World Landmark Rings are Classy, Great as a Weapon

Filed under: Design, Wearables

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.

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.

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.

Project Nomad: An ATV with Legs

Filed under: Design, Transportation

project-nomad1

How old school do you like it? Project Nomad takes you WAAAAYYYY back. Back to the days when going out to get a steak was more complicated than just stepping out to your nearest grocery store.

Jason Battersby’s Project Nomad is a vehicle concept with a twist. Instead of the standard wheel-based movement system, Nomad is operated with a set of four legs, much like an animal mount. The vehicle itself is controlled much like a motorcycle. Hit the jump for more pics and a video preview.

Game Boy iPhone Pouch Case Reminds You of the Good Old Days

Filed under: Cellphones, Design, Gaming

Remember when Bush number one was president, the dust from the fallen Berlin wall had barely settled and a little handheld gadget named Game Boy ruled supreme? The Game Boy iPhone Pouch takes me back to the days of laying in bed for hours, trying to beat my own high score of Tetris.

I’ve been one of those bare back iPhone users. Letting my phone get some air doesn’t seem to have caused much damage, though the awesomeness of this pouchy case is calling my name. Either that, or those voices are back. Maybe I should get my medication dosage checked.

Self-Portrait Machine Forces You To Draw Yourself

Filed under: Design, Misc. Gadgets

selfportrait1

A narcissists dream, the Self-Portrait Machine takes a photo of the user and transfers the picture into a drawn image of themselves. The catch is that the user is actually the one that does all the drawing, as they are physically attached to the machine. The machine itself performs a little dutch rudder action, guiding the user’s hand along the page.

If you’ve always wanted to be a talented portrait artist and never had a lick of talent, the Self-Portrait Machine not only allows you to draw, but damn well forces you to. Check out more pics and a video after the jump.

Transfoarmchair Bends to Your Every Whim

Filed under: Design, Household

transfoarmchair

We can only imagine the incredible leaps and bounds which will be made in the chair business by the time that “the future” rolls around. But if we had a choice of what the future chair would look like, the Transfoarmchair would seem like a safe bet, as long as the future really turned out to be like a science-fiction novel.

The three-dimensional interactive Transfoarmchair alters its wire mesh shape by monitoring electronic fields with a super-intuitive self-serving alloy. Special electro-chrome polymers allow the chair to change its color on your command. But hey, as long as it has a cup holder, I’ll be content.

Record Table Made of Recycled Classic Rock Vinyl Records

Filed under: Design, Eco-tech, Household

albumsidetable

There have been countless methods of recycling your old, abandoned, bong water-stained vinyl, but none that have integrated the actual casing and cover art as well. If you have such epic records as Led Zeppelin’s IV, there is no reason NOT to show them off some how.

BUGHOUSE designed this unique record table, which would fit spectacularly into your den of devil worship. It’s much more thoughtful than simply throwing them in the trash bin, surely.
