Skulls fascinate us. Whether it be skulls made of paper to skulls made of melted cassette tapes, we can never seem to get enough. That’s why we dig Indian artist Subodh Gupta and his art, a lot of which involves recycling old pots and pans from the kitchen. For the Frieze art fair in London, he assembled a load of old kitchen utensils and forged this bodacious skull just in time for Halloween.

Look at that kid in the pic. He’s afraid to touch it. What a pansy. Man, if it’s that effective at in sighting fear in to the hearts of children, this is one decoration I could totally use for my front lawn.

Halloween is upon us come the end of the month, folks. I hope you have a hell of a costume ready. I was going to go as Levi Johnston, the self-proclaimed “fuckin redneck” that knocked up Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s daughter. That fell through so I might just go as a skeleton. I’ll already have the one up on the ladies ’cause I snagged a pair of these sweet socks. See? It’s almost as if I’m looking at real skeleton legs!

$20, your pride and your chances of getting laid Halloween night.

Heating issues can take a huge toll on your computer’s hardware. I mean, take a look at this Xbox 360. That thing is FUBAR. The team at Antec are aware of the many heating issues people have with their computers, so they’ve built the world’s first open air PC case.

The Antec Skeleton packs a 92mm fan in the front and a three speed 250mm fan (with multicolor LED customization) on top which ensures that there is no way in hell you’re overheating your computer. If anything, your computer will freeze while sitting in this thing. It’s almost like the Antec Nine Hundred, except it doesn’t keep produce fresh.

Want to creep everyone out this Thanksgiving? Order a set of these fine skeleton hand serving forks for only $50. They probably do a fantastic job at tossing salad and serving turkey with those long, boney fingers. I’m sure your relatives will be pleased with your antics when granny keels over in horror at the dinner table.

This is a material skeleton, living in a skeletal world. You can chastise me for the shitty Madonna pun, but don’t even think about giving artist Brian Dettmer any shit. He’s the guy who crafted this cassette tape skeleton. The only text I can make out is a big ARISTA Records logo and some tape called “Get The Knack.” It’s beautiful, but would look much better as a lamp.

The Skeleton Mouse might be designed a little on the morbid side. Hell, who are we kidding, it’s a mouse made to look like a decomposed corpse. Archaeologists and grave diggers alike will have a fun time with this one.

The species known as mousicus bonicus was thought to be long since extinct, but you can have a piece of prehistoric tech of your own if a product like this is ever mass-produced. (more…)
