The makers of a hooded jacket with a range of accessories for the smart drinker, including a hidden flask pocket and a bottle-opener zipper, sought to raise $50,000 when they Kickstarted the project last month. The funding stage is now over and The Drinking Jacket has raised $574,630 -- more than 10 times the required amount. Touted as "the ultimate gift for any drinker", the jacket also has non-slip grips built right into the sleeves, a place to store your sunglasses, and a "beer koozie" pocket. (Via Mashable)
Life-changing experience
Barber Rory Curtis was in a serious car accident in England in August 2012, and came out of a six-day coma believing he was actor Matthew McConaughey. He also spoke fluent French, despite having not studied the language for years. "I was sitting there spouting a foreign language from my hospital bed, acting all French in their sort of arrogant yet sophisticated way," the 25-year-old said in an interview with the Telegraph. "Also, in my head I thought I was Matthew McConaughey. When I went to the toilet, I went to look in the mirror and I was shocked because I didn't look like him, I didn't know what I was looking at ... At times I was in hospital thinking I can't wait to get out of here and back to filming movies. I was convinced I was him and that I had his good looks as well. Then slowly over time it eventually clicked and I thought 'he is an actor, what am I on about?'"
