This is the insane Batcave inspired home theater setup being built for an Elite Home Theater Seating client in California. It's nuts. "Like pistachios?" EXACTLY like pistachios. Hands down my favorite nut. For this months "Theater of the Month", we bring you our newest ... / Continue →

Plus you look like an oldschool video game character! This the Pixelhead mask by designer Martin Backes. It has the pixelated image of a face printed on it so all the Big Brother cameras in England can't identify you. Unfortunately, you'll still be pretty easy to identify as... / Continue →

This is a video featuring all 151 original Pokemons as the Nyan cat. These are the interwebs, people, what the f*** did you expect? Videos like this are the reason the internet was invented in the first place. Jk jk, I think it was invented to transfer human minds to virtual... / Continue →

Mike Senna of California spent an estimated 3,200 - 3,800 hours over two and a half years building this full-scale, functional WALL-E robot from scratch. He talks, rolls around, moves his arms and eyeballs, but can't compact trash. He will melt your heart though. Probably wi... / Continue →

Hey -- so I'm dealing with some real life stuff today. If I disappear after an article or two take comfort in the fact I'm suffering and I'll try to make it up to you with some posts this weekend (or so I say). Headphone purveyor SOL REPUBLIC has teamed up with Meowingtons (w... / Continue →

Mexican gymnastics Olympian Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas performed her qualifying routine for the floor exercise to a medley of of Zelda songs arranged by Lindsay Sterling (of super-animated violin playing fame). Sadly, she took 35th place overall because there are no points ... / Continue →

This is a line of Star Trek inspired latex outfits to be introduced by Poison Candy Latex at the upcoming Montreal Comic Con. Good start, but you should consider making some of the guy's suits too you know? God, I can just imagine my body tingling in a tight, shiny, mustard-c... / Continue →

This is a picture of some dude who decided to get a classic "Darth Vader with flowers" tattoo on the side of his face. Hopefully it's a cover-up. I'm kidding, hopefully it's a stick-on. And whether you agree with brobro's taste in facial tattoos or not, one thing's for certa... / Continue →

These are limited edition $325 Batman and Bane wristwatches from Diesel. I'm gonna be honest, for that price I kinda expected the Batman one to come with a mini-grappling hook and the Bane one to come with...I dunno, an explosives detonator or something. God, could you imagin... / Continue →

This is the Cat Tunnel Couch from Korean designer Seungji Mun. It has an attached habitrail passage for your cats to play in. Unfortunately, it looks like you can't take the tube all the way apart, so if a cat decides to puke in the right elbow you may just have to deal with ... / Continue →

In "dammit, Japan" news comes a humanoid robot that can mimic the freestyle, backstroke and breast-stroke swimming styles of a human. Why? Presumably so when the terrestrial robots herd us all into the water, there will already be some aquatic ones there ready to drown us. W... / Continue →

Unbaby.me is a Google Chrome extension that replaces Facebook pictures of your friends' ugly babies with pictures of other, cooler stuff like tanks and cats and sandwiches. I assume it just replaces any image that it finds that includes text like "baby". That way when you're ... / Continue →

Remember the story I posted last year about millionaire Johan Huibers building a full size "biblical-scale" replica of Noah's ark after dreaming his homeland of Holland flooded? Well now it's complete, and ready to set sail for safety in the event of global warming. *eying pr... / Continue →

This is a video of a guy playing the opening to Vader's 'Imperial March' on the buttons of what is quite possibly the fanciest washing machine I've ever seen. The washing machines in my apartment complex? They have one setting: 'FAIL TO GET ANY STAINS OUT'. And the dryers? ... / Continue →

This is is series shot by Adam Jay of SuperHero Photography featuring model Freddie Nova as a liquid-latex wearing Venom. Hit the jump for the whole thing, which starts with the actual venom infection and ends with her completely transformed and trying to tear the venom skin o... / Continue →

This is a microscopic shot of a bunch of miniature people getting all freaky-deaky on the surface of a semiconductor. *popping popcorn* Man, this is even hotter than a peep show! Of course, there is some chance, albeit small, that they aren't nudists but rather just the po... / Continue →

Because I'm afraid I won't stop getting the tip until I actually post it, this is a licensed set of 'The Dark Knight Rises' motorcycle leathers from UD Replicas. I have the sneaking suspicion they're the exact same ones they were offering as the 'The Dark Knight' set I posted b... / Continue →

This is some video captured by a group of human-haters at MIT who have programmed a model airplane to be able to autonomously avoid obstacles by pitching and rolling itself to safety. Watching the thing move in real-time is nuts because that thing adjusts itself FAST. Way fas... / Continue →

This is a video of father Rob Kiebler returning home after a yearlong tour in Afghanistan to surprise his son Danny at his birthday party by dressing as a Jedi. I cried, okay?! HARD. Still am. I'm blowing snot bubbles over here. Danny was celebrating his birthday with fami... / Continue →

Remember Jed Henry's series of Ukiyo-e prints featuring video game characters in a traditional Japanese woodblock style? Well now they're available via his Kickstarter page, where you can purchase various prints (digital prints start at $40, an actual print from woodblock will... / Continue →

This picture? That's my dream world (except in my dreams it's my peen instead of a flare). Because some insanely rich people are still decent human beings, Australian 5x billionaire Clive Palmer (the same guy building a replica of the Titanic) wants to clone a dinosaur and le... / Continue →

As any true Bat-fan should know--lest they seek the nasally upbraiding of other, nerdier Bat-fans--The Dark Knight Rises is not the first tale to pit an aging, out-of-retirement Batman against a hulking, fitter, bald asshole. In 1986, Frank Miller began a comics arc with just s... / Continue →

This is a 44-pound wheelchair built by Simon Burfield entirely out of LEGO pieces (sans the wheels). Specifically, 'six Lego Mindstorms NXTs, 12 Mindstorms motors, 12 Lego Mindstorms touch sensors...and a "whole load of Lego Technic."' The chair can allegedly accommodate an o... / Continue →

According to recent research, scientists have discovered that Neocapritermes taracua termites indigenous to French Guiana "suicide bomb" their attackers when threatened, releasing a poison toxic enough to kill their would-be overlords. Plus their guts squirt out in the process... / Continue →

Note: I was going to include a larger version so you could read that little paragraph at the top but 1. let's not kid ourselves, you hate reading and 2. I actually did spend the time to read it and it sucked. This is an infographic depicting the massive amount of information t... / Continue →

Meowbify is a website that you can go to, enter the URL of any other website, and it replaces all the images on that site with animated cat GIFs. It really helps jazz up some of the more boring sites out there. Plus if you're really feeling tricky you could probably send a li... / Continue →

This is an ultra-impressive Star Wars 'Return of the Jedi' themed LEGO chess set lovingly crafted by Brandon Griffith. It even has storage compartments for all the pieces under the play surface. What it doesn't have under its surface? A Rancor pit. Oh man, remember when Mal... / Continue →

This is a video of the Batpod inspired motorcycle some engineering genius managed to piece together in Vietnam. It's pretty damn impressive considering it looks like it was built entirely out of parts that had fallen off other cars. Granted it's not something I'd risk MY life... / Continue →

These are the £12 (~$19) Pizza Slice necklaces from retailer Lazy Oaf. A total of nine can be combined to make a whole pizza. Don't have eight other friends? Join the club. I only have one friend and there's no way that little pizza pendant would fit on her collar. Still, ... / Continue →

Japanese medical 3-D printing firm Fasotec has teamed up with Parkside Hiroo Ladies Clinic to offer 3-D printed versions of patients' baby fetuses based on an MRI scan. And all for the low, low price of $1,200. Will insurance cover that? No. Will girls post pictures of 3-D ... / Continue →

This is a series of sculptures from artist Sayaka Ganz of different animals created entirely from discarded plastic goods. Now look under my coffee table. That's a booger collection. She wants to "transmit a message of hope" through her sculptures; and does so by giving new-... / Continue →

This is series of Street Fighter character minifigs handpainted by LEGOmaniac Julian Fong. It took over a year to paint them all but would probably take less than a minute to melt them all in a trashcan fire. Now, are you thinking what I'm thinking? "What I wouldn't give to ... / Continue →

This is a prototype cartridge of the original Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda. It's for sale on eBay. For $150,000. That's too much for me. Which is why I'm asking you to all band together and buy it for my birthday WHICH IS A WEEK FROM SUNDAY. "Are you having a party?" Ha... / Continue →

Some crazy Russian nutjob claims we'll achieve human immortality by 2045. Just...not in the way that you think. Unless you thought you'd have a holographic body controlled by your brain in a jar, in which case remind me to destroy my mind with drugs and alcohol so they can't ... / Continue →

Note: Larger version HERE in case you want to print it out and pleasure yourself because you're f***ing weird. This is a drawing by Redditor yougruesomehare depicting a bunch of different characters as alternative Pac-Men, and what they might eat. Not to brag or anything, b... / Continue →

This is the Vice Canister series from designer Jonathan Adler. Truthfully, I wouldn't really judge you if you had a ganja jar. Or a mushroom one, provided you have a job and they for weekend/festival use only. But if you have a quaalude or downer jar expect to be judged HARD... / Continue →
