Perfect for those confidential notes that call for being destroyed right after being read. The Amazon Kindling was created using a laser cutter. This reminds me of that famous holiday ditty: Amazon Kindling on an open fire Jeff Bezos nipping at your nose (but mostly your wallet) Link [via]

You know that super awesome hiding place you chose for your extra house key? Everybody knows it’s there, seriously. What’s the point of hiding an extra house key under your doormat anymore? As far as your home security is concerned, you might as well advertise your transparency, maybe get a few brownie points for honesty and an oddly self-inflicted sense ...

Want the punching power of a knuckle duster with a little more style? Ditch the brass for these acrylic animal rings that will seriously mess up your opponent’s face upon contact.

If you’ve got $12 and a whole ‘lotta patience, you can score one of these colorful LEGO USB hubs from Korea. Four ports of fury and you can build with them! Why do all the good gadgets come from Asia? Americans always get the shaft, save for the iPhone. Link

Can’t you picture little pro-choice children demanding the chance to perform their own home abortions (Dick Cheney was a child around that time, right?). Fun! Pro-choice kids didn’t get ...

Oh, wait. Yeah, sorry. It’s a skateboard deck with a boombox painted on the bottom. Boy do I feel like a dumbass. At $60, it was hard to tell since both are priced accordingly. Link [via]

Fuck a dinosaur. That shit is old and outdated. Us 21st century jackasses need a way to show people millions of years from now what we were busy wasting our time on. Luckily, we have artist Christopher Locke, who creates pseudo-fossils out of concrete and sells them for exorbitant prices. Still, I’ll be happy that that the Sega Saturn can ...

Yup. Exactly what you probably thought. This is an Arduino made from paper instead of using a printed circuit board. Created by DIYer Guilherme, this Arduino is fully functional and is also the most inexpensive Arduino available. Want to design your own? Instructions are indeed available, my friend. Link [via]
