Cosplay Friday!: Street Fighter's Chun Li

Ah, cosplay. I love it. And furplay, that's cool too. I think. So anyway, Francesca Dani is trying to give Jenni Källberg (aka the love of my life) a run for her cosplay money. And here she is as Chun-Li from Street Fighter. Looking good! Oh man, this reminds me -- remember when Street Fighter II came out for home consoles and you could... | More →

Zombie Tools: Weaponry For The Apocalypse

Zombie Tools sells accessories for the apocalypse. Namely swords. They currently have three models available: the Two-Handed Apocalax, Urban Bone Machete, Mark II, and the Two-Faced Bitch (I know one!). They run $375, $250, and $350, respectively. Oh shit, and they also sell novelty t-shirts. Because, lets face it, you can freaking forget about surviving the apocalypse without a catchy t-shirt. Hit the jump... | More →

Another Literal Music Video: Head Over Heels

This is another literal music video from the same guy that brought us A-Ha's Take On Me. Except now it's Tears For Fears and Head Over Heels. Jesus, music videos were freaking weird in the 80's. Thankfully we've gotten over that. Or have we? I don't know, I don't watch MTV anymore. Because I don't have cable. Or a TV. Or electricity. Or wat... | More →

Modular Plastic Vroom Vroom: A LEGO Ferrari

Apparently LEGO made a Ferrari to promote LEGO World in Holland. Per the google-y translated article: The Lego tends to be quite creative in their communication. Since the adhesive ground up operations in buildings. To promote the event Lego World in Holland was no different. The presenter of children's programs Leon Krijgsman parade through the streets of Amsterdam with a Ferrari made of Lego.... | More →

Crown 7 'Hydro' Smokeless Cigarette

Well Crown 7 is at it again, this time with a new smokeless cigarette, the Hydro ($80). What's so hydro about it eludes me, but it has something to do with water vapor. Anyway, like their other models, the device delivers nicotine but no smoke or carcinogens and is sadly not a bong. But you can "smoke" it anywhere. Like in the boy's room.... | More →

Magnet Case Keeps Your iPod Stuck To You, And Also, This Is How You Sell Products

The iStik is a $27 iPod case that has neodymium magnets on its two parts so you can stick it to your bikini or running shorts (one magnetic piece goes on the inside, case goes on the outside). Pretty clever. And also, based purely on the above imagery, I just bought a dozen --and I don't even own an iPod! Now that's how you... | More →

Apparently Optimus Is A Saints Fan Too

What's up with all my heroes being New Orleans Saints fans? First Master Chief, and now Optimus Prime. You'd think at least one of them would root for the Redskins or Steelers. But noooo, they're all New Orleans fans. Maybe it's Mardi Gras. Granted, loving boobs is a hero prerequisite. On a side note, I really am gonna be in New Orleans this weekend,... | More →

Three Teens Playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles In NYC Sewers Get Lost, Rescued

Three teenagers (15, 16, and 17) were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the New York City sewer system when they got separated from Master Splinter and ended up lost. "These three idiots were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wanted to go into the sewers," said one police source. "They were never in danger, just goofing off and being stupid." Never in danger... | More →

The Future Is Now, And Not What I Expected: Walking Powered Shoe Chargers

I hate walking. That's why I run. Or Hoveround (screw you Rascal!). But for those of you that don't mind, how about making the most out of your two legged transportation. NTT has developed a shoe that promises to charge your gadgetry while on the go. Their soles are filled with water, displaced as the wearer walks and forced through a tiny turbine. Current... | More →

New And Improved (But Still Creepy As Hell): Face Bank Is 4X Larger Than Original, Noisier

Face Banks are creepy as hell and I can't imagine why anybody would want one. Yet, they sell. It truly is a f***ed up world we live in. Anyway, the Mega Face Bank is four times the size of the original, and now makes burping sounds when it's NOMing your coinage. They ship in November for about $53, and I may just have to... | More →

I'll Never Be Cold Again!: A LEGO Radiator

Allegedly this is a real radiator called the Brick, designed by architect Marco Baxadonne and manufactured by Scirocco. No word on price, but I think we can all agree that money is no object when it comes to a LEGO radiator. Unless it's more than $60, in which case, f*** it, I'm going with DUPLO. Brick LEGO radiator keeps nerds warm [slipperybrick] Thanks to... | More →

Master Chief Loves Football, New Orleans

This is a New Orleans Saints Master Chief during week 6 of the NFL. Who knew Master Chief was such a diehard fan? Not I. Did you? And if you did, why didn't you tell me earlier? I like watching football, I like drinking beer. The chief and I could have been BFFs by now. Instead, he won't even return my texts. Love you,... | More →

FAKE!: In-Game Obama Political Ads

Apparently the Obama party actually did pay for in-game advertising in Burnout Paradise for the Xbox 360. But now, skilled Photoshopper Paul Tassi has gone and made eight more (FAKE) in-game Obama advertisements. That's GTA there, but hit the jump for some Portal, WoW, Gran Turismo, CoD, and MGS action. They were all very well done. But come election day, remember: regardless of who... | More →

Lesson: How To Haggle Succesfully On eBay

Wow, I don't even know what to say -- except I'll give you 10 minutes with my sister for free shipping. eBay Pimps [claireadventures] Thanks to Claire, who's trying to convince me gadgety is a word. Seriously, do I look like I just fell of the banana boat? Haha, no, that's not one in my pocket. Oh wait, yes it is. Damnit, gadgety is... | More →

Old As Hell!: G.I. Joe Pork Chop Sandwiches

Video, due to language, is probably NSFW. This video is older than the interweb itself. In fact, it was first depicted on a cave wall, drawn there by a caveman who smeared his penis in the ashes left from a fire started when lightning hit a dry tree. True story. Anyway, for those of you who haven't seen it, this is a redubbing of... | More →

Thanks Volkswagen!: Palin/Obama Lovechild

I've been getting flooded with political tips lately, and will post some of the other, more technology oriented ones in the next few days, but this a picture of Sarah Palin/Barack Obama's lovechild as created using Volkswagen's RoutanBabymaker3000 (f*** those commercials, seriously). You just upload two pictures of the parents, and presto, a kid is formed. Is this what a Palin/Obama lovechild would really... | More →

Virgin Shark Produced Shark Kitten

A female blacktip shark at the Virginia Aquarium & Marione Science Center recently passed away, and, upon necropsy, was discovered to be with shark puppy -- despite no male sharks being present for 8 years! Virgin birth has been proven in some bony fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds, and has been suspected among sharks in the wild. The scientists who studied the Virginia and... | More →

More Brains!: A Zombie Pinup Calendar

My Zombie Pinup ($20) is a 2009 calendar that features scantily clad, brain-eating zombie ladies. I want one. It'd look great hanging in the garage next to my toolbox. Because I'm a man, damnit. A man that loves undead women. And power tools. But seriously, should I get a mauve or periwinkle duvet for the bed in the guest room? I don't want it... | More →

Fun For All No Ages: Donkey Kong Jenga

Remember Jenga, the hilarious party game that always ends with some drunk chick hiding a few of the blocks in her thingamajig? Me neither! But now there's a Donkey Kong version apparently. Build your Donkey Kong themed Jenga tower the traditional way or climb the girders with your Mario mover and save Pauline from Donkey Kong in a new and even more challenging way... | More →

Another Day, Another Flying Car

Another day, another flying car. Although the good people over at Terrafugia aren't actually calling it a flying car. They're calling it a "roadable aircraft" because they're a bunch of asshats. Anyway, it's a flying freaking car. The vehicle, set to go on sale next year, will cruise smoothly on the road and through the sky. It will have four wheels, Formula One-style suspension,... | More →

No Vroom Vroom?: An Electric Porsche

German Porsche modder RUF Automobile GmbH went and dropped a 204hp electric motor into a 911. It's powered by 96 lithium ion batteries, can hit 60 in less than 7 seconds, tops out at 160 , and has a 180-mile range. All in all, not too shabby. Who'd have thunk it -- an electric Porsche! What's next, electric golf carts? Ha, that'll be the... | More →

Army Wants Thought-Sending Helmet Made

A new army grant seeks to develop a helmet that can convey messages simply by thinking them. Known as synthetic telepathy, the technology is based on reading electrical activity in the brain using an electroencephalograph, or EEG. Similar technology is being marketed as a way to control video games by thought. "I think that this will eventually become just another way of communicating," said... | More →

Elephants Text Message Rangers To Warn Villages Of Their Impending Doom

Several elephants (including a male named Kimani) in Kenya's Ol Pejeta conservancy have special collars that send text messages to park rangers should they start to venture too close to a village. The huge bull elephant had a long history of raiding villagers' crops during the harvest, sometimes wiping out six months of income at a time. But this time a mobile phone card... | More →

I'm A Doctor!: Anatomy Of A LEGO Minifig

Jason Freeny, the man behind the anatomies of a balloon animal and gummi bear, is at it again, this time with a LEGO minifig. Who knew those little plastic bodies were so intricate on the inside? Not me, and I've melted several after dousing them with hairspray. Oh the figmanity! Moist Production (Jason's official site) Thanks to Jason, the man behind the magic, for... | More →

Condometric Gives It To You Straight (Or Slightly Curved To The Left, Ladies?)

The Condometric is a condom with convenient measurements along the side so your partner can point and laugh and you can feel inadequate. Condometric is the first prophylactic that measures and shows off the penis' length. Condometric helps us flaunt what we've got. It's about believing we can handle whatever we wish to take on, regardless of size. Haha, 6 whole inches -- I'm... | More →

A-Ha's Take On Me, The Literal Version

Even after 23 years, A-Ha's Take on Me music video remains one of the best ever made. And, in late celebration, somebody went and made a literal translation of it, complete with subtitles. Definitely worth a viewing. I love the "this guy's gonna get an ass full of pipe wrench" at the 2:33 mark. Awesome. I wish I could climb in and out of... | More →

Blacker Than Black: The Darkest Material

Researchers have recently made a material so dark it absorbs 99.9% of light, the closest yet to a "pure" black. The substance has a total reflective index of 0.045 percent -- which is more than three times darker than the nickel-phosphorous alloy that now holds the record as the world's darkest material. Basic black paint, by comparison, has a reflective index of 5 percent... | More →

Oops: Possible Mistake On Walmart's Website

This is a screencap from Walmart's Canadian website for Summer's Eve Feminine Spray Ultra - Extra Strength. As you can see, it's applied with a pressure washer. I actually went to the website and the picture was still there, but there wasn't a description of the product. But, FAKE! or not, I think we can all agree that you'd have to be growing psychedelic... | More →

Guy Plays 36 World Of Warcraft Accounts At The Same Time, Runs Raids By Himself

Gamer Prepared runs 36 accounts of World of Warcraft at the same damn time. Why? Because he can, and it's his God-given Canadian right (I don't actually know where he's from). A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I'm sure the Alliance will put up a big fight... | More →

Not Our Children!: Toy Doll Promotes Islam

A bunch of parents think a Fisher-Price doll is promoting Islam. The doll in question, the Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo Doll is not only poorly named, but spouts religious messages (as alleged by previously mentioned soccer moms). The doll is only supposed to make cooing sounds and say mama, but many retarded parents believe the doll is saying "Islam is... | More →

$43 Japanese Stress-Relieving Milk

Stressed? Love milk? How about a $43 bottle of stress-relieving milk straight from the Lon-Lon Ranch? Tokyo-based Nakazawa Foods will launch the "Adult Milk" line of products in October targetting "adults who live in a stressful society," the company said in a statement. The milk is taken from cows once a week at the break of dawn, as they discharge a lot of a... | More →

Sony Unveils Ultra-Thin 40" LCD Television

The Sony Bravia ZX1 is not only 9.9mm thin, but "40% more efficient per panel inch compared to conventional flat panel technology" and allegedly uses less power than a light bulb. I'm not sure what kind of lightbulb, but probably not the 5-watt nightlight in the bathroom I use to prevent pissing on the floor. You know, I was just thinking the other day,... | More →

Robot Trickery: Trying To Write Like People

Scientists are running tests in Berkshire to determine if robots can "think" well enough to trick humans into believing they're humans themselves. Scientists at the University of Reading tested five machines to see if they could pass themselves off as humans in text-based conversations with people. The test was devised in 1950 by British Mathematician Alan Turing, who said that if a machine was... | More →

Yes, Please!: More Slow Motion Pain

I love slow motion videos. Especially ones in which people are getting punched. And here comes another! It's a music video for Spanish rock-soul singer Bunbury for the song Hay Muy Poca Gente. And not only is there punching, but there's shit being broken over people's heads and all kinds of good stuff. Definitely worth a watch. Maybe not a Rolex, but at least... | More →

Strip Club Features Drive-Thru Service

Apparently there's a strip club in Pennsylvania that offers drive-thru service. The Climax "Gentleman's Club" operates in Delmont, Pennsylvania, on Route 22 35 miles east of Pittsburgh. In April of this year, Climax unveiled a new innovation, which is most likely a first in the country: drive-thru strippers. Motorists can now pay $5 a minute to view strippers from the comfort of the front... | More →
