New York City Hotel Tiles Floor With Pennies

pennyfloor1

As far as tiling goes, this has got to be the most ostentatious floor paneling we’ve come across. The Standard Grill Hotel in New York has a uniquely tiled floor. The floor is tiled with thousands of shiny pennies. Real, authentic, actual pennies.

You might miss it if you don’t look close, but I guess it’s the small things which can make a huge difference. Now if I want to impress anyone I’m going to have to tile my floor with silver dollars. Thanks for fucking it up for the rest of us.

Kung-Fu Companion Kicks Butt And Takes Names

Desktop companions are an integral piece to everyone’s computer room feng shui. Now that doesn’t mean you need to settle for some boring chameleon that does nothing more than let his tongue loose every once and awhile.

Instead, why not try the Kung-Fu Boy? He’ll kick and chop his way into your heart all while making the appropriate sound effects, of course. A built-in sound sensor alerts the boy of unsuspecting foe for whom to chop at. It’s a shame they’re only available in Japan for $18, a price that makes the other desktop companions seem like penny pinchers.
