Because LEGO is droppin' it like it's hot (PUNCH ME -- DO IT NOW) this year at Comic-Con, here's a preview of their upcoming Rancor Pit playset. I...don't know how I feel about it. I'm thinking maybe they should just sell the Rancor minifig and let me build my own pit. Beca... / Continue →

So you remember the "reporter" (I suspect he's just a foodie with a video camera) who tried the Burger King 1,050-bacon slice challenge? Well he's back, this time with a 1,000 cheese-slice challenge totaling a death-defying 45,661 calories. Does he win? Are you out of f***in... / Continue →

Seen here about to back over a Ferrari after already cursing and shaking his fist at the driver, an ornery older gentlemen shows off his monster truck DeLorean. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get the thing up to 88MPH, but one thing's for certain: where it's going, it d... / Continue →

These are conceptual cigarettes designed by German Ljutaev with a video game life meter printed on the paper. That way, if the giant warning on the pack didn't do the trick, you have a visual reminder ON THE CIGARETTE that you're slowly depleting your life-force (but increasin... / Continue →

This is the Mood Rocking Bed from Fab. It's a real bed, and they're available from $2,835 (for a full) to $ 3,665 (for a king). They also sell a twin for $1,665, but come on, nobody's sleeping in a twin. "What about kids?" They don't need $1,700 beds, that's what. I slept ... / Continue →

Note: Worthwhile larger shot HERE for more detail. Also on display at Comic-Con, LEGO has announced this upcoming Bag End Lord of the Rings playset, appropriately named 'An Unexpected Visit'. And speaking of unexpected visits -- did I tell you who showed up at my house last ... / Continue →

Unveiled at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con, this is the real-world version of Hyundai's Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine (previously: the renderings). As we had suspected, it's definitely NOT the vehicle you want to be driving when the undead shit hits the fan. Me? ... / Continue →

Maybe you've already seen this before because you are like, UP TO DATE on Pokemon fan videos (congratulations?), but this is a video of a girl doing impressions of all 151 original Pokemon. It...was something to watch. I give her an A for effort because she definitely gives i... / Continue →

These are Jason Traeger's back of the hand skull implants. You know, they really got me thinking. Like, if I got a buddy drunk enough, could I convince him to get a penis shaped one? I could maybe tell him, I dunno, that it's like a bow and arrow or something. But then the ... / Continue →

This is a robotic face that's been designed and programmed to be able to imitate human facial expressions. What expression is she making? Hell if I know -- derpy maybe? HURRRRRRRR. The face was modeled after one of the scientist's wives, and the concept is that, if robotic... / Continue →

This is a picnic dragon carved from 14 watermelons and two pineapples by Shawn Freeney of the Invisible Underground. The Invisible Underground is a website dedicated to fruit and vegetable sculptures and "edible alchemy." I'm not sure what edible alchemy is but if it has anyt... / Continue →

Seen here trying to eat an 18-wheeler, a dog tries to gobble up every car it passes on the road. He never actually gets one, but it's pretty obvious he's a good eater. I bet that guy would go apeshit in a parking lot. *RUFF!* Ha, the 'all you can eat buffet' he likes to cal... / Continue →

These are Bum Bag Drink Coolers, koozies that look like brown paper bags but are actually made from waterproof and tear-free Tyvek. You'll be the belle of the ball under the bridge! Man, I've brown-bagged it before. I'm not proud. Or ashamed. It's just one of those things ... / Continue →

The town of Triberg, Germany, has created "female-only" parking spots in one of the city-owned parking lots that are wider and better-lit than other spots. Why? Because all Germans are sexist. See what I did there? That was me doing my own stereotyping. *runs over curb pul... / Continue →

Seen here inventing doggy-style (technically, dino-style), two t-rexes go at it in an artist's interpretation of how dinosaurs mated, according to new research by paleontologists. Basically, scientists now believe all dinosaurs mated like dogs, which is a shame because variety... / Continue →

This is the $100 Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote. You touch different sections of it and wave it around to change the channel, adjust the volume, etc. etc. Plus you can point it at a roommate like a magic wand and be all, "Hocus pocus, be gone with you!" Using sim... / Continue →

Astronomers recently announced that they've identified a fifth moon orbiting Pluto, a discovery that solidifies in my mind that the dwarf planet is in fact a REGULAR planet, despite my having zero concept of the credentials required for full planetary status. You want to know ... / Continue →

This is Skippy. Skippy is a robot that skips stones in a pond in Sun Valley, Idaho. And, if you wait your turn on Skippy's website, you can even control him and make him skip a rock yourself! I'm not sure where exactly this unending stone supply is coming from, but I suspect ... / Continue →

Seen here staring at an empty table like old people are so good at, a researcher wears the Age-Man suit, a suit designed to make the wearer feel 75+ years old (Note: not the first one we've seen). The concept is that by allowing health care professionals to wear the thing, the... / Continue →

This is a bench that, when sat upon, makes it look like a giant shark is about to eat you. Don't worry though, it's fake -- that isn't a real shark coming out of the pavement! Hard to believe, I know, it's just a really, really good looking fake. *pointing in mouth* This fr... / Continue →

If you haven't already seen them, this is a series of ridiculously impressive Westeros locations faithfully recreated in Minecraft. I know, they've already been out for like a week now, but what can I say, I like being late to the party. Think of me as like, the fashionable l... / Continue →

This is a gallery of the graffiti that German street artist Mirko Reisser created on the beach. It's supposed to be his tag. What's it say? The same thing all other tags say, I HAVE NO F***ING CLUE. Kidding, it actually reads 'DAIM', which I can ALMOST make out since I know... / Continue →

This is a paper mache bust of Maleficent in her dragon form from the fairytale-turned-Disney-classic 'Sleeping Beauty'. It was created by paper mache expert Dan, who apparently gets insulted if you ask him to make you a pinata for your birthday. My bad, bro, I was just ASKING... / Continue →

Apparently this is the first picture ever uploaded to the internet. Surprisingly it's not a cat, tit, or man's peenor. Hey -- I'm as shocked as you are. Apparently the internet was born much maturer than it is now and has been digressing ever since. Think Benjamin Button, b... / Continue →

A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO with a value estimated at around $31-million was wrecked over the weekend while touring in France on the way to Le Mans. It's being hailed as the most expensive car accident to date even though one time I hit three of my neighbors' cars in the parking ga... / Continue →

Dammit Spidey, Did You Just Shoot A Doily At Me?: Spider-Man Gets The Steampunk/Rockabilly TreatmentRemember artist Denis Medri's series of steampunk/rockabilly Batman characters? Well he's back, this time with Spider-Man ones. Well, really only Spider-Man, Green Goblin, Vulture, Rhino, Kraven and Doctor Octopus. They look good. Also, like they could all be defeated with ... / Continue →

Because scientists don't know when to stop despite some VERY heavily worded emails sent by yours truly, a group of researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a pair of "biologically accurate" humanoid legs that mimic the function and movement of real human legs, ju... / Continue →

This is a ceiling fan somebody removed the blades from, then drilled three skateboard decks to use as replacements. I'm not sure if they used some sort of industrial ceiling fan, but I thought manufacturers generally tried to make fan blades as light as possible. Skateboard d... / Continue →

This is a series of cupcakes featuring the Game of Thrones house sigils from the opening sequence of the show created by The Regali kitchen. They even used them to make a little reenactment of the intro which looks a lot more like a couple cupcakes spinning around and zero of ... / Continue →

Wow, of course you took her to a playground YOU PERVY WEIRDO. This is a video of a guy demonstrating his virtual reality girlfriend. She was created using a hacked Kinect, some video glasses, and a heaping scoop of sad, pervertedness. Her actual avatar is Hatsune Miku, a Jap... / Continue →

Because there's no such thing as the suspension of disbelief anymore, some party-pooping physicists (links to PDF of actual paper) took the time to prove that, while Batman could jump from a height of 400-feet and successfully glide for about 1,000 feet, he would land like a sa... / Continue →

In case you missed it yesterday, or didn't see it in IWatchStuff's sidebar over here ---------> because you're a complete wreck of a spaz, this is a mashup of the Golden Girls intro featuring some of the superheroes from Super Friends. Oh man, you know what the best part of t... / Continue →

This is a shot by photographer Rizwan Baig from the recent London Film and Comic Con featuring a Stormtrooper who's had his mask laser-blasted and part of his skull exposed. Pretty brutal. Also, maybe it's just me, but doesn't the skull seem a little small for the mask? Now ... / Continue →

One time I licked a cross-walk button and the girl next to me puked, true story. This is a video of somebody's pet clam licking salt off the table. That's not it's tongue that comes out though, that's its foot. That's why my title makes so much cents. "You mean sense." Are... / Continue →

This is a series of ads created by photographer Markus Mueller for some German something. I dunno, I tried going to the website printed on the shirt but it wouldn't load. So let's just assume the campaign was a failure and they've already had to shutdown the site. Which is a... / Continue →

Etsy seller Monika Naumann is selling these custom $250 mermaid tails with attached fin so you can swim like Ariel. Yayayayayay! Sure you could probably get the material and make your own for cheaper, but let's not kid ourselves, you'd wind up sewing your legs together and dr... / Continue →

This is a picture of the shadow cast by a single atom, captured by scientists for the first time. How did they do it? Science. Ooooooooor drew straws and the shortest had to sell their soul to the devil. Not worth it, bro! To get this to work, an atom of Ytterbium was cool... / Continue →

This is the $24,000 Z.E.R.O. (Zombie Extermination, Research and Operations) Kit by OpticsPlanet. It has everything you need to survive a zombie apocalypse (including t-virus antidote lab!) minus food and guns. It does come with laser sights and a ton of other rifle accessori... / Continue →

This is a $31 "naked lady in a bathtub"' iPhone case. It's a real product, and hands down the classiest iPhone case that doesn't look like a giant pecker. Plus, people will always ask, "Is that a naked lady in a bathtub iPhone case in your pocket or are you just a really cree... / Continue →

This is a video of some crazy Ruskie (redundant, I know) base jumper whose parachute fails to open and he plummets 393-feet into the snow below at full-speed. He survives though, so you can totally watch it without feeling bad. Those "pennies a day to feed a starving kid" ads?... / Continue →

This is a German train bridge painted by street artist 'Megx' to look like it was constructed out of giant LEGO bricks. Sure it's not as impressive as a train bridge actually made out of LEGO blocks, but I imagine train passengers wouldn't be too thrilled about that. Except me... / Continue →
-
This is a hamburger made from 100% ground bacon. If you think about it, it's actually more of a hamburger than a regular burger because it's actually made from pig. Not unlike pork-chop sandwiches (links to G.I. Joe PSA, NSFW for language). My God, did that smell good. South... / Continue →

This is Chad Roberts' X-Wing Fighter inspired beard. It looks like an X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars, but it's not -- it's all hair. Disgusting, disgusting hair. No word if the ship-beard is capable of ion torpedo-ing any thermal exhaust ports, but I bet it does make it near ... / Continue →
