’s program, ‘The World’s Ten Best Bathrooms’ featured this restroom of the Art Center.
2. Stockholm-Arlanda Airport

Stockholm-Arlanda Airport
Stockholm-Arlanda AirportThe purpose of this restroom is to show a beautiful part of the swedish nature in the contrast of concrete and airplains.
The Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is one of the biggest airports in Scandinavia, also the Swedes are the most traveling people in the world. Therefore, the authorities of this sirport wanted to show the tourists a beautiful part of the Swedish nature in the contrast of airplanes and concrete. The solution with which the designers came out was a perfect combination of art, design and function. It’s not that attention was given only to appearance, functionality was also given due importance, that’s why big sheets of glass were installed which reduce the gaps and the odor.
3. Mystique night club

Mystique Night Club
Mystique Night ClubKisses urinals are manufactured and distributed by a Dutch company called "Bathroom Mania".
The feature of this urinal which has been drawing everyone’s attention is its basic shape which resembles the outer portion of human mouth. This urinal is present in the Mystique night club. The owners wanted that the visitors must remain in the party mood even when the are in the restroom so the designers came out with this brilliant idea. A Dutch company called “Bathroom Mania” manufactures and distributes these urinals, popularly known as the Kisses urinals.
4. Nature’s call

Nature's call
Nature’s callEach is created by hand from high fire porcelain.
As the name suggests, the design of these urinals must be such that it it should be very close to the mother nature. This urinal resembles wit the petals of a flowers. Clark Sorensen is been credited with the designing of “Nature’s call”. Each of these urinals are created by hand from high fire porcelain. These fixtures are fully functional and if you want to install one such urinal in your home then you can acquire them from a collector.
5. Amundsen-Scott Station

Amundsen-Scott Station
Amundsen-Scott StationNo other urinal in the world or even space can compete with the efforts and loss of life that went into this fixture’s eventual permanence at the South Pole.
By just watching the picture of this urinal, no one will be able to understand why this is considered to be so much unusual when it appears like just another ordinary fixture. It is not the design which makes this one unusual, but the place where it is located. This urinal resides at the South Pole on the highest, driest and the coldest continent on the earth, that is Antarctica which is the very bottom of our planet where no man was even able to reach until the early 1900’s. What this urinal lacks in beauty, makes up more than that in dignity.
6. The Felix

The FelixThe drainage system enable men to stand in front of the windows and urinate without spillage.
Believe it or not, the glass windows were the urinals before these black marble urinals were installed. The most fascinating thing about these fixtures was their unique drainage system. Because of this system, men could urinate in front of the windows without spillage.
7. International Space Station

International Space Station
International Space StationAll the equipment are designed to be as small as possible, and fits together snugly to minimize unused space
This one again is a urinal which gained the title of being unusual not because of its design but because of the place where it has been installed, however, the design is also quite interesting. This urinal is installed in the International Space Station which rotates around the earth in a circular orbit. Crew members need to spend up to six months in this space station, sleeping, eating, exercising and practicing hygiene. Every surface on this station can be utilized as their is no gravity, which solves the problem of limited space available here. The urinal has been designed in such a way that it fits snugly in order to minimize the unused space.
8. Women’s urinal at Dairy Queen

Women's Urinal at Dairy Queen
Women's Urinal at Dairy QueenThese are some of the most fascinating urinals in the world – and ladies, fear not, this is one here is for you!
The design of this urinal may be unique but it couldn’t be termed as versatile as a regular toilet. Also, it takes up almost the same amount of floor space. The most popular feature of this urinal is the funnel shaped device which can be shared by everyone whosoever uses the urinal.
