Possibly the owner of the greatest and most influential mustache in the history of art, Salvador Dali was a master of his medium. His life was the arts. One of his most famous works, The Persistance of Memory, shows a series of melting and morphing clocks. This wall timepiece is designed to invoke a similar feel of surrealism and mutated time.

We aren’t what you might call the most cultured of people on the web. We have our fair share of poopy and pee-pee jokes. But Dali is no laughing matter. Even though it’ll be pretty funny watching visitors becoming nauseous as they check the time.

People sometimes have anxiety over leaving their druggy relatives at home, worried that they will either light the house on fire or cause neighbors to call the police because of the loud and incessant Grateful Dead music seeping from their bedroom window. Just plop them down in front of the Lamp In A Bulb light, and they’ll be amazed for hours, unable to decide if they are seeing some surreal product or still on an acid trip.

The Lamp In A Bulb is an awesome design for a light that would look great anywhere in the house, except maybe the laundry room. Designers named it the Blow Table Lamp, but this name doesn’t seem to live up to the hype, so I personally decided to change the name myself for posting purposes. Hey, ever heard of creative license? Well, we’re drowning in it. The lamp is made of chrome and brushed aluminum, encased in a clear crystal globe (probably not a good idea to leave around children or stoners….oops, forget about what we said earlier). Props to Studio Italia for the awesome design, fo sho. — Andrew Dobrow

A self-taught surreal video producer, Koichiro Tsujikawa was commissioned by Panasonic for the 2004 Olympics to make this forgotten video. Tsujikawa’s videos are always unique. He is also known for doing music videos for electronic band, Cornelius, with stop-motion video effects. This video was just too cool to pass up. Check out this half runner, half motorized computer thing. We like the stretches at the end when the machine transforms into a steam blower. — Andrew Dobrow
