Happy Birthday, America!

How important is Independence Day, you ask? Well, it’s the one day of the year where this guy’s priorities are slightly altered. Okay, okay, and George Lucas’s birthday makes two. So shoot the guy, why don’t you.

Have a great holiday weekend and drive safe, fellow GEARheads.

World Landmark Rings are Classy, Great as a Weapon

Filed under: Design, Wearables

landmark-ring1

Look, I’m not what you might call a hipster, unless sitting around in your pajamas all day is considered hip these days. But I do like to get a little flashy when I get all dolled up to go out.

Slip a digit into one of the four World Landmark Rings, which bear the idol of the Leaning Tower, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and the Space Needle. Wear all four at once if you desire. They also looks like it could cause a significant amount of pain if applied with just enough pressure to the balls.

Stuck Goldfish Bath Plug

fish-bath-plug

This is what I imagine would happen if your Goldfish died from obesity and got stuck as you tried to flush it town the shower drain, stuck because of its massive girth. Stuck like Winnie the Pooh’s fat ass in his window. Stuck like my junk in a beer bottle. Don’t ask, please.

And let me just assure. This is much more comfortable to use than the fishy butt plug. At least that’s what I hear. *wink* *wink*

The Anatomy of a Mermaid and Other Cryptids

Filed under: Design, Science

mermaid-anatomy

I’ve always sort of wondered how mermaid anatomy works. I figured it would be similar to human biology, just because of the resemblance of our upper bodies, but it’s nice to finally know the specifics, such as the location of the mermaid’s weird-lookin’ vag.

I’m confident that this chart was designed by some of the finest marine biologists alive today. I found the fetal diagram particularly interesting. Hit the jump for charts of other mythical creatures, including the cyclops Curupira.

Found: Fish with Human Teeth

Filed under: Science

fishteeth1

Still yet to be identified, this unknown species of fish appears to have humanoid-like teeth.

And apparently they also have great dental coverage. I’ve seen worse looking teeth on humans who brush daily. Check out some more photographic evidence after the jump. What’s your call on this one? Real? Fake? Shopped? Sexy?

Falling Books Bookend: Reading is Dangerous

Filed under: Household

fallingbookend

Playing God is entertaining. If it wasn’t, games such as The Sims and the iPhone’s Pocket God wouldn’t be nearly as popular as they are. So why shouldn’t gadgets offering a bird’s eye view of another person’s misfortune not be popular as well?

The Falling Books Bookend adds a dose of omnipresence into your study or library. Watch as a little unidentified man perpetually raises his arms in fear of the oncoming avalanche of knowledge.

Filed under: DIYs, Design

steampunk-lightsaber1

Ranking near the top of my “shit I didn’t know i wanted, but now need” list is an awesome Steampunk-style Lightsaber currently being auctioned off on eBay. The metal-constructed saber was constructed by a prop professional, so the quality is likely very high.

With a Buy It Now price of $124.99, the Steampunk Lightsaber is actually really reasonable. Finally, a weapon you can use with your Darth Vader gas mask. Hit the jump for more steamy photos.

Arduino-based WTF Button Monitors Office Awkwardness

Filed under: Hacks, Hardware

wtf-button

Every office has those moments where nobody knows WTF is going on. At least this office has taken the important step of acknowledging the problem.

The WTF Counter system consists of a button hooked up to an Arduino. Whenever an awkward moment arises, an employee presses the aptly labeled WTF button which is connected to the Arduino. The Arduino logs the WTF moment on a local web server.

Tea, Crumpets and Blood

Filed under: Design, Household

bloodyteaparty1

This reminds me of the calm serial killer, who after viciously murdering a family, sits down for a refreshing cup of tea. The Blood-Splattered Coffee Set is very Bates Motel-ish.

While it seems like a must for those of you into the seedier side of horror, the price tag is steep. You’ll have to shell out $500 for this 15-piece porcelain tea set.
