Two vibrating rings which can guide the wearer around a city via global positioning satellite (GPS) have been unveiled by a British designer at the Royal College of Art.
The rings are the invention of Gail Knight, who developed them as a way of helping women feel safe in areas they are unfamiliar with.

“I admit that, as it is rings, they’re obviously more attractive to women – and I’d been looking at women and their position in the public sphere, and how safe they feel in a public environment,” she told BBC World Service’s Culture Shock programme.

The rings buzz for left and right, and have different vibrations for forwards and backwards. Both buzz when going in the wrong direction.

I see nothing here to suggest you couldn’t strap them to your unit and enjoy touring some of the more dangerous parts of the city, guys. And speaking of units . . .

Ian McKellan’s being asked not to expose himself in the production of Leer Lear he’s presently starring in, as it visits Singapore.

“But what would happen, I wonder, if I did take all my clothes off and instead of my genitalia, I was wearing a pair of false genitalia. Would that be thought inappropriate?”

So Magrittesque is the question, it’s liable to keep me up at night.

So, in case you were wondering, male genitalia come in pairs, like trousers or scissors. And I don’t want to see any comments about how it’s clear now why 2 of Lear’s 3 daughters turned out assholes.
