This week it's the magnificent seven, as Darragh takes us through bowel movements at work and how to swear like an irate Iranian...

1: 50 Irish towns in one conversation  

The Irish comedy group Foil, Arms and Hog are probably just a few viral comedy sketches from global stardom, so be sure to check out this one that's probably not going to appeal to a worldwide audience - barring the Irish diaspora. 

Still, it's a great concept and executed perfectly:

2: Carezapp 

With an estimated 275,000 caregivers in Ireland - a growing number at that - one local company is aiming to improve communication between them and the people supporting them: family, friends, good neighbours, local community supports; homecare, social and healthcare providers.

It provides a simple way of connecting all those who can help support that care by allowing you to create a private network via smartphones app and website and help ensure smooth communications and collaboration between all caregivers.

With CareZapp, you store your own notes, records and communication on a private platform to keep up to date, arrange appointments, visits or just update people on things to look out for.

They say “It enables early intervention, prevention and continual monitoring of wellness through a unique combination of a private social network, care applications framework and discovery platform – referred to as Connect, Inform, Discover.”

3: Durex Connect 

What is the single best thing couples can do with their phones to boost their sex life?

In a recent Durham University study on the role smartphones and technology plays in our romantic and sexual lives, it was found 40 percent of participants admitted to answering the phone during sex.

Okay, admittedly it’s a paid-for study of only 30 people across the UK, but still the respondents to the survey said:

• expressed frustration when partners spent time on smartphone apps when together, often lying in bed messaging other people while ignoring each other  

• Participants felt that smartphones encroached onto sexual activity, with 12 of the 30 having delayed sex because of technology use  

• Some participants reported hurrying sexual activity in order to respond to messages on smartphone  

• Participants expressed worry about privacy related to sexual texts and pictures

• 10 participants had answered their phone during sex.

So, Durex  came along with the Durex Connect app, in what is possibly the most extreme app I’ve seen in quite a while - they call it a user-friendly way to synchronise your phone with your partner’s, so that neither can renege on the promise of dedicated, tech-free connection.

They came out with the study that said the single best thing couples could do to boost their sex life was to turn off their mobile phones.

The Durex Connect app is a user-friendly way to synchronise your phone with your partner’s, so that neither can renege on the promise of dedicated, tech-free connection.

At agreed times, or by spontaneous agreement, it will simply mask your phones’ home screen, effectively putting the handsets to sleep and removing all distractions so that you can disconnect from technology and connect with each other.

4: YouSwear

If you go to the bathroom at work, how much do you earn for it? Here’s the rather crude website that can tell you!

It’s a very simple website:

• It asks you how long you spend in the bathroom - you enter how many minutes you usually poop for
• It asks you how often you go - how many each week - and then how much you earn a year

So, if you spent 2 minutes in the bathroom, 5 times a week on a 28,000 salary, working 35 hours a week, you get paid 51cent every time you go to the bathroom, sitting on the toilet in work for about 9 hours each year (that’s 0.38 days), doing about 260 poops while earning a respectable €133.

6: GeoGuesser  

An excellent in-browser game that asks you to guess where in the world you’ve ended up on Google Street view.

You’re dropped onto a random road - it could be anywhere in the world. Travel up and down the roads, looking at what’s around, what’s on the signposts, what’s in the distance and guess where it is. When you make a suggestion, the map itself will show you how close - or far you were. 

7: Dumb ways to die 

Sometimes it's nice to revisit viral trends a few years after they reach their peak, and see what all the fuss was about. The below video was a big hit when it debuted in 2012. Produced by the public transport network in Melbourne, it's an infectiously catchy tune about all the myriad ways that fate might try to murder us, and how we lend death a helping hand.
