Safe For Work Porn Is Still Highly Questionable
Note: Possibly still NSFW This is an allegedly safe for work porno video. It's supposedly safe because they've cleverly covered up all the action with cartoons. I dare say I found it more stimulating than the real thing. Especially the pinball scene. RAWR! Diesel: SFW XXX [creativity-online] Thanks to Jonathan and Patricio, who, despite the tips, insist they're not perverts....

Sarah Palin Is All Ears In Corn Form!
Wheeler Farms, near Toledo, Ohio, created a Sarah Palin corn maze in a 16-acre field. As you can see, it looks like a pretty shitty maze. Sadly, that didn't stop me from getting lost and circling her lapel for two hours. A face from ears: Palin is carved into cornfield [boston] Thanks to Richard, who would look devilishly handsome as a corn maze....

Man Crosses English Channel With Jetpack
Yves "Fusion Man" Rossey successfully crossed the English Channel with a jetpack today. This is one small pew for man, one giant PEW PEW PEW for mankind. Rossy, a pilot who normally flies an Airbus airliner, crossed the 22 miles between Calais and Dover at speeds of up to 120 mph in 13 minutes, his spokesman said. Awesome.

Sleep Standing Up With The Vertical Bed
Artist Jamie O'Shea's Vertical Bed combines two of my favorite things: sleeping. Standing can go f*** itself, because I hate it. I like lying down. The Vertical Bed won't save you from poking and prodding, but with sunglasses on, noise-canceling headphones, a neck-pillow for comfort, and an umbrella to keep you dry, that's a pretty good start. The Vertical Bed will keep you upright thanks to hooks attached to...

Wait, What?: An Underwater Lake
So apparently there are lakes of super-saline water at the bottom of the ocean. During the Jurassic period the waters here were shallow and became cut off from the ocean. The area soon dried out, leaving a thick layer of salt and other minerals up to 8km thick. When ocean water returned after the region rifted apart, the super-saline layer at the bottom of the Gulf became an underwater...

Wicked Case Mod: Computers As Wall Art
Designer Fredrik Perman decided to jazz up the lobby of his new office with a little custom built computer casage. There are actually six computers in the setup, designed for serious rendering. The acrylic case doesn't have a top and sides to add some ventilation, and a battery of six, upward-blowing LED-lit fans keep everything cool. That monitor allows access to the render farm from the lobby (though there...

Metal Gear Solid Rubber Band Gun

Best iPhone Application EVER
paiTouch, an iPhone application created by Japanese blogger Technohippy, is a virtual breast. You can poke and prod it all you want and it kind of jiggles around. It's actually pretty crappy. You can test it out here, just click and drag the cursor around. I've got to admit: if this is what touching a booby is like, I'm not that excited about it anymore. Now a penis....JK! Virtual...

We're Saved!: LHC Shut Down Temporarily
The Large Hadron Collider won't be doing any colliding until next spring due to a magnet failure that allowed a ton of helium to leak out one of the tunnels. Cern said the most likely cause of the equipment failure was a faulty electrical connection between two of the accelerator's magnets. This connection melted during testing of the machine and caused a huge leak of super-cool helium. We're saved!...
