While Han might have shot first, he certainly didn’t pull off a miracle to keep himself carbonite-free. The Han Solo in Carbonite image has become one of the many iconic images from the Star Wars films. And now, you can be a part of it. Designer Paul Pape creates custom made-to-order Carbonite sculptures, replacing Han Solo with a custom model ...

SomethingAwful asked their readers to recreate classic movie posters in the spirit of adult entertainment using the power of Photoshopped images and perversion, two of the most abundant resources on the internet. The results were both vast and insanely funny. Here are a few of our favorites but there are tons more over at the source. Have any ideas of ...

Prepare the Juicer! This isn’t your grandfather’s bubblegum. In fact, this isn’t even the flavor-shifting Stride Shift. Scientists are inching closer and closer to creating a gum which offers the experience of a three-course meal, much like the gum seen in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by using manipulated nanoparticles. Researchers claim that time-release nanostructures within the gum might be ...

Banksy, perhaps the most influential and acclaimed street artist of all-time, has officially made it to the mainstream. Solely responsible for making graffiti a respected art form, the anonymous Banksy directed the iconic opening theme and couch gag for The Simpsons. And it’s a wonder that 20th Century Fox approved it for broadcast. Featuring Banksy’s trademark dark humor and social ...

A week or so ago, an amazingly striking (no pun intended) photograph of Tiger Woods shooting a golf ball straight at a photographer went through-the-roof viral within a matter of hours.

Don’t be confused. If you look like John Belushi and want some miracle technique for achieving The Situation-esque rock hard abs, look else ware (you need special software for that). The only thing that’s going to get you close to your goal is hard work. But what Abs in a Box does promise is more definition and even a thinning ...

Everything that you can find in a phone book can be found on the Internet. That and much, much more. Yet, every year, without fail, phone books are delivered to most people in the United States. Thousands upon thousands of phone books are thrown out every year as the new books arrive in the mail. Alex from Shedworking decided to ...

While your 30 kitties might not mind that you roam around the house in a pair of bloomers and nothing else. And they don’t mind that you only shower once a week (as long you as you don’t lift up your arms.) The outside world isn’t so understanding. Your babies are your only true friends. Unfortunately, you have to leave ...

We’ve been celebrating Halloween for 2000 years. Originally inspired by pagan traditions, the trick-or-treat holiday has evolved into a night of scares and sugar, with a complete lack of religious inclinations. To be honest, I barely knew anything about Halloween before reading this infographic. I never knew the incredible commercial success Halloween offers to retailers. But it makes sense. Tons ...

Just because you don’t have the money for a car doesn’t mean you can’t ride around your native village in style. Riding a donkey with a stereo system is sort of the third-world equivalent of driving around in a brand new Mercedes, except smellier. And I’m not sure, but I’m pretty confident that cars don’t leave behind little piles of ...
