Koi Ice Cubes Soothe Your Soul as They Cool Your Beverage

koi ice

I thought there was nothing more relaxing than watching Koi fish swim around in their pond, that was until I learned how soothing Koi can be when they’re melting into a puddle of liquid.

These Cold Fish Koi Ice Cube mold from Perpetual Kid allows you to freeze eight Koi-shaped ice shapes and let them float around in your beverage of choice until they melt into oblivion. It’s so much more convenient than owning your own pond.

The Natural Hierarchy of Fish

Come on! It’s Swedish fish. Yum, yum. There’s nothing more sacrilicious than Swedish fish. Ok, Ok, well maybe Jesus beef jerky.

Stuck Goldfish 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 like Winnie the Pooh’s fat ass in his window. Stuck like my junk in a beer bottle. Don’t ask, please.

And please, let me just assure you, this appears to be much more comfortable to use than the fishy butt plug. At least that’s what I hear. *wink* *wink*

Found: Fish with Human Teeth (Update: Species Found!)

fishteeth1

Update: It appears this species of fish is known as a Sheepshead. Google Images has more pics of  this incredible and bizarre creature. (Thanks commenter Matt for this discovery!)

Still yet to be identified, this unknown species of fish appears to have humanoid-like teeth.

And apparently they also have great dental coverage. I’ve seen worse looking teeth on humans who brush daily. Check out some more photographic evidence after the jump. What’s your call on this one? Real? Fake? Shopped? Sexy?

XL Wall Mounted Aquarium

Anyone can waltz into the nearest Circuit City Best Buy, purchase a 42-inch LCD TV and hang it on their wall, but where’s the fun in that? If you’ve got a summer home of some sort, ditch the TV in favor of socializing and pick up the 21 gallon XL Wall Aquarium. At $1500, it costs as much as a television set and holds a hell of a lot more fish. It’ll look sleek as hell above a bar, fireplace or even your bed. It includes all the equipment to keep your shellfish alive and will undoubtedly score you points with the ladies.

What are you waiting for? Use your head and drop $1500 on this thing, stat. I’m positive your investment in AIG will grow over time.

Thanko Very Much: USB Heated Mousepad

What better way to warm that right hand up? Plug in this cute, blue fish from Thanko and let ‘er rip. Just keep your hand inside while you use the mouse and you’ll be hotter than Sarah Palin. Of course, there’s a good chance you’ll get skin cancer or a weird rash from it but who’s counting? $22 and the ability to fistfuck a plush fish.

Fish Flops Perfect For The Beach

At first, I thought these shoes were the product of a hipster who had some cardboard, old sandals and a lot of free time. Upon closer inspection, however, I discovered that these are indeed real fish that are dead and wearable. It’s quite gross but I’m sure they’d work fine outdoors on a beach. And by fine I mean the scales will fuck your feet up.

DIY Crab Pots

If you’ve ever seen Deadliest Catch, you know crabbing is no bullshit. Raw, powerful and extremely itchy, crabs are ready to claw your nose off before they make it to a pot full of boiling water. If you buy crabs from the market, that’s great and all. But what about catching your own?

Kevin Kelly posts these DIY crab pots made from milk crates and plastic wastebaskets. Crabs travel through the maze and get caught inside. They lose, you win. Eat ‘em up!

Robotic Fish Feeder Saves Lives

The most common demise of fish is due to negligence. If you go through life with a “can’t someone else do it” attitude, like myself, then pets really aren’t your bailiwick. Fish of all pets are the easiest to maintain and yet, some people can’t keep a goldfish alive longer than a week.

With Fifer, the fish feeding robot, fish finally get the attention they deserve.  Fifer calculates the density of fish in the water. It’ll send out sound waves to attract the fish then dispense the right amount of food.  This will train the fish into approaching the robot have them associate the sound waves with feeding time. There is also a plant on top which grows to represent the health of your fish. Fish need lovin’ too you know.

Waterboard: Play With Water While Keeping Dry

Getting wet sucks, especially if you’re that alien species from the movie Signs. Michael Burton has crafted an award-winning concept of a virtual water interactive installation. Unlike the Light Rain, you won’t find shoddy poetry and goofy dancers throughout this video. Rather, you’ll see people playing with life-like water displayed on a board.

The water will react to anything pressed up against the board including your entire body. Plants will grow in dry areas of the board, aquatic life will spawn from bodies of water and water will become stagnant if its source is severed. With multiple users, an evolving network of virtual water is obtained. The Waterboard claims to

“offer the means to encourage creating thinking to emphasis the natural progression of the Earth’s water supply”

Looks like he’s going for an eco state-of-mind and from the looks of things, it seems to be quite the success.
