Oct 22 2008 Russian Suspended 'Boob' Ceiling
Apparently suspended ceilings are popular in Russia because upstairs neighbors have a penchant for getting drunk and leaving the bathtub running all night.
In Russia suspended ceiling is not only a stylish element of the flat interior, it can simply save your dwelling from flood made by the careless neighbors living above. Like in this case the practice shows that it is able to gather and hold all the water. Now the question is how to pour it off safely. But just imagine you wake up one morning and your ceilings look like this!
If I woke up one morning and my ceiling looked like that I'd think, "damn, I got a sexy f***in' ceiling." And then, if nobody was around, I might do some light to moderate fondling. Just kidding, I don't care who sees.
Hit the jump for several more shots, including one that shows why you wouldn't want to suckle these things (the last one).
Sep 30 2008 Dorky Self Defense
This is an instructional video about how to defend yourself in the likely event that someone is attacking you because you looked at them funny. I tried a couple of the moves out on a coworker, and I must admit: there was some definite arousal.

Thanks to P05TMAN, who'll get your shit delivered even after the Large Hadron Collider destroys the planet.
Jul 29 2008 $100,000 Jetpack Coming Next Year?
48-year old New Zealander, Glenn Martin, has spent over 26 years developing a jetpack, and believes it may be ready for sale next year. The 250 lb (part of it rests on the ground at idle so you don't have to lift the weight), 200hp, twin-rotor (it's not actually a jetpack) beast produces 600 lbs of thrust and can be flown for over 30 minutes on a tank of gas. Is it safe? Who cares, I want to fly. And, maybe afterwards, learn to swim.
"People come up and go, 'Is it safe?' " Mr. Martin said. "Safety is a relative thing. We think we have done a lot to make this by far the safest jetpack ever built." But, he acknowledged, "It's not a high bar."He added, "I've got to get my head around the fact that at some point, somebody is going to have a very bad experience."
Well, at least he's being realistic. But seriously Glenn, I want to be that somebody.
Hit the link for a video of the thing and a way long article that was really long that I may or may not have read all of.
May 15 2008 (Oh God Please Be) FAKE: Ghost In Elevator
I watched this video a couple of times so needless to say I'm making this post from under the bed. It's allegedly a video of a ghost in a Singapore hotel's elevator (let it load and skip to 1:20 to see the goods). I'm sure it's fake as all hell. Right? It's fake right? Good, because you know ghosts scare the crap out of me. Seriously, I've got a huge mess back there. You know, I'd be more inclined to believe this was real if the ghost wasn't a dead(!) ringer for the bag lady I make out with at the train station on Mondays and Wednesdays. I know she's still kickin' -- we played a little tonsil table tennis just yesterday. I would have won too, but she cheated and bit the tip of my tongue off.
UPDATE: Thankfully, I did some investigative interwebbing and found the creators of the video. It's some human resource group that wants you to work for them and "never have to work late and risk seeing a ghost". Which is stupid because the guys in the video never even saw the damn ghost. That said, I have seen one before. It sucked. It was this real busty chick. I tried to cop a feel but my hand just passed right through her. Tease.

Jan 21 2008 Man Makes Chairs By Melting Weird Plastics
Tom Price, a designer from London, has made a line of chairs by melting different plastics with a seat-shaped mold. We posted a picture of the rope chair back in June, and here comes the rest of the series. As you can tell it looks like a ball of PVC tubing with a turd-like seat in the middle. I'm finding myself strangely attracted to it. I think it's because it makes no sense whatsoever, like my girlfriend. I mean I rarely have any idea what the hell she's talking about. I guess if I paid attention that would help, but it's really hard with her being so uninteresting. Ha, just kidding honey, you're awesome. And by awesome I mean you're boring and I can't stand you. Yeah that's right, we're breaking up via Geekologie post. Oh god put down that knife. Listen readers -- if there isn't another post in an hour somebody call the morgue. Or Domino's if you're getting hungry.
His other designs, along with a video of the rope chair being made, after the jump.
