  The Great Gorilla Run will take place on September 27th in London. Every year, people dressed in gorilla suits run through the city, raising money to help protect the Mountain Gorilla.

  The word on the street is that running in a gorilla suit is very cool. But that’s not true - it’s actually very, very warm, but there’s nothing quite like being a part of our furry pack of runners.

• Buy a Dollhouse, Get the Real House Free

  9/4/2008

  It’s a buyer’s market in real estate these days -I know, I’m trying to sell one, too. A Michigan couple weren’t having much luck selling their home when they came up with a gimmick that generated publicity if nothing else. Gerry and Cindy Mann are now throwing in their home for free, if you want to buy a miniature replica for $169,000!

  Using a 1-foot-to-1-inch scale, Cadwell fashioned an exact replica of the Mann house about 15 years ago for the family’s three (now-grown) children to enjoy.

  The retired engineer toiled for more than a year on the structure, eschewing dollhouse kits for elbow grease. He cut the wooden swinging closet doors, trimmed the sandpaper shingles and wired the electric fixtures himself.

  All in all, the Manns estimate, the dollhouse is worth a couple thousand dollars. Gerry and Cindy are hoping the digs will soften the blow of the $167,000 mark-up.

  As consummate salespeople, the Manns would like to point out that the dollhouse is not an exact replica. The spacious pool, the cabana and the large backyard with a garden plot have not been captured by Cadwell’s adroit hands.

• Rotator Bath

  What do you get when you cross a bathtub and a urinal? Whatever it is, it probably looks like this: the Rotator Bath, a luxury bath concept by designer Ron Arad and Italian bathtub manufacturer Teuco:

  The elegant sculptural form serves two purposes, it could either be used as a shower, or it could be rotated 180 degrees to form a bathtub against the wall.
