Uber Shades carry all your tools with impossible compactness

UberShades_thumb.jpgJust look at these sunglasses. Is this a joke? Uber Shades are said to be created by Not-So Bright Sunwear of Germany, and the design concept crams just about everything but the kitchen sink inside their overlarge temples. Even though we're counting just 15 tools nestled inside these sunglasses, its inventors say you can choose from 263 different items and attachments to include in its custom design.

These sunglasses aren't available yet, but are characterized as the "shades of the future." Although we're especially amused by the backscratching attachment depicted in the illustration, this design has hoax written all over it, and it's doubtful that even the tools shown could be shoehorned inside a pair of wearable sunglasses like these. Nevertheless, we'd like to see them try, but there may be good reason why the inventor's company is supposedly named "Not So Bright."

Thinking about all these shades might someday be able to do is giving us all headaches. Oh yeah, there are sunglasses for that, too.

Nice one, Charlie. Enjoyed the review. I guess that's the Swiss army knife you can actually wear!
I'm glad I discovered this site.

Who needs a straw in their glasses, and how would you use it? Also what/how would you paint with that paint brush? It's amazing what you can find now a'days.
