Supersized Camping Chair Makes You Look Pocket Sized
Named after the fictional land of giants from Gulliver’s Travels, The Brobdingnagian Sports Chair is a five and a half foot tall seating apparatus, featuring over nine square feet of seating space. That’s enough room for at least 6 or 7 midgets. That’s like, 10-12 Verne Troyers. Mini-me, stop humping the giant chair. We do not gnaw on out arm rests. And if you don’t have the Jawa-sized peeps handy needed to fill this chair to capacity, just lounge around... Continue reading
Please Tell Your Pet To Put Down The Fork
Your pet eats its emotions. That much is clear. What sort of pet needs to use a Buddha Bed as their sleeping cushion? Pet obesity is serious business. I’d like to talk to you about your fat pet for a moment. Please, avert your pet’s eyes away from the screen for a few moments. It’s probably not your fault. Who knows? Maybe Fluffy let herself go after that Great Dane left her for a younger (and frankly, hotter) Poodle. I... Continue reading
Blizzard’s 12-foot Orc Statue
You gotta hand it to Blizzard for having incredible taste. Taking a page from the Warcraft coffers, the team comissioned a 12-foot Orc statue from WETA, the special FX gurus behind the Lord of the Rings series of movies. Originally, the statue was shrunk down and given to employees as a gift but now all can bask in the Orc’s glory (provided you live near the new offices of Activision-Blizzard). Quite a gorgeous statue. Hit the link below to check... Continue reading
Pandora: Open Source Gaming Console
Sheesh. What the fuck is this brick? I know I start my new construction job next week but I didn’t expect to be subjected to these kinds of materials. Apparently this thing can not only be used to lay down the foundation of a building, but also for open source and retro-gaming. It has an 800×480 pixel display, a bunch of retarded buttons and Linux. Sounds good enough for playing old SNES and Genesis emulators, but why not just pick... Continue reading
Riding The Subway
I’m assuming only Japan could come up with something this twisted. Link
The Lumbering Contraption Of Nose Picking
In light of this coming Sunday’s Handcar Regatta, a race of human-powered rail-track creations, the team over at Almost Scientific have created a ginormous 10 feet tall 10 feet wide hamster wheel they’re calling the Lumbering Contraption. What purpose does it serve? Well, it controls a slew of doohickeys that mobilize a giant nose picking machine. Weird, right? If only we could use human-sized hamster wheels. Link [via]
Super Tabletendo
Finally a controller only the great Andre the Giant could comfortably handle. Inspired directly by Kyle Downes’ NES coffee table, Matt LaBoone worked all summer on this impressively gigantic SNES controller. I can’t imagine having a group of friends sitting around this thing each contributing their part to one button as they mash away while playing Street Fighter 2. Link [via]
The Grapes of Cash
If Tom Joad had some of these grapes, he could have moved out of hicksville and into the Ritz-Carlton or some shit. This bunch of deliciously sweet grapes went for $1000 at a recent auction. For $1000, a hotel owner was able to procure 30 of the sweet, succulent grapes that are a little smaller than a CamBall. These just weren’t any grapes though: The Ruby Roman variety, developed by the Ishikawa Prefecture Agricultural Research Center, was sold to an... Continue reading
That’s One Huge Lighter
This lighter not only is huge but it tells all the ladies that you’re stacked. It’s able to light a blunt in a heartbeat and it can’t fit in your tight jean pockets. No matter, because this lighter says it all. You could light a lady’s cigarette by flipping out the huge one but why not just stuff it in your pants? You’ll get laid either way with this Zippo. Link
Gigantic Fabric Keyboard
With a design reminiscent of the Nintendo Power Pad, this DIY fabric keyboard seems to keep the basic idea down pat. Off come your shoes and in Tom Hanks fashion, you walk over to the letter you want to type and give it a tap. It uses the popular Arduino processor to control the letters, which are made out of conductive fabric and perforated foam. The keyboard was found on Flickr user Maurin’s page and he certainly seems to be... Continue reading
