The Seven Blunders of the World
The Seven Blunders of the World is a list that Mahatma Gandhi gave to his grandson during his last days. The seven blunders are:
- Wealth without work
- Pleasure without conscience
- Knowledge without character
- Commerce without morality
- Science without humanity
- Worship without sacrifice
- Politics without principle
The flip-flops which don't flip or flop
Going topless is always a sure way to attract attention. But now, it seems, that rule also applies to feet. This summer's must-have fashion accessory is the topless flipflop - a sandal with no straps and no apparent way of staying on your foot.
The secret is the tacky water-based glue that keeps the foamy sole in place but does not come off on skin. In the two weeks since the sandals have gone on sale - under the slogan "flip-flops that don't flip or flop" - an astonishing 3,000 pairs have been sold, despite minimal publicity.
Fans of the flip-flops say they are perfect for those looking to avoid unsightly tan lines and blisters, or for anyone who enjoys the sensation of walking barefoot. "They're not likely to work for more than a season, but they are a fun holiday accessory or something to wear after the beauty salon when you've just had your nails done.
The flip-flops, which come in five designs, including beach, rainforest and aloha sunset, cost £12.50 each and are available in three sizes - small, medium and large.
Invented in the U.S. and made in China, they have already proved a hit in Australia and Canada, where thousands of pairs have been sold.
"If you'd just had a pedicure you could just put them straight on without smudging your nail polish."

Although its interesting, I don't think its practical... imagine goin to the beach and having all the sand stuck to your flipflops because of the sticky surface... ewwwww gross and how uncomfortable. Unless the surface was engineered to only stick on skin... i doubt it :P
