Nov 16 2009 For A Proper Burial: Mouse Trap Coffins
Because even problematic varmints deserve a proper burial to ensure their Micky Mouse souls can get into heaven, design studen Sarah Déry created these mouse trap coffins.
This package was developed to solve the problem of neatly disposing of caught vermin by building the trap itself into a mini, rodent-sized coffin. With a simple slogan atop the box (Oh My God! Mouse Trap) the container can be opened using the lid... or not, for the more squeamish pest catchers among us.
Neat idea, but I used to bullseye womprats in my T16 back home, they're not much bigger than 2 meters. And then we'd barbeque them (not unlike Uncle Owen!). Ever had barbequed womprat? Similar taste to Rodents of Unusual Size. ZOMG -- Star Wars and Princess Bride references in the same post, I DESERVE AN AWARD!
Hit the jump for two more shots of the last thing your rat problem will ever see.

Oct 14 2009 More Spork Art: This Time A Human Carcass!
After yesterday's Plasticdragon, loyal Geekologie Reader Ashley wrote to inform me that he and his art group recently created a similar figure. Except, instead of a dragon, it's a dead-ass body!
This is a piece we did at Uni early this year and I just saw your feature article on the plastic dragon. The skeleton has been getting some nice features so thought you might be interested! :) It was a comment on the ironic contrast between our disposable fast-food culture and the problem of world famine. This received a D&AD Commendation at the '09 Awards.
Well done, Ashley. I'd like to take this time to point out that I, for one, am 100% against world famine. Now I know that I usually try to avoid getting political, but I firmly believe that all people should eat food. Except the fatties. They should exercise.
Hit the jump for three closeups.

Jul 13 2009 Living With First-Person Shooter Disease
This is a video about a guy living with first-person shooter disease (or Duke Nukem's disease). Honestly, I thought it was pretty sad until I realized it was a joke. What can I say, I'm slow. Like a turtle. One who just made love to a shoe. I swear, I thought it was my raptor blow-up! (I knew it was a Puma)
Thanks to Towhee Monster, James and The Superficial Writer, who all live with RPG disease. Okay, your turn.
Apr 2 2009 Game Timer Keeps DS'ing Addiction In Check
Snap -- you just got double entendre'd, son! Moving on. The Health Control Game Timer shuts down your Nintendo DS if you've been playing for too long. How long is too long? Apparently 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes.
The device also features a distance sensor that will flash a red light when your face gets too close to the screen during those unusually intense gaming sessions.
The highly questionable piece of shit costs $40 and won't work to curb your problem whatsoever. If you really have a gaming addiction you'll either A) never buy one, B) turn the system back on and keep playing for another 2 hours, or 3) pull the device out and Hulk smash it to bits. I mean, it's not liked it's chained to the DS or anything. And, haha, speaking of not being chained to things -- I stole your bike! Now, check out this sick jump I've been working on. *WICKA-POW* Ladies, consider yourself pregnant.
