Flowbee
The Flowbee is an electrically powered vacuum cleaner attachment made for cutting hair. It was developed and filed for patent in 1986 by Rick E. Hunts, a San Diego, California carpenter. US patent 4679322 was granted in 1987 and the product marketed since 1988. Hunt initially sold the Flowbees out of his garage before finding success with live demonstrations at a county fair. The product was advertised as being capable of performing "hundreds of precision layered haircuts" in frequently aired late-night television infomercials. By 2000, two million Flowbees had been sold.
The Flowbee can also be used to groom dogs with long hair such as Maltese or Bichon Frisé with a special pet grooming attachment which is sold separately. Previously, a special green-colored Flowbee Pet Groomer variant of the device was available.
Over the years, the Flowbee device saw at least three revisions which can be identified by the shape and labeling of the cutting head ("Vac-u-cut", "Flowbee Int.", "Flowbee.com"). It is still being manufactured and sold via their factory direct website and various outlets across the Internet. The Flowbee factory is located in Flour Bluff, a suburb of Corpus Christi, Texas.

En Route To The Unified Field Theory
by: FlopI'd like to stay and introduce myself to you
And all your friends who tell you what you do is good
I fall down laughing as they offer you their gratitude
For making them believe the things you do
(chorus)
I feel so tired and I'm leery that the time
You spend with me is of design
I come to see you live your life out on parade
As if your will is so benign
I say goodbye and through the doorway
I will leave you to the key to all the happiness you find
You fill my resevoir with shame
And resignation to banality that fills your little mind
(chorus)
Mercury baby, airless and waiting
Revolving at a high velocity
Proud to be much closer to the sun
Shine your light on everyone
The answer is waiting and soon I'll be fading
Albert would be proud if he could see
