Everett Bradford created this insanely awesome “Prometheus Device” which lets you shoot fire from a hand-mounted flame thrower. The device makes you feel like a real superhero, or supervillain, for whichever purpose you decide to use your new found powers, good or evil, is up to you.

Bradford’s also done a great job documenting the building process, but of course, continue at your own discretion as this project is bound to be more dangerous than your average garage project. In other words, say your goodbye to your eyebrows now. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.

While your puppy might not have actual opposable thumbs fit for walking hand in hand, who’s to say that the canine doesn’t wish they could have contact when they sniff around for their preferred spot to shit. I know that having my Vietnamese house boy hold my hand helps me evacuate my bowels.

The Hand-Shaped Dog Leash allows you to feel a little less impersonal with your dog, adding a fake hand in place of the usual leash handle. Even if you’re totally alone and your dog thinks you smell, you can feel somewhat loved.

Leave it to Joel over at BBG to find the world’s most badass hand saw. It’s called the Veritas Dovetail Gang Saw and it costs a whopping $212. But you have to think about it for a minute and analyze the need for this saw. If vampires or zombies ever come after you, you’ll be prepared with three sharp blades, ready to slash through flesh at a moment’s notice. While some would argue the saw itself isn’t Steampunk enough, I’d beg to differ.

Apparently, you can also cut wood or something to that effect. Who would want to, though? It’s soooo beautiful.

These morbid creations bear a creepy resemblance to that severed horse head plush we wrote about and they’re also more blood-soaked than that Army Of Darkness knit doll. Knit creations become a little more bizarre when carrots are killing rabbits and pink unicorns are out for blood.

Andieman26 posted these on his Flickr account and now I’m questioning his better judgment. Could he be the next Minneapolis Mangler? With knit creations like these, I wouldn’t put it past the guy.

Upon first glance you’d think this guy was just some panhandler who was a little late on Halloween but, in truth, he’s loitering for a good cause, fighting the good fight.

It’s a member of the Argentinian Red Cross exercising some guerrilla marketing to raise awareness of global warming. It’s so hot outside he’s melting. So, do something about it before we all suffer the same demise.

Check out this USB “hand warmer” stick. It doesn’t have the finger grips that the other USB hand warmer has, but it costs a dollar more. Strange.

Oh, who am I kidding. This thing is as much for your hands as a monitor is for your head. In truth, this is a covert dildo for pleasuring either yourself, a loved one or maybe even a one night stand. The fact of the matter is, you never know when a heated dildo will come in handy.

C’mon, this isn’t exactly a beanbag-looking hand warmer. This is a stick. Not just any regular stick, either. It’s curiously shaped to fit every orifice of the human body. It’s great for vagina, too. I don’t know about you, but a $12 dollar heated dildo is as cheap as they come. I would know – I own two.

Here at Gearfuse, we can never fulfill our monthly quota of toilet paper related posts, but boy do we try.

Speaking of toilet paper, one can never have enough toilet paper holders.

Here’s a bathroom buddy kindly providing you with pampering services while it, too relieves itself on the John. It’s a hand-made, 7-inch tall sculpture which possesses a keen likeness to robots. Necessities of life don’t come cheap, however. With a price of $95.97 – wait a minute! $95.97!? Holy moly! Ah hell, we’ll buy it anyway. We love robot toilet paper holders.

Being stranded at the gym without a charger can be a problem when you’re without one of these hand-grip chargers. An ideal solution for scrawny forearms and drained iPods, the hand-grip charger makes finding AC outlets a moot task. It’s a great stress reliever, too!

Squeeze the handle and it charges the device attached to it. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong. Have you ever used one of these hand-grips? It’s like trying to arm wrestle an ogre. Most gadget-nuts won’t have the willpower or stamina to charge their gadgets this way and will probably search for alternative eco-solutions. Oh, and check out that clock: it’s 4:20.

Even on Halloween, when you’re all hopped up on candy, using a mouse can be tiring. For the people who don’t use a vocally controlled mouse, you’re going to need a place to rest your hand. Good thing ThinkGeek is selling this foam wrist-rest that’s shaped like a disembodied hand. It’s perfect for October. $9.99 isn’t a bad price for either a wrist-rest or Halloween decoration. This hand doubles as both!

Remember that Nintendo Famicom which was built into an NES cartidge? That was cool and all, but a post on Ben Heckendorn’s console hacking forum by user Darkeru revealed a new approach which may have just one upped it. Not only did he manage to fit the NES inside the cartridge, he also has managed to embed a controller and a screen!

The catch? It doesn’t play cartridges. That’s alright though, since this hack relies on games already integrated into the chip. This prevents the bulkiness of having a cartridge sticking out of a cartridge and makes the system comfortable and more portable. It runs on three N-cell batteries, so don’t expect to be playing NES games endlessly.
