Sure, Why Not?: A Giant Guitar Boat
Like the saying goes, "when the going gets tough, the tough build a giant freaking guitar boat and cruise around in that mother like PUT PUT PUT". Am I right? I'm wrong. Anyway, this is Indie rocker Josh Pyke taking a fully functional guitar boat for a spin in the music video for his song "Make You Happy". I tried to find the video...

Added To X-Mas List: Kota The Triceratops
Kota the Triceratops is a robot toy for children that "has 11 different movements and reacts to touch and sound." The 37-pound behemoth can even support a child rider up to 60-pounds. Unfortunately, the dino doesn't actually walk, so you'll still have to get your children to fetch your beer the old fashioned way, on a tricycle. Suggested retail price is between $300-$400, but...

Is It Too Late?: I'm Running For President!
I'm running for president. Click here to watch the amazing story of my rise to political prominence. Then go here to make the video with your own name. Or any other name.

The I-Foot: Toyota's New Mobility Suit
I don't really have any more information on this robotic suit except the i-foot is a terrible name, it was made by Toyota, and appears to be the lovechild of a MechWarrior that stuck it to a Tyrannasaurus Rex (wish I could have been there). Oh, and two thumbs up on the choreography, Toyota, I love the theater. Okay, strip clubs. Toyota Mobility Suit...

Revenge CD Annoys Neighbors, Yourself
The Revenge CD from Fred is a CD packed with 20 of the most annoying sounds ever, from unhappy dog, to violin practice, to house party. The $7 CD even comes with a pair of earplugs, so you don't have to listen to the racket. Clever, but I can't help but think there are better ways of seeking revenge on neighbors. Including, but not...

Star Wars: A New (Cardboard) Hope
This is fan-made video of Star Wars: A New Hope made entirely out of cardboard, a hubcap, and fifteen minutes. Truthfully, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen, but that's only because I walked in on an orgy in the craft room of Silver Pines Retirement Home. Youtube Thanks to Abraham, who once tried to recreate Jurassic Park out of cardboard but I...

Human Vs. Zombie Tag A Growing Trend On College Campuses, Having Sex Declining
Apparently Human Vs. Zombie Tag (HvZ) is a growing trend on college campuses. An HvZ game typically involves hundreds of students and runs 24 hours a day for days on end; dwindling numbers of humans try to fend off and outlast growing legions of zombies. The rules are fundamentally simple: Zombie tags human, human becomes a zombie. Unlike movie zombies, with shambling walks and...

Cool!: Sound Chasers Make Music
Sound Chasers are little cars that ride on strips of vinyl records that have been cut and connected together to form a track, playing the music as they cruise along. Awesome idea, but they sound like a cacophony. Going a step further and actually making a track that produces a good beat would be have been nice. But like most things in life, you...

Used Condoms Reborn As Hair/Rubber Bands

Questionable: Disappearing Pool Table
Somebody went and built an elevator for their pool table so they can use the space it would normally take up when not in use. It had to have cost a fortune, probably even more than building an addition on the house. Which is what I would have done. Or, I dunno, gone to the bar. Youtube Thanks to Ian, who racks and cracks...

Prevent Drunk Emailing: Google Mail Goggles
Google recently unveiled a Gmail application that may help prevent drunk emailing. When in use, the program requires a potential emailer to solve a few mathematical problems before the message can be sent. Pretty clever, now make something similar for cell phones and we'll be set. Or you can just subscribe to The Geekologie Writer's method of drunk messaging prevention -- dropping your phone...

Star Wars Hoodies Are Out Of This Universe!

The Shower Power: No More Slipping And Breaking Your (Most Precious) Bone
The Shower Power is a powerful suction cup with two handles. It was designed to provide a safehold while you're having sex in the shower. Or in the car. Or on the side of a building. I couldn't find out how much it costs but it can't be much. And seriously, can you really put a price on personal safety anyways? Yes, about $8....

AT-AT Fail: Because Sometimes Standing Up Is Just Too Damn Hard
Oh man, that's one of my favorite scenes from the movie. The snow, the AT-ATs, all the little ships flying around PEWing their brains out. And then the trip-up. This AT-AT Fail shirt costs $20.80 and comes in a variety of colors. Collect them all! Just kidding. Buy one! Or don't. I don't freaking care, I didn't make them. On a side note, if...

Can you believe that title? I'm a freaking idiot, true story. But I do like these ice cubes. The Bullet Ice Cube Tray makes ice cube rounds that look like AK-47 bullets and costs $13.25. Unfortunately, you have to add your own gunpowder if you want to fire them. But, as an added bonus, the bullets will melt before the police arrive. The perfect...

Tallest Lego Tower Record Already Beaten
Sometimes victory is fleeting. You have to realize that you can't have the tallest LEGO tower forever, and that some jerks from Vienna are probably gonna trump you within months of the feat. And that's exactly what happened. Hundreds of children helped construct the tower to celebrate the 100 Years of Friends of Children (WTF?) festival. And you know what? The kids didn't even...

Mega Man 3 Song, In Extended Remix Form!
Remember the Mega Man 3 song we posted a few weeks ago? Well now Brentalfloss (the man responsible) has made an extended remix. This is it, and the new content starts halfway through. It has some bad words in it though, so it may be NSFW, but it's definitely SFACSF (safe for a college sausage fest). Youtube Thanks to Brentalfloss, the man behind the...
