OS Calculators Reaffirm the Fact That You Still Use a PC

os-calculators-1

…but don’t worry, they’re available in the Mac OSX flavor as well. These OS Calculators recreate the experience of using your OS’s stock calculator app, even when you’re away from your computer.

A Mintpass designer recently showed off these OS Calculator concepts. Both models similarly clones its OS counterpart. These calculators will almost certainly never exist, but hey, worth checking out anyway, just in case they do.

Giant Mustache Chew Toy Makes Your Dog Look Dignified

dog-mustache1If your dog suddenly starts showing up at home smelling of cigar smoke and brandy, it might be using one of these Mustache Chew Toys. When bitten just right, it makes your dog look like a dignified British diplomat. Hilarity ensues.

Apparently, symptoms also include a slight brown discoloration of a nipple or two. Seriously, what the hell is with that. You’d think they’d screen these models.

Synchronicity Island Purifies Water Using the Power of You

syn-island1

If we’re going to be enslaved, we might as well have a symbiotic relationship with our slave master. The Synchronicity IslandĀ  allows us to buff up our beautiful, if slightly flabby, bods while our cardio workout provides all of the power needed to purify water. Metaphorically turning water into wine, except the wine is actually more water.

Powered by a series of exercise machines, the Island uses our kinetic energy to pump water into four tanks, which starts the purification process. We are the bearers of clean things and we have the shaky legs to prove it.

Bomb-Damaged Game Boy Amazingly Still Works

bombed-out-gameboy

They don’t make gaming consoles like they used too. Do you think a PSP would be able to withstand a Gulf War bombing and live to tell the tale? That’s exactly what this Game Boy has managed to do.

Despite being blown into a burnt plastic mess this Game Boy still somehow maintains the ability to trudge along its gaming destiny, still playable and for the most part, surprisingly intact.

Snuggies + Twilight = Facebook Fail-bait

twisnug

Alright, I can totally get the whole Snuggie thing. As embarrassed as I am to admit it, I not only own one, but I use it regularly and love the hell out of it. But, dude, Twilight, for real?

We’ve already seen what it would take to make Twilight interesting, and it ain’t pretty.

Periodic Table of Elements Taxis and Buses

periodic-Table-of-elements-taxi-11

These awesome Periodic Table of Elements Taxis and Buses serve as mobile advertisements for the Oxford Science Park in the U.K. I wonder if one of these bad boys will go up for sale after they’re done with the marketing scheme.

A ride like this would go perfect with a set of Periodic Picnic Tables.

Bread Slippers Make It Harder to Avoid Carbs

bread-shoes-1

I need some sort of carb with every meal, which probably explains why I’m overweight. If I’m eating meat, you best believe it’s going to be wrapped between two hunks of bread. But here’s my dilemma. Some people don’t understand my need for carb goodness. Some of my friends are so gung-ho about carbs that they don’t even own any bread products. That’s just not working for me.

That’s why whenever I go to my carb-hating friend’s place I know need to slip on my Bread Slippers. No offerings of sweet, beautiful carbs? Just rip a hunk off of your footwear. Mmm, mmm, filling.

Life-Sized LEGO Mario is the LEGOiest Plumber Ever

life-sized-lego-mario1

We’ve seen Mario’s henchmen in LEGO form before, but never have we seen the man himself quite like this. Weighing in at a massive 110 pounds and standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, this life sized Mario model is completely structured, modeled and built usingĀ  over 40,000 LEGO bricks. The pictures do all the talking here.

Built specifically for the Netherlands’ Game Mania by Dirk VH, the result of this massive undertaking is to be sold on eBay, with all proceeds heading off to charity, most likely to aid starving plumbers.

If your tired of having to sit your ass on the hard wooden floor of your yoga class, or whatever you youngsters are into these days that involves sitting on hard surfaces, the CritBuns is a great way to spare yourself a pain in the ass.

Form fit especially for your tender ass, CritBuns molds to your cheeks.

Apple App Store Crosses the 100,000 Application Threshold

app-store

It’s barely been a year since the App Store opened its metaphorical doors and yet developers have not ceased to continue their plot to create an app for every damn problem or non-problem you might or might not be facing. 100,000 apps later and here we are. We have apps to help you look up Asian girls’ skirts, apps to help you get jailbait porn and of course about half of these apps are some sort of variation of a farting sound machine.

While the app creation process has certainly slowed down from its fervent beginnings, hundreds of apps are still released every single day. The App Store has become a pretty incredible result of what innovation can achieve if done right.
