Cincinnati seems to have finally provided the world with something of value. BoingBoing recently featured Toy Lab, one of Cincinnati's best and coolest places.
I read Xeni's "Toy Zen" post, and it reminded me of Cincinnati's Toy Lab, a wonderful (non-profit) place where children (and adults) make toys out of old toys. They run all their donated toys through a gigantic washing machine several times before unleashing them on the masses. Kids assemble their toy, name it, and assign it powers before having it photographed and placed on the Web for all to see. I've spent hours of productivity giggling at the toys these kids have invented.

From the Toy Zoo:


Name:The Twister

Age:2
Comments:It can run real fast!

I should think so, Lucy. I should think so.
