Feb 9 2010 Culinary Masterpiece: A Taco Bell Cheesy Double Beef Burrito Stuffed Sausage Log
Some guy went and stuffed a sausage roll with a Cheesy Double Beef Burrito from Taco Bell. Sure it's grade D (for delicious) meat, but, wait -- where's the bacon wrap? Pfft, and I almost called you a genius.

Thanks to Jessica, who once stuffed a burrito with four kinds of bacon. Four kinds?! Was one of them Canadian?
Feb 9 2010 Michael Jackson Commemorative Hard Drive
Available February 24th for a scant $123, this commemorative Michael Jackson "This is It" hard drive is a monster piece of how the hell did this ever become a real product? And to think I couldn't find a single manufacturer willing to roll out my line of Geekologie laptops. I dunno, something about the 1.21 jiggawatts processor. Amateurs.
Under the hood, you get a S2 Portable HXMU050DA, with 500 GB capacity on USB 2.0. Oh, and a DRM locked copy of This Is It. Don't worry, you'll also get a little voucher with the activation code you need to watch it. Heaven help you if you want to burn it to a DVD to watch anywhere other than on your computer.
Who the hell would ever buy that? I know people love Michael Jackson and all, but still, You gotta draw the line somewhere. And that line should be right after MJ bobble heads.

Thanks to Van, who was shocked to find out it doesn't come preloaded with the boys section of a JC Penny catalog. WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA!
Feb 9 2010 Print Them Out!: Star Wars Valentine's Cards
This is a little gallery of Star Wars Valentines created by freelance illustrator James Stowe. He made one for each episode of Star Wars, so there are six in total. I particularly liked this one and the Han Solo/Greedo one, but they're all pretty cute. Per the artist himself:
I wanted to show you some valentines I made for my son's kindergarden class this year. He likes old Peanuts comicstrips and Star Wars... so these are kind of a mix of both.
Oh man, these bring back memories. I remember in Mrs. Cox's third grade class we each took a paper lunch bag and decorated them with hearts and cupids and then taped them to the front of our desks to accept Valentines. I didn't get any. Not a single one -- not even from the teacher. And that, my friends, is why I'm a serial killer.
Hit the jump for the other five and another link to James' website.

Feb 9 2010 Star Trek: The Sexed Generation
This is an older compilation of Star Trek clips that, out of context, sound incredibly sexual. Actually, in context they sound super sexual too. Yay, freaky space-sex. RED ROCKET RED ROCKET!
This is an expansion of a short set of clips that Gene Roddenberry had put together after the second season, that set was just about 2 minutes and mostly bloopers, but the few suggestive shots were enough to make me wonder what a full version would look like, so enjoy!
Oh man, that was hot. Granted not as hot as my laptop's heat exhaust, but I'm tryin' to cook my meat. Which, medium-rare -- anybody?
Thanks to Jacob and oysterboy, who can only communicate in the language of love. You should've read their tips, I swooned!
Feb 9 2010 But What's He Competing In?: Newspaper Reports Pedobear Is Going To The Olympics
A Polish newspaper wrote an article about the Winter Olympics and included this graphic, which depicts Pedobear as one of the games' mascots. Which, wow, who knew Poles could run a printing press?
...apparently what happened here is that someone Photoshopped Pedobear into a piece of artwork containing the various cuddly characters that some artist dreamed up to represent the upcoming Winter Olympics. While putting the article together, it would appear that some photo editor got his hands on the wrong version of the artwork, didn't realize it, and the image ran in the paper.
Listen, this sort of thing happens all the time. You don't even want to know how often I accidentally upload naked pics for Geekologie articles. Thank God I prevew all the articuls before postign them. Haha, I said preview, not spell check.

Thanks to Ford and Matt, who will be on the lookout for Pedo at the ice skating rink.
Feb 9 2010 Dodge Throws In The Towel, Makes Challenger In 'Furious Fuscia' For Men
Because when you know you're going down you might as well do it in a big pile of flaming pink shit, Dodge has decided to make 'Furious Fuscia' Challengers and market them to men.
Chrysler Group is trying to better define its various brands and products as it attempts to claw back lost market share following years of slumping sales and financial cutbacks that ultimately ended in bankruptcy.
Photographs don't really do justice to Furious Fuchsia, Chrysler spokesman Dan Ried insisted, while acknowledging that fuchsia might seem an odd color choice for a male-oriented car."I saw it in person and it actually looks pretty cool," he said. "It's tough to capture how it looks in the daylight."
No, it's not hard to capture. It looks pinkish-purple. Now listen, Dodge, I'm not one to tell somebody how to run their business, but you're doing it wrong. You want to succeed in auto making I've got two words for you: Lean manufacturing HOVER CARS. Trust me, put all your eggs in that basket.

Don't do it Admiral! Also, is that a womp rat? Because I don't know if I told you but I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home. Yep, yep, yep, and have a thing for my sister (I watched her shower once, it's true).

Feb 8 2010 Google To Add Store Views To Google Maps?
Allegedly Google plans to feature the interiors of participating retail stores on Google Maps. Because, well, I'm not really sure why. Something to do with controlling the world though, that's a given.
The report comes from Search Engine Land, which was contacted by a New York company called Oh Nuts. Apparently the almond-monger recently got a visit from camera-toting Google guys, who photographed their entire store, six feet at a time, in every direction.
So essentially, you'd be able to see a storefront in Street View, click on it, and check out the interior for inventory, cleanliness, layout, etc.
Interesting, Google, but you know what would be even more helpful? Live webcams in Victoria's Secret dressing rooms. That would be huge. And speaking of huge -- go ahead and throw some in the plus-size stores as well. I LIKE 'EM THICK! I'm serious -- if I can't stand comfortably in one leg of a woman's panties I....throw that pair back and try another dryer.

Feb 8 2010 Pics Or You Lie: Last Night Shuttle Launch Carries Viewing Portal To Space Station
The last scheduled night launch of a space shuttle (besides mine) went down early this morning, and carried a very important payload. A pickle jar full of my sperms? No. A viewing portal to be attached to the International Space Station (sorry for getting your hopes up, aliens).
On board Endeavor (STS-130) is Cupola, a relatively huge bay window to be attached to the International Space Station (ISS) that will give astronauts the most magnificent view ever seen from space (short of taking a spacewalk). Expect great pictures from this 1.6-ton behemoth -- it's 9.7 feet wide and 5 feet long with seven windows all around, including a 31.5-inch circular window, the largest ever flown into space.
Hey, that's cool too. Why start a colony of alien GW's when you can take pretty pictures of earth? Besides every good reason you could possibly think of, including, wait -- I wouldn't have to pay child support for all them freaky alien kids, would I? Because I'll fight that shit all the way to the Supreme Court Maury. I AM NOT THE FATHER.

Feb 8 2010 OLD!: Robocop Selling Fried Chicken In Korea
You ever wanted to see an old-ass Korean commercial featuring Robocop hocking fried chicken strips? You're sick as f*** if you have. But this is it anyways, because I cater to you sickos. With a bowtie and silver platter and the whole nine yards. But if you think for one second I won't spike your drink, you've got another thing coming. Namely, a spiked drink. And then I'm gonna gulp it down right in front of you. HIYO, gettin' crunk on the job! Haha, what do you mean I'm fired?
Thanks to victor, who doesn't buy any products endorsed by robots. Buy human!
