Sep 3 2008 Say No To Carpal Tunnel: Bloody Stump Wrist Rests Perfect For Halloween, Zombie Decoys
Worried about developing carpal tunnel? Get a job where you don't have to type. But for the rest of us, there are wrist rests. This $15 set includes one hand and foot and is sure to get a rise out of undead coworkers. Of course, if you actually do work with zombies you should probably chop their heads off before they eat your brain. As a matter of fact, The Superficial Writer and I had to take a fire axe to the secretary just this afternoon when we caught her eating an arm.
UPDATE: Haha, it was a meatball sub. I swear, that marinara can be deceiving. Well, long story short, we called the coppers and blamed it on The Iwatchstuff Writer.
Hit the jump for a few more pictures of the gore.
Jun 4 2008 UPDATE: Freaking Brilliant: A Subway Pole Dancer
In public transportation news, police in Bucharest, Romania are looking for some chick that performs pole dances on the city's subway between stations and then uses AN EMPTY KFC BUCKET to ask for donations. That's actually her in the picture (that looks like it was taken with a pinhole-cameraphone through a paper bag).
Passengers described the dancer, photographed by a passenger's mobile phone, as a "well-dressed, attractive, student-like young woman".Her modus operandi is to play Tom Jones's You Can Leave Your Hat On on a portable CD player while taking off her clothes and dancing around a pole.
One passenger, George Stancu, who witnessed the act, said: "I can't say I didn't like the show but I found it unusual. There are lots of kids who travel by underground and I just don't think it's proper."
A police spokesman said the woman faced charges and a fine for indecent exposure and public begging if she is caught in the act.
Indecent exposure? That's probably the only decent exposure those people have seen in years. I can't believe this. I mean, charges and a fine? A key to the city, sure, maybe even a national holiday named after her -- but a fine?
UPDATE: HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!! NSFW VIDEO OF A PERFORMANCE ADDED AFTER THE JUMP! WOOHOO, BARE BOOBS! (thanks io)
Uncensored picture (which looks like a shapely pixelated woman in bra and underwear) and NSFW video after the jump.

Apr 29 2008 E-Ink Jacket May Get You Punched, Groped
The BLU e-ink jacket is a concept from Lunar Design. It's an electronic fabric jacket that will shock all your chesthair off in a rainstorm.
Imagine a jacket that could display your mood throughout the day, offer maps on your sleeve for city navigation, or flash intriguing advertisements to passersby -- a fashionable twist on the age-old human sandwich board.
Hrrm, interesting. Because people love ads so much I'm sure they'll be ecstatic to see you've turned yourself into a walking "Head On" commercial. Just don't be surprised if someone applies their fist directly to your forehead. Because they will. That said, I would pretend like I needed to see that girl's map in the picture. Let's see here, if I follow the green-line across Zipper River and around Mammary Mountain...ah yes, Nippleville -- that's where I'm headed.

Jan 16 2008 I'm No Perv, I Swear!: Portable Subway Straps
Well I'm sure you all know about the subway groping problem that Japan has. If not, Japan has a problem with men playing grab-ass (with women) on the subway. Well now there's a solution for Japanese men aiming to keep a clean reputation -- portable subway straps (525 yen, ~$5). What you do is, uh, hold the thing -- that way women won't accuse you of touching them because you're holding on to a giant plastic door knocker. I recommend getting two just to be safe. Because while the guy on the far right of the picture is clearly not doing any groping with his right hand, I'm pretty sure his left is knuckle deep in ass. But to his credit, it's probably his own.

Nov 14 2007 Stackable Cars May Solve 'Last Mile' Problem
MIT believes they have come up with an eco-friendly solution to the 'last mile' problem. The 'last mile' refers to the distance you have to walk between your subway stop and your actual destination (i.e. home, work). The idea is to have a network of these small, electric cars stacked outside mass transit systems so commuters can grab them as needed. Instead of an engine they'll have four in-wheel electric motors run by lithium-ion batteries, saving a reasonable amount of space so the cars can be made extra small. They'll have 360 degrees of steering, so you can park the little bastards sideways in spots and maneuver into other small spaces. I'm not sure if something similar with bicycles or electric scooters has ever been attempted, but that may be a consideration as well. Good job MIT, except I invented stackable cars a year ago. And by 'invented stackable cars' I mean 'started a twelve car pile up during rush hour.'

Oct 4 2007 Delicious Bread Wrist Rest Prevents Strain
I don't know about you, but when I think carpal tunnel prevention, I think Subway subs. Now, instead of smashing my lunch, I can purchase a cell foam replica to provide the same comfort. For $20, you can get a bread shaped wrist rest for your keyboard. You may think this is the dumbest idea ever, but I need one. You see, there's this real jerk at work who always sneaks into my cubicle when I'm out and eats my f'ing lunch. So I'm gonna use this as a decoy. The fat bastard will come over and start eating it, and then when he's almost done I'll pop out from behind the paper shredder and yell "Haha, I caught you! The joke's on you buddy, because that's a fake. Should be a real treat on it's way out." Then I'll kick him in the scrotum, for good measure.

Aug 31 2007 Web Trends Transit Map
The incredibly brilliant Japanese at Information Architects are at it again, this time developing a map of web trends modeled after the Tokyo subway system. The different colors represent different site categories (news, sharing, etc.) and actual sites are depicted with what web generation they belongs to, along with a forecast for the site's future. I found this relatively interesting, except for one major flaw. According to my calculations, Geekologie should be right there smack dab in the middle with a big ass star around it, and maybe some firework motion graphics to really set it apart. Instead they didn't put it on there at all. Foolish bastards, Geekologie IS the internet.
