Solar-Powered Christmas Lights Save on Utilities

solar-powered-christmas-lights

Al Gore, Barack Obama and now, there’s you. Trying to save the planet isn’t always an easy job, but somebody’s gotta do it. Well, these Christmas lights actually are pretty easy.

The solar panels do all of the work. All you have to do is hang the lights and enjoy. Not only do you get to save a butt load of money on your electricity bill, but you get to save the planet at the same time. It’s really win-win. Plus… hello? Bragging rights!

Inflatable Turkey Helps Vegetarians Fit In

inflatable-turkey

What’s Thanksgiving without a big, juicy turkey as the center piece? Even if you’re planning on eating turkey-flavored tofu crap instead of the real thing, there’s no reason not to feel like you’re at an actual Thanksgiving celebration. The Inflatable Turkey adds a taste of normalcy into your fucked up existence. And that’s all we want. To feel NORMAL!

It even comes in a can, just how Momma used to make it.

Photos from 2012

2012-1

I’m not sure how one would develop photos after the world was destroyed, but apparently someone figured it out.

Steve McGhee created these photo-realistic Photoshop creations, depicting the possible realities of the dreaded 2012 apocalypse. You know, the one that homeless dude on the corner is always ranting and raving about. I love how that first photo features people gingerly walking the streets like nothing is happening. You’d think there’d be some sort of panic. But I guess it’s just another day in the city for New Yorkers.

Clock Made Entirely Out of Scrollbars

scrollbar-clock

We’ve seen some pretty wacky and creative clocks in our day. We’ve seen clocks made strictly out of live-human body parts. We’ve seen clocks only solvable by mathematicians. But this clock strikes a chord with us geeks, utilizing one of the most prolific parts of the web browser, the scrollbar.

The coolest part is that you can actually move the scrollbar as the time ticks away.

Spider-Man Arrested

The backstory remains unclear, but as they say, a photo speaks 1000 words.

Maybe Toby Maguire has been beating up hookers again. He told me he was going to give that shit up. Damn you, Toby! Why can’t you just snort coke off the hookers asses like every other normal human-being. You have to resort to violence?!

Ghetto Transformers: Cardboard in Disguise

cardboardformers

These Ghetto Transformers costumes are made using cardboard boxes, paint and probably some paper mache.

It’s all fun and games until it starts to rain. Soggy cardboard might be the least intimidating material ever. You can’t even give someone a paper cut with that shit. These costumes might work as a Halloween costume on a dry night, but for fighting Decepticons? I’ll stick with brute metal.

Jack Daniel’s Chess Set

jack-daniels-chess

How do you take your Jack Daniel’s? I prefer mine with a twist of strategy and just a hint of geekery. Oh… and three ice cubes please.

The Jack Daniel’s Chess Set encourages drunken chess tournaments, which can never end good. What experience I have playing chess under the influence ended with one broken chess set and a trip to the hospital for an emergency extraction procedure.
