Start your day the Wallace and Gromit way

Nicey & Wifey at Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down report that British tea company PGTips has come up with some crackin' "cuppa contraptions" based on Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Though not quite the Rube Goldberg complexity shown in the film, the ReadyWhenUR kettle lets you text the kettle so the water's ready when you hit the kitchen. You can also get a Gromit mug, a color chart that shows you exactly what various brews of tea should look like when ready, and doggie-shaped tea bags.

Alas, these wonderful tea playthings probably aren't available here in the colonies, but it's nice to know that somebody somewhere tries to make real life as fun as animation-world.

By the way, go plop down some coins to see W&G - it's a great film for big people and little people. Big clay thumbs way up.

Goodnight from Vancouver.
