Those are wipes, not diapers.
Oh, and those people are idiots.
A picture released by al-Nusra Front shows one of their Turkish bomber’s applying perfume as he prepares for his mission to blow himself up in Aleppo, the text under it reads, “for the meeting with Women of Paradise.”

A slurp of coffee is often one of the first things that touches our mouths in the morning, so a designer has created a cup lid with lips. Jang WooSeok from Sunchon, Korea, came up with what he calls 'The 'Coffee Lid : Take 'Kiss' Out' as a fun but functional concept.

Hitler gets the Borat treatment with new film helping Germans laugh at past
Adolf Hitler is to make an unlikely return to German cinema screens this year – in a screen adaptation of a book that has taken country by storm
A bestselling novel that helped Germans to laugh at Adolf Hitler for the first time is to be made into a Borat-style comedy film.
The novel Er ist wieder da, published in English as , imagined the Fuhrer mysteriously waking up in modern Germany.
The former dictator is mistaken for a brilliant comic impersonator who refuses ever to break character, and is given his own television show.
In the movie version, filmmakers have gone a step further by sending a camera crew into the streets to film the actor playing Hitler as he interacts with real people.
In one scene which has been leaked to the press, German neo-Nazis are marching through a city centre when, to their surprise, “Hitler” emerges onto a hotel balcony looking down at them.
While other countries have produced Nazi comedies from ‘Allo ‘Allo to The Producers, the Third Reich has long been considered a taboo subject for humour in Germany.
Look Who’s Back has already changed that. The book was a surprise runaway bestseller when it was published in 2012, selling more than 2m copies in Germany and it has since been translated into 41 languages.
The book was the first novel by Timur Vermes, a former journalist. The film version is directed by David Wnendt, whose previous credits include Wetlands and Combat Girls. It stars Oliver Masucci as Hitler.
A trailer shows a famous scene from the book in which Hitler is enraged to find someone has already taken the email address adolf.hitler.
The book depicts Hitler as baffled by modern technology, but Mr Vermes said he took pains not to make him too ridiculous.
“In the book it was important to me that Hitler was not portrayed as a moron,” he said. “That makes this man harmless, which he isn’t.”
The novel deliberately introduces jarring references to the real-life atrocities of Hitler in the midst of some of its funniest episodes.
“I like to start readings with my favourite scene, where Hitler describes a leaf-blower,” Mr Vermes said.
“Everyone nods and laughs, until he compares the thoroughness of the leaf-blower to the thoroughness of the gas chambers. Then, usually, embarrassed glances are exchanged: should we clap or not?”
The film version of Er ist wieder da opens in German cinemas on October 8.

Who can forget the timeless Hitler implosions that parody the failures of other prominent people? They always crack me up, showing their unfettered raw emotion in a closed room, when in public those people put up a steely front.

The design could be a lot worse. That's all I'll have to say.
But frankly the whole idea for me feels a bit ridiculous and self-absorbed.

Never come across my mind until you mention about the other possibilites. Now you got me thinking naughty thoughts. I'm actually pretty innocent..... *lol*
Eccentrics Picasso,Dali,Lichenstein, Wahol, and countless others produced works best described as self absorbed and are.now worth millions.

That's fair enough then. Patenting a process is as it should be, allowed, in which case that original article was either poorly researched and/or written, since it gave the impression that the use itself was patented.
I heard that Picasso often draws on the cheque that he use to pay for expenses. He would then essentially get free stuff because the owner would often kept the cheque rather than cash them in.
