Back in the ’80s and ’90s, the de facto water gun was the Super Soaker. I myself had both the SS 50 and SS 100 guns, including a few extra water tanks. My friends and I would stake out my backyard, gunning for an hours-long fight to the death. Hasbro is re-releasing the original Super Soaker 50 to celebrate its ...

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]

Pranks are always good for a laugh. Plunk down $23 and you’ll score eight of these self-adhesive PVC water droplets. Stick ’em on someone’s car window and they’ll think King Kong was busy taking a piss nearby. Link

Embargo? Ha! I laugh at the very notion of withholding back an opinion for a specified period of time! Or at least PreThinking.com does. I have a feeling these guys are breaking a few NDAs here and there by posting a full review of the Pre, but hey, not our problem. While this particular review tends to kiss ass to ...

You don’t even need to see a picture of LEGO sunglasses to know they’re going to come styled as a throwback to the 1980s. But did you know you can snap on bricks to the sides? Nice. Customize them to your liking by building antenna on each side and head off to the mall. All the chicks hanging out by ...

True to the original, this captain’s throne is meant for only the true Trekkie who can really appreciate the finer details in life. Just don’t expect to ...

Soccer, football, futbol, tomato, tomahto (who the hell says tomahto anyway? Is it you ya friggen Canadians?) Whichever name you choose for the sport, there is no denying that it’s a fun game. If you’ve ever been in a situation where you wish you had grabbed a ball before you left home, Marti Guixe’s Football Tape might be a nice ...

Spotted at BKLYN Designs 2009, this Tennis Ball Chair (oddly not the first piece of tennis ball furniture we’ve seen) would fit awesome into the decor of a sports bar or bachelor pad. Sure, not the manliest sport ever, but a chair made out of footballs would hardly be comfortable. Link

I can understand poverty. I’m a two-bit blogger who lives in public housing. But what I can’t understand is why a woman with so many children that she apparently “didn’t know what to do” with all of them, would live in a damn shoe. Couldn’t she find something that was a little less likely to cause her children to get ...
