Let me tell you the fun I would have with this thing if I lived anywhere near a desert. I’d set up shop behind a sand dune on a frequently ridden ATV trail and just wait for the perfect moment to pop-up from my hidden spot, lift my gaderffii above my head and let out my best sand person roar. ...

Imagine living a life where the only thing you could eat was ungarnished, plain chicken for every single meal and nothing else. Then, you’ll have a better idea of what it’s like to live death as a zombie. The undead never get a free second to add a little variety into their diet. As soon as they crack open a ...

Eventually, people are going to get bored of this whole fake instrument gaming craze. Once these controllers are mastered, the people over at the Rock Band development lab are going to have to get creative. In the future, perhaps within the next decade or two, it’s possible that Rock Band could look a little something like this video. Hell, we’re ...

Much like the Weebles that wobble, but don’t fall down, the roly-poly light will never stay flat on the ground, no matter how hard you try or how badly you beat it. My other lamps never really put up a fight, which was fun at first and made me feel pretty macho, but got pretty boring relatively quick. Not only ...

While it’s true that for people with a poor equilibrium, sea life is impractical, but there are ways to live the seaman’s life without living on the sea. The Wall Tentacle, ...

You have no idea the jealousy your car is capable of. About 80% of all car accidents are caused by your vehicles spite for the way you’ve been treating it. Sure, I’ll take you to get a manicure. Trip to the salon? Sure, no problem. No problem at all. Though I must say it’s funny how you have all this ...

Former JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater caught the eye of the nation on August 9 when he made a grand exit from both the flight and his job. If you don’t know the story, the general premise is that drama queen Slater, according to his story, was driven to his breaking point by a disgruntled customer, at which point Slater ...

I blame this all on the princess. And partly on Steven King. But mostly on the princess. Look, don’t you think after the third or fourth time you were abducted you’d maybe start to consider a safer security system? You’ve driven the poor man crazy. All Mario wanted to do was finally retire from his days of princess rescuing and ...

In this perfectly produced homage to childhood obsession, designer Chris Walt created the Chewie & Han t-shirt, in honor of both Calvin & Hobbes and Star Wars. Walt is selling the shirt for $22 through redbubble. The shirt is available both with and without text. I can’t say I was a huge fan of Calvin & Hobbes when I was ...

A few weeks back we posted about a homemade pair of Back to the Future II style sneakers which were controlled through an Arduino microcontroller. The premise was good and so was the effort, but the motor on the back of the shoes was just too much of an eyesore to be practical. But we might be seeing a much ...
