Feb 27 2009 I Like: Sesame Street Duct Tape Wallets
These are duct tape wallets made to look like Sesame Street characters. As you can see, there's Burt, Ernie, the Count, the homoerotic ticklish one, that crazy cooking eating bitch, and the angry bastard that lives in a homeless dome.
Each have a character on the front, with 6 slots for your cards (each can fit 2 or 3 cards) and a pocket for your money and reciepts. At $13 each plus $3 for shipping, it's not a bad price.
As cool as it would be to whip one of these mama-jamas out on a first date, I always let the lady pay for dinner. And, if she's lucky, I'll take care of dessert. Ice cream cake, baby -- love that shit!

Thanks to Hatch, who was made famous for his role in LOST.
Feb 23 2009 Wait, What?: 3M's Nuclear Grade Duct Tape
3M Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 was designed for use in nuclear power plants. Because let's face it: even nuclear power plant employees like to half-ass repair jobs. I know I feel safe.
Yes, 3M's Performance Plus Duct Tape is designed for use in nuclear power plants. It improves upon regular duct tape by working at temperatures of up to 200 degrees. It also can be removed without leaving a residue, it's waterproof, and you can easily write on it. And it's even available to laypeople for a mere $14 per roll.
Wow, we really need to get some. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?! If you answered "nuclear duct-tape my roommate to his office chair and start beating the compressed gas canister with a broomstick" then you are!
Nov 12 2008 Finally, Some Research I Can Get Behind -- And Drink!: Students Aim To Help Prevent Cancer With Delicious, Refreshing Beer
Students at Rice University are using genetic engineering to develop a beer that contains resveratrol and may help prevent cancer.
BioBeer, as it's called, has three genes spliced into special brewer's yeast that produce resveratrol, the chemical in red wine that is thought to protect against diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's and other age-related conditions.The only problem, from the students' perspective, is that many of them aren't old enough to legally consume their creation.
Ha -- too young to drink! Maybe you could ask some seniors to go buy you a six-pack of Zima. Just kidding. But yes, that's a picture of my brother and I playing 24-hands a couple weekends ago. We would have played with 40's but my brother (on the left) weighs 135 pounds and 80 ounces of malt liquor would probably kill him. So, yeah, next time. But cheers to being cancer free! And also, somebody help get this tape off my hands.

Thanks to Phil and Pat, who actually play keg hands because they're that hardcore.
Oct 28 2008 Not Awesome: Worst Body/Case Mod Ever
Not only does this moron have a sarape tacked to the wall as a window treatment, he's got a freaking computer duct taped to his nuts. Now why is he not being electrocuted? And, more importantly, who the hell took the picture? $20 says it was his mom.

Feb 14 2008 The DIY AeroCivic Will Definitely Get You Great Mileage, Definitely Not Laid
Mike Turner pimped out his 15 year old Civic with lots of what appears to be Bondo, molded cardboard and duct tape to create the AeroCivic. It has a drag coefficient of 0.17 (the new Honda Civic hybrid is around a 0.27) and gets 95 MPG when "driving at a constant speed from 30 to 65 MPH on a flat road in 80 degree temperatures with well broken-in tires." In any other circumstance it gets about 8 MPG. Just kidding. I admire your work Mike, and wish you and the AeroCivic the best in the future. Also, I hope you're already married. Because unless you're looking to bag Mother Nature herself, you're gonna have a hell of a hard time doing it in that thing.
Several more pictures of the AeroCivic after the jump.
