If you’re wondering how George Washington Carver discovered three hundred uses for peanuts, you’re wasting your time. Everyone knows there is only one use for peanuts and that’s the creation of delicious peanut butter. By the end of the month, this peanut butter machine will be available for you to crush up your favorite shell nuts into creamy rich nut butter.  Mmm - nut butter. Who knows how many double-ended jars you could fill with an endless supply of homemade nut butter and with your MacGyver-skills, you could come up with some interesting blends of nuts.

You could open your own shop that sells custom nut butter and if the name hasn’t already been taken, you could call your store, “Totally Nuts For Nut Butter”.  You might be thinking, is $50 dollars a decent price for a peanut butter machine? Are you fucking kidding me? I’d put my house on a second mortgage to get a hold of one of these!

This is one tiny-ass car. It truly puts cars like the MINI and SmartCar to shame in terms of size and fuel economy. There isn’t much info on the M-112, though one can easily see it’s a small one-seater that resembles a futuristic go-kart. Don’t hold your breath if you’re thinking of getting one, as it was specially designed for the Shell Eco Marathon race in France.

The vanilla colored skins of the Xbox 360 get very boring extremely fast. True, the actual appearance of a console isn’t that important when your knee deep in dead bodies you just slaughtered, but the point is that a console that takes up so much of your time should look badass too.

This chrome replacement shell adds a nice hint of class and coolness to your otherwise plain casing, while also keeping a more clean cut look then the Kill Bill mods of yore. Those of you who keep track of this type of thing probably remember the insane popularity of the PS3 colored mods that gaming and tech blogs alike were going frantic about (including us).  Not only do these babies add more shine to your style then the rims on Kanye West’s cars, but also makes as a nice little mirror to check your hair if by some rare chance you have a lady friend coming over.

NCS says that the installation is easy enough to do yourself. For $49, a chrome finish is a nice touch to add to a plain part of your life and would be a great companion piece to the equally futuristic Power Glove Wiimote Mod. — Andrew Dobrow
