Remember how your parents were always trying to softly “suggest” that you get a haircut and “your own damn place.” I’m not an psychologist, but I think what they were really trying to suggest is that they wanted to see some independence emerge from your man-child mentality. So, you’ve finally moved out, but moved right in with a woman who ...

It’s just like in the movies! So simple, yet so effective. Have you recently been exploded or killed by a Decepticon? You, too, might be in need of CPR. Exactly zero chest compressions required. Link [via]

Designer Ramm ND created these awesome Lingerie Cans. If you happen to be double fisting this brew, place the two cans together like so, sit back and admire the view. Now those are some nice cans. Link

Seagate, in partnership with MusicSkin, has released 161 fitted skins for their FreeAgent Go external hard drives. Seagate is on a mission. Launching the project “Pimp My Drive,” users can now add a dose of personality to their oh-so-impersonal hard drives, which already happen to be all colorful-like anyway. $20 earns you your very own skin selection. Does John Lennon ...

I’m not quite sure of what city this awesome Darth Vader/Misfits Skull wheatpaste graffiti was found, though we do know it was on Lake Street in some city, somewhere. Although the two are unrelated, it sort of works out great. Children of the late 70s are going to be really happy with this one. Link [via]

Spotted at, of all places, the Oregon State Fair, this LEGO Yoda model just about made me shit bricks. Let it be known that my fecal bricks rarely take the form of Star Wars characters. My crap prefers Futurama for some reason. You haven’t lived until you’ve crapped out an accurate model of Professor Farnsworth. Surprisingly, Yoda only took second ...

I love handling dog feces just as much as the next guy, but it’s the smell I can’t stand. Using my hands, the smell gets a little to close to my nostrils for comfort. The Shoe Shovel eliminates any hand-to-dog-feces contact, leaving you, if all works out, relatively scentless. I know, I know, there’s nothing quite as fulfilling as holding ...

Disney has already scooped up Marvel and their massive catalog 5,000 comic book characters. But what if Disney moved onto greener pastures and started scooping up toy companies as well? If Hasbro was picked up by Disney, we might start seeing plenty of more toys like this. The Donald Duck Transformer is both nightmarish (as you contemplate the possible future) ...

One of our favorite holidays is coming up on September 19th. While technically everyday should be “Talk Like a Pirate Day” for us, September 19th is the day the world comes together and arghs and urghs in harmony. In celebration of this kickass holiday and as an entry for September’s Mini Build Design Contest, Flickr user polywen created this awesome ...

Despite popular belief, chemical engineers weren’t spawned from a mixture of radioactive materials, but they actually have a birthday like us normal people. During these birthdays they like to ingest sugary spongy material through their mouth holes, this material being known as “cake.” This Chemistry Cake was made for a chemical engineer at Nintendo, who promptly started making guttural noises ...
