For the first time in medical and typographical history, fonts go under the knife for a full biological analysis. I’m very concerned whether these letters were volunteers or part of some sort of font trafficking ring. I hope for the designer’s sake that this is an example of the former.... Continue reading

Most of you won’t know this, as up until now it was privy knowledge to only a few lucky souls. The man we have come to know and love as Pac-Man is not the character we thought he was. Back in 1982, as the original Pac-Man was living the rock star lifestyle courtesy of his new found fame, there was an accident. The exact circumstances are hazy but the story involves two very drunk ghosts and one very dead Pac-Man.... Continue reading

Friends and family were quick to fill the casts with snide signatures and sympathetic autographs. But let me tell you this.

Castoos offer a wide variety of bone-themed... Continue reading

After spending so much cash on x-rays, they usually wind up in some abandoned file, strewn in a closet or junk drawer.

You’ll need it to save up for this bad boy.

Even if you have disgustingly dirty and calloused feet, there’s no reason why you can’t show off your fabulous bone structure. These Skeletal Shoes are for the most hardcore of foot fetishists among us. Available on Etsy, you can pick up a pair for pretty much Wal-Mart prices. Only $40 a pop.

Can you point out where your ilium is? I know I can’t! Not yet at least. Though I might take a sudden interest in anatomy if I had sheets which constantly reminded me of my innards. The anatomically correct “Hypochondria” sheets remind you that there are plenty of small moving parts within you which could malfunction at any second. Yes, including your ilium. You know what they say about guys with big femurs, right? Link [via]
