Ancient Vampire Killing Kit Sells Big

Filed under: Hardware, Internet

This is some cool shit right here. A real vampire-killing kit from the 1800s has sold at auction for $15,000. It includes all the good stuff, including a Bible, holy water, cross, silver bullets, gun, candles, knives, garlic and of course, wooden stakes. Some call it a waste of money. I call it being prepared. Richter Belmont would approve, I’m sure.

Chuck Norris Papercraft Kicks Ass But Has No More Paper To Take Names

Filed under: Design, Internet

Chuck Norris is a man’s man. I’ve got no idea why, considering most of the movies he’s in suck major ass but he’s good with karate and supports the troops. That’s gotta count for something. As homage to one of the greatest living Internet memes in existence and the Scott McCoy, DeviantArt user Billybob884 has been cutting and pasting like crazy to craft this papercraft model of the most bad ass man in the Universe. Well, next to MacGyver, of course.

He’s also released instructions and the pieces required to make your own.

Lizard Pen Won’t Eat Crickets

Filed under: Design, Peripherals

Gearfuse reader Simon sent us a link to the “Unique Lizard Ball-Point Pen Hand-Painted Animal Ball Pen Yellow.” Long name aside, we like it. It’s a standard pen, housed inside an incredibly awesome orange lizard. At 9″ long, you can have your girlfriend compare it to your manhood for the sake of shits and giggles. Better get one fast, though. According to the site, only 5 are in stock and who knows when an opportunity like this one may present itself again…

Fire breathing Jumping Spider Robot does nothing but intimidate

OK, this fire-breathing jumping robot may not be the most productive of the bunch or have any true purpose, but damn it is cool looking. The spider features legs that can be controlled independently of each other with an airbag on its bottom which allows it to jump two feet in the air.

If you’re looking for functionality, look somewhere else, but if you want something that is pure badass, beer chugging, metal rock and roll, the spider robot will be the highlight of any metal head’s gadget collection. You can even throw it on your lawn to ward off those damn kids that bring their dogs on your yard to do their business. If one of them happens to get burnt, just blame it on technological advancement. Check out a vid after the jump.
