This is a video of 80 Teddy Ruxpin dolls attached to the wall that have been wired to read excerpts from personal blogs on the internet in real time. It's kind of like watching a nightmare in slow motion. Plus the soundtrack was pretty trippy. I give it two out of five scary... / Continue →

Banana slugs are hermaphrodites and have both a dingaling (that comes out of the top of it's head -- think unicorn, but with a dong instead of a horn) and hoo-ha (I'm ten). So when they mate they usually both give and receive. But when they're done they try to bite each other... / Continue →

Scientists have set a new record for the world's hottest temperature, with the creation of a plasma that measured 7.2-trillion degrees Fahrenheit. That...is steamy. Also, this erotic dinosaur fiction I've been working on: I pretended my feet were stuck in the tar, all the whi... / Continue →

Mad scientists at the army's Picatinny Arsenal have developed a weapon that can shoot lightning bolts down laser beams to fry electronics and detonate explosives. But can it cook a hotdog? "Air is composed of neutral molecules and is an insulator," Fischer said. When lightnin... / Continue →

This is an Eye of Sauron birthday cake. It's the second Eye of Sauron birthday cake I've posted. Is it better than the first one? It's all personal opinion. The other one was more sculpted, this one was straight-up painted. Regar, I like how they captured the glimmer in hi... / Continue →

Remember Jed Henry's series of Nintendo game characters as traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints? Well he's back with even more, this time featuring some Pokemon, Kirby, Star Fox, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Street Fighter (not Nintendo, but WHATEV) and Castlevania action... / Continue →

Note: Pads are actually worn INSIDE underwear. Also: is that a man or a woman? I remember posting the patent for these things way back in 2007 when you and I were still wearing diapers. And now, in 2012, they're a real product you can buy and stuff down the back of your unde... / Continue →

This is a DeLorean limo with six, count them -- six, gullwing doors. Unfortunately, it looks like all the seats are buckets so that's gonna make it harder to get to second base with your prom date. Unless -- UNLESS -- she sits on your lap. Just make sure to share the seatbel... / Continue →

This is a new model of Henry Repeating Arms .22-caliber AR-7 that can be disassembled and stored in its waterproof buttstock. And speaking of buttstocks *shakin' that ass with a knee-high wedged between buttcheeks* "GW? That's a buttsock." I love puns! You think if I drew ... / Continue →

This is an abandoned farm house that artist Heather Benning turned into a human-sized dollhouse (provided a human-sized dollhouse is just a regular house with no wall on one side). Pretty neat, right? Personally, I would have turned the farm house into a blazing inferno with ... / Continue →

This is a miniature Death Star carved out of a ping pong ball and some card-stock. It's pretty impressive for being so teensy. Speaking of -- you ever played the game where you and a friend shoot ping pong balls out of your mouths trying to hit each other in the face? It's a... / Continue →

This is a series of creepy face and hand paintings by Choo-San, who obviously has zero regard for me sleeping at night. Call me sensitive, but-- "You're a sissy." You know what? For the sake of making your life a passive-agressive hell for the next week, I'm just gonna prete... / Continue →

These are a bunch of shots from Pakistan of the Coast Guard destroying 1,000's of confiscated liquor bottles (as well as burning a mountain of hash and betel nuts) to celebrate the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Wow, that does NOT sound like my k... / Continue →

Because why BBQ when there's so much fast food to be eaten, Carl's Jr. is running a promotion on the 4th of July that if you show up to one of their restaurants dressed as Spider-Man, you get a free Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger. No word if just wearing a red shirt with 'S-Man'... / Continue →

You could have at least Photoshopped her face to look like different pictures you know. Apparently Wonderbra's Variable Cleavage Bra was originally introduced in 2000 and this is just a limited time re-release, but I barely even knew what a tit was twelve years ago and now, we... / Continue →

By a show of hands, how many people here think goatse whenever they hear 'Gotye'? Hmm, not as many as I imagined. Hopefully I just ruined that for a lot more of you. This is a parody of Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' called 'The Star Wars That I Used To Know' featuri... / Continue →

This is a gallery of glass pipes/bubblers/slide featuring Star Wars characters created by glass-blower Creep. Sure they're not the most photo-accurate portrayals of the characters, but I imagine working with glass isn't the easiest thing to do. Working with kids? Working wit... / Continue →

This is the 'Streetwise' Cheese Top Burger from KFC in the Philippines. It has a slice of melted cheese on the top of the bun, making it the LEAST 'streetwise' burger I've ever seen. Jesus, the only streetdumber sandwich would be one with ALL the condiments on the outside. No... / Continue →

This is a worthwhile gallery of sci-fi movie scenes recreated with minimal LEGO pieces as part of the "Mi-Fi" contest run by The Living Brick. As you can see, everybody did a really amazing job. Me? I do a f***ing terrible job, which is why I've been fired eight times in the... / Continue →

This is a set of three beer cases (well, six-packs) created for Miller Genuine Draft in Turkey that, when combined like a Transformer, form a boombox. Granted it's nonfunctional, but who cares, you've got 18 shitty beers to chug. *pounds ten, tries adjusting volume knob on bo... / Continue →

Seen here shattering my belief that girls' asses don't sweat, a Czech girl who allegedly smoked "super-strength skunk cannabis" for four-hours straight (although I suspect PCP/bath salts) tries crossing the electrical wires she mistook for a rope bridge. Drugs: they make you s... / Continue →

This is a robotic hand created by the folks at the University of Tokyo's Ishikawa Oku Lab that never loses at paper-rock-scissors. How? By reading your hand then responding with the winning gesture in less than a millisecond. Whatever, I could still beat it. Ready? One, tw... / Continue →

Google created an artificial intelligence system with a staggering 16,000 processors and let the thing loose on the internet to learn on its own. And what did it learn? CATS. "The musical?" *stink-eye* The neural network taught itself to recognize cats, which, John Markoff... / Continue →

This is a $280 Tetris shapes (tetrominos) pillow set from Etsy seller StarGallery. If you're really just hoping for the long stick one that's TOO DAMN BAD because they're only sold as a set. Thankfully, since my mom taught me how to sew like the little daughter she never had,... / Continue →

Ever wonder what the robots will watch after they've conquered humanity and just want to relax at the theater on a Friday night? "Human gladiator fights." Jesus, you're probably right. But this is a synchronized quadrocopter light show recently put on by KMel Robotics (of '... / Continue →

This is the custom Stormtrooper head lawn chair Geekologie reader Ferg's friend's brother at GotWood Workshop made. Oh man, one time a friend's brother's cousin's sister's boyfriend drove me around in the back of his pickup truck, so that was cool. You know, like loose in the... / Continue →

Not before lunch. Remember the MRI picture of a baby being born? Well now there's a video of the process. I know, we can all stop marking the days off our wall calendars, it's finally here. Note: This is NOT the video to watch if you're ten and hoping to catch your first gl... / Continue →

This is the Swing Table, a £4,995 (~$7,800) dining room table from Duffy London. Instead of regular chairs though it has swings attached to a frame above the table so you can jump out mid-dinner and land in the mashed potatoes. Everyone will laugh and laugh. Just kidding, yo... / Continue →

Because so many fanboys got their shit-stained boxers in a ruffle based on the original endings of the game, Bioware has made extended-cuts of the three existing endings to Mass Effect 3, and added a new one. The existing endings now have some more exposition explaining what h... / Continue →

Dude -- It's Not That Easy: Smooth Criminal Gets Arm Stuck In Coke Machine Trying To Steal Free SodaSeen here at crotch level with rescue workers, a 17-year old highschooler from National City, California got his arm stuck in a Coke machine trying to steal a drink.

Seen here with Fausto Llerena, his caretaker of 40 years, Lonesome George, the last remaining Chelonoidis nigra abingdoni (Pinta Island Giant Tortoise, a subspecies of the Galapagos Tortoise), passed away on Sunday, June 24th. He was around 100. Scientists had expected him ... / Continue →

Note: Video ever so slightly NSFW due to some incredibly crappy wall art of nude-boobied Na'vi chicks a little after the 1:00 mark. This is a promo video for AVASTAR, an Avatar themed nightclub in South Africa that looks suspiciously like a rollerskating rink. The video is ... / Continue →

This is a 7,000 domino maze that, when toppled, recreates Van Gogh's iconic 'The Starry Night'. It was set up (and knocked down) by Youtuber Spazzybat Flippycat of domino wall destruction fame. Which, as far as fame goes, is like 4X more famous than I'll ever be. "Dammit GW,... / Continue →

Ever wonder what would happen if you threw a 30kg (~66-lb) box of trash (predominately food remnants) into a volcano from 80-meters (~262-feet)? Me too! Man, I get bored and think of all kinds of shit. Like, what would happen if you got struck by lightning while holding fire... / Continue →

A group of scientists at Stanford claim they've created a device that will allow a glimpse into the workings of the human brain, and plan to demo the unit (stupidly named the iBrain because smart ≠ creative) on Stephen Hawking during a live presentation. Fingers crossed he doe... / Continue →

What Cars Were Made For: Super Slow-Motion Glass Smashing And Giant Water-Balloon Popping With A BMWThis is a commercial made by BMW Canada featuring an M5 crashing through a giant glass apple, popping massive water balloons, then smashing through a porcelain target, all shot in super slow-motion.

This is a picture of Link's semi spotted in a Wal-Mart parking lot by Redditor teslas_notepad. No word what he hauls, but my guess is ass. ZOOM ZOOM, Link amirite? *doing the 'pull horn' motion* Toot it, bro -- for me! Thanks to freddy, who heard Link was fired from his tr... / Continue →

Holy shit, the Human Torch pumps his own gas. This is a video of some spaz in Australia with zero regard for safety who decides to test his lighter while pumping gas. SPOILER: it works. Me? I know better than to play with fire at the gas station. I just want to huff all th... / Continue →

Hey, guy in the front -- I like your shoes. This is a video of an entirely too large pedal-powered helicopter taking off at the University of Maryland (go turtles!). The pedalcopter recently set a record for the longest human-powered helicopter flight with a whopping 50-secon... / Continue →
