    Shoes With Teeth (Actual Denture Teeth) In The Soles
    October 17, 2012
    Because people are SICK and TWISTED, here's a pair of shoes that have 1,050 denture teeth embedded in the soles. Can you imagine the sound they must make walking on pavement? Not a good one. That said, I just made a pair with teeth I stole from the dentist because the hygien... / Continue →
  • HIT ME AGAIN!: Dudes Taking No-Break Water Balloons To The Face In Slow Motion

    Flubber! This is a collection of videos from Youtuber SmarterEveryDay of guys taking under-filled (so they don't break) water balloons to the face, all played in slow motion. The results are unbelievable. The results from my company's random drug test? Very believable (I f... / Continue →
  • Mysterious Portal Opens In Sky Above Norway
    December 9, 2009
    A mysterious light appeared in the sky above Norway last night, causing many citizens to call the Meteorological Institute and others to go back to bed. Me? Suspecting it was a time portal, I would have strapped on a rocketpack and flown right into the middle of it. DINOSAUR... / Continue →

  • Holy crap! I think you created the Higgs Boson the nano second after it exploded. I'll need to recheck my calculations.

  • Cool - but can you attach it to a sharks head!!?

  • Thank you Geekologie! My video seemed right up your folks' alley!

    Sorta Scott - you're using what looks like a dragonlasers or jetslasers blue laser that you call a 'custom modified flashlight' made into a laser.  Did I read that wrong?  Please correct me if I am.....  I build lasers from flashlights for a living, this doesn't look like anything like someone built from a flashlight, looks more like something from one of the many chinese laser distributer.  Usually wickedlasers takes the cake on posts like this but that's not a WL unit.  Not trying to knock you down man, but that doesn't look like a custom to me.  Just sayin ;)

  • It is a custom. It was made for me by an LPF member. It uses a diode harvested from a Casio XJ-140 projector driven with a FlexDrive V5 driver circuit all hosted in a stainless steel LED flashlight body. It doesn't look like other flashlight builds because it also has a custom focus ring. Not sure if trolling.

     I'm a builder on LPF, not trolling at all.  Of the many builds that are regular on the forum (Surefires, Crees, C6s, MXDL, ect) yours just doesn't look like a flashlight sold by one of the regs (Jayrob, DTR, Moh)  Sure there's a lot of other sellers but again yours just looks different & I had to comment when I saw the info on the video.  I stand corrected if that's a custom build.  What kind of host was that before you made it into a laser?  I can't say I've seen one like that before unless it's a gutted chinese build remade into a quality 445.

    Interesting experiment with lazers, balloons, and firecrackers. I would of added glitter just for some razzle dazzle.
