I Want This

This key ring is a wee magnetic climbing bottle-opening man.

1) You stick him on your fridge and he looks like he's climbing it with your keys hanging off his bum. You don't lose your keys because they're on the fridge door.

2) You open bottles with him (he's handily on the fridge door) and his wee magnetic hand holds on to the bottle top for you.

That's You 70 Million Years Ago, That Is

Coelacanths: these fish were thought to have been extinct for 70 million years until people started hauling them up in nets in the Indian Ocean in the last century. These fish have remained unchanged for all that time. They are lobe-finned fish, only four species of which survive (as far as we know), but it's these lobe fins on similar fish which The Scientists think gave rise to the limbs of land animals.
