This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time.  So simple.  So elegant.

Nothing wakes a man up better than a splash of cold water on his balls in the morning, I guess.

Not only would I be awake, but I would be upset. :)

There is a video on the Engadget site; there's nothing too exciting about it, though.

lol at the mars volta song playing on the video!  WOW, this product is soooo hip! :)

Really, though, I'm not so into the idea.  It just seems odd, for some reason.  I'd rather just use my hand, I think.

You don't recognize genius when it stares you right in the face?!? :)

That quote could be applied to so many products. :laugh:

I'd worry about mold inside the hollow toothbrush if its not properly aired out afterwards.

How many people do you think will just be rinsing off their toothbrush, accidentally tilt it a little under the water, and end up having to change before heading out to work? :)

I can see this happening in the morning when you aren't quite awake.  That's what hair dryers are for.  If used responsibly (you don't want to burn any sensitive areas, you know), they make great portable clothes dryers. :P
