Mmmm!: God Of War III's Nutritional Info

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:00:09 -0500

This is a little graphic depicting God of War III's nutritional facts as imagined by Gary Hodges. And, as expected, it's pretty much everything you need to grow up strong and healthy. Suck it, Flintstones vitamins! Just kidding -- you know how you can't open a Tic-Tac box without eating them all? I'm the same with with Flintstone vitamins. Which is exactly why ~~I've turned orange and started pissing gravel~~ I'm 30-feet tall and stronger than six Paul Bunyans. No, eight.

TV Remote With Integrated Bottle Opener

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:00:04 -0500

The Clicker is a universal remote with a bottle opener attached. I don't know how expensive they are but I do know much it would cost to duct tape a regular bottle opener to my existing remote, so free is kind of my price point right now. And free, as you may know, is what this is supposed to be the land of. BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS. Know what I'm sayin'? Legalize it. Haha, what do you mean I'm in LA and I can just go get a weed card? WAIT, WHAT?! Slow down you're blowing my mind. Bottle opener remote is perfect for couch potato beer snobs [dvice]

It Was Only A Matter Of Time....

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:00:05 -0500

Before a major news outlet misspelled Large Hadron Collider. Thankfully, it was the Telegraph and not a really respectable news source like Geekologie. Because boy would I have been red in the face! No, no I wouldn't have been. I would have worn that shit like a badge. A badge of awesome. Now collide those wieners! The Typo We've Been Waiting For [gizmodo] Thanks to Liz, who doesn't even want to know what happens when two giant blimpies collide. Magic, Liz, magic.

Steampunk'd Princess Leia And Boba Fett

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 13:00:05 -0500

This is a picture of a steampunk'd Princess Leia and Boba Fett from deviantARTist onewhospinsflags. Good lookin', onewhospinsflags. Say, you don't happen to know onewhospinshislittlepeeneraroundlikeahelicopter, do you? Because I sat next to him on the bus once. I think he should pay for my drycleaning. onewhospinsflags' DeviantART Thanks to sham, who once created a steampunk'd Star Trek costume but the coal-powered pants warmer caught fire and burnt it all up.

I'd Feel Much Safer If Catman Were Around

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 22:00:10 -0500

Catman, get it? It's a take on Batman, but with cat instead of bat because, I don't know if you could tell or not, but that's a cat in the picture. I know, I know, the mask threw me off too. rVm41[izit] Thanks to Rob, who once put a Robin mask on a blue jay but then it flew into a window.

What Does That Even Mean?: Large Hadron Collider "Sets 3.5-Trillion Volt Energy Record"

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:00:49 -0500

I don't know, but it doesn't sound good. I better finish my rocket double-time before this thing goes and swallows up the solar system. WHO'S COMING WITH ME? I have room for three. Plus snacks.

Operators of the world's largest atom smasher on Friday ramped up their massive machine to three times the energy ever previously achieved, in the run-up to experiments probing the secrets of the universe. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, said beams of protons circulated at 3.5 trillion electron volts in both directions around the 17-mile tunnel housing the Large Hadron Collider under the Swiss-French border at Geneva. The next major development is expected in a few days when CERN starts colliding the beams in a new round of research to examine the tiniest particles and forces within the atom in hopes of finding out more about how matter is made up.

Not to put a damper on your weekend, but we're all as good as dead. So you know what that means -- drink like you've never drank before!* *Geekologie accepts no responsibility for alcohol poisoning but will take all the credit if you manage to score some awkward, drunken sex.

Batman Stabbing A Shark With A Lightsaber

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:00:51 -0500

Dammit Bruce, that's not how you hold a lightsaber. You're likely to cut your own Bat-peen off stabbing around like that. I'm serious, one time I was swinging around a rope bone for my dog like that and walloped myself in the change purse. I managed to waddle to the bathroom and drop my shorts just as I passed out. Check out artist Andrew Zubko's official site here. George Washington vs a tiger? How about Batman with a lightsaber vs a shark? [iheartchaos] Thanks to JFreezy, FelipeMago, Chessa, silvermidnight, Marty McFly, Ben and Matt, who would have liked to see some giant octopus action in there for good measure.

Darth Vader Ad For The WWF's 'Earth Hour'

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:00:22 -0500

For those of you not familiar with the WWF, ~~it's all fake. It's basically two musclebound douchebags dancing around in choreographed homoeroticdom. Don't get me wrong, I still love it, it's just not real like all the mullets want to believe.~~ the World Wide Fund For Nature focuses on issues regarding conservation, research and restoration of the environment. And they encourage everyone to turn off their non-essential lights for Earth Hour on March 27th from 8:30 to 9:30PM to raise awareness for climate change. Which, whether you even believe in climate change or not, you've got to admit I am gonna go to the beach tomorrow. Youtube Thanks to naas, who's keeping his lights out for the entire month because he can't pay the electric bill.

They're Not Magic?!: How Grenades Work

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:00:12 -0500

This is a little informational graphic explaining how grenades work. And don't worry -- you're not the only one who thought there was an explosive genie trapped inside. I'm right here with you. Which reminds me, did I ever tell you about the time a group of ruthless terrorists lobbed a Molotov cocktail at me? I caught it, pulled the flaming rag out and chugged that shit like grape soda. Just sayin', you ever seen terrorists cry? I have. How Grenades Work [gizmodo]

Braille Box: A Rubik's Cube For The Blind

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:00:01 -0500

This is a Rubik's Cube for the blind. Or for people who like screaming and smashing Rubik's Cubes. I'm one of the latter. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, YOU STUPID LITTLE TOY?! I OUGHTA TAKE YOUR F***ING STICKERS OFF AND REARRANGE THEM. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT? Actually, you know what? *smash* THAT'S WHAT. Braille Rubik's cube looks downright torturous [dvice]

Suck It, Bendy(!), There's A New Straw In Town

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:00:21 -0500

If you're anything like me you drink out of your hands or directly from a container because you don't have any glasses. I know, I know, we're classy. But for those of you that prefer to look ridiculous, there's the $7 Trunk Sipper, a straw that makes you look like an elephant. If elephants were people with ridiculous novelty straws.

Quench your elephant sized thirst with our Elephant Trunk Sipper Straw. It's a soft flexible elephant trunk with a plastic straw embedded inside! Great for kids, adults and ridiculous photo ops! Did you know that an adult elephant can drink up to 50 gallons of water in just one day?! That's 800 8oz glasses for human-folk. Elephants must have to pee all the time!

First of all, elephants don't have to pee all the time because their bladders are the size of kiddy pools. A kiddy pool I wouldn't want to splash around in, if you catch my drift. Why do children always have to shit in the wave pool?

Lincoln, What Happened To Your Beard, Bro?

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:00:45 -0500

Geekologie Reader Edward J, being the intrepid lil' experimenter that he is, mixed-and-matched the president's faces on currency notes because he wanted to know what Honest Abe would look like without an honest beard. Kissable, that's how.

A while ago I was having a slow day at work, so i started to organizing the registers money to make closing the store easier, and i noticed that most of the presidents heads are scaled to the exact same size. Excluding the $1, $10, and $100's, you can fold them and mix and match their hair, noses, and beards. I scanned all of the best combinations I could come up with, and thought you might find them Geekologie worthy.

I'm kinda digging Abe in the top bill with all the swoopy hair. Now that's a mane. No, you're the mane! See what I did there? I'm full of shit like that. Hit the jump for two more versions and another link to Edward's Flickr with even more.

Pedaling 'Dem Bones: A Skeleton Bicycle

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:00:30 -0500

Artist and Geekologie Reader Eric Tryon went and made himself a skeletal bicycle. It's fully functional and the arms and head move whenever you make a turn. Plus, it looks like you're humping a demon skeleton, so ghosts won't mess with you. Hit the jump for a closeup.

New Lip Gloss Created That Changes Color When A Woman Is Amorous (Read: Horny)

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:30:11 -0500

There's a new lip gloss in town, ladies. And it lets men know when you're feeling, how should I say -- corndoggy.

The Mood Swing Emotionally Activated Lip Gloss was invented in California. A spokesman for makers Too Faced said: "The colours change depending on your emotional state." The saucy slap changes from clear to deep crimson as the wearer feels frisky. It works by reacting with a girl's body chemistry. And each £12 tube comes with a colour chart so men can work out how randy their partner is feeling.

Listen ladies, if you really want to let guys know when you're feeling, how should I say -- penis-y, you don't need lip gloss. What you need is....actually, I don't know what you need, I've never been with a girl. THEY SHOULD WEAR SIGNS. Sex? Read my lips [thesun] via New Lipstick Changes Colors When Ladies Are Horny [gizmodo] Thanks to Closet Nerd, whose mood ring is always the good color. Green. Or blue. Whichever's better.

You're Doing It Wrong!: Speeding 18-Wheeler Pushing Car Down The Highway Sideways

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:30:24 -0500

This is a video of a speeding tractor trailer in Yorkshire, England pushing a car down the highway oblivious THAT IT HAS AN AUTOMOBILE STUCK UNDER ITS BUMPER. Just watching it I shit my pants for the car's driver.

The owners of the lorry, Cheshire-based Arclid Transport, and West Yorkshire Police are investigating the incident. A spokesman from the company said: "There was an incident between a car and one of our vehicles in January. He added that he believed the female driver of the Clio had not been injured in the incident. The company said the lorry driver was sent home on Wednesday, when the video emerged on the internet. He added that the accident happened on 13 January and police had investigated, but to date no action had been taken against the lorry driver.

Wow. That looks pretty scary. And by scary I mean I love how the woman in the car is riding her brakes, LIKE THAT'S GONNA DO ANYTHING. Women drivers, amirite? (Spoken like a guy who hit a parked car two days ago) Youtube Thanks to Bongo, who once pushed an 18-wheeler down the road without noticing because he drives a monster truck.
