There aren’t many details on this device, but the fact that it is a blatant rip-off of the Wii is plain to see. Plus, they had the balls to call it a Vii – if you can believe it. — Sean Fallon

Unfortunately this Russian motorist had to learn the hard way that cellphones can result in tragedy when behind the wheel of a car. More pictures after the jump.
Weighing less than 1 ounce with a mere 1/4 cubic inch in total volume doesn’t stop these micro-bots from tearing up a obstacle-laden desktop. Throw anything at it: loose change, a pice of fuzz – the Sandia can handle it all with it’s tracked drive system.
Developed by Sandia National Labs, these little beauties come equipped with an 8K ROM processor and temperature sensor – standard (miniature camera, microphone, communication system, and a chemical micro-sensor fully-equipped). It can “turn on a dime and park on a nickel” – and with three watch batteries under the hood you can get this sucker up to 20-inches per minute, 21 on the highway. It is the most compact robot ever created – and they are already planning smaller models. Plus, if you put a whole bunch of them together you could accomplish some awesome tasks. — Sean Fallon

We’re not exactly sure how this was done or the origin of the idea, since this image came off of a myspace profile, but one thing is for sure. One geeky pot head has way too much time on his hands.
To be perfectly honest, I would much rather be playing with that controller than smoking out of it. Thanks for the cool idea though. — Andrew Dobrow
Note: This is actually an N64 controller. If you didn’t notice, you are most likely a pothead. Gotcha! ;-p
I can barely finish my cup of tea in the morning. I don’t know if it’s laziness or what, but one thing is for sure. It’s a waste. Maybe something like this Undress Me Mug would stop my wasteful ways.
As you sip your beverage, the figure of an attractive male or female is revealed as the liquid slips down your gullet. The more you drink the more you see. Available for around $11. — Andrew Dobrow
