Old plates, new look: all you need is the right kind of drill bit and a lot of extra plates. The design's by Denis Belenko and the modeling by Dmitry Nkolaenko.

Just what I need, the appearance of dishes stacked everywhere, when I have so much trouble keeping the dishes cleaned up.

Making an impromptu one of these out of dirty dishes would be perfect for a situation comedy scene were the protagonist's mother-in-law arrives unexectedly.

Canned air?? Heck, no; that's what the 80-gallon two-stage oiled compressor in the living room is for! It makes short work of dusting, ripping upholstery up, launching paperback books, etc.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to clean up after one of these hits the floor.

On the other hand, chances of something this heavy being knocked off accidentally are pretty slim.

Interesting optical illusion: the plates in that image seem to pulsate and throb if the page scrolls up (or down) slowly enough.
