Inspired by a craft swap project which encouraged the use of dual mediums, New York artist Sarita Maria decided to take the classic Mr. Potato Head toy and recreate him in the image of Sir Spudnik, Potato Head’s Victorian counterpart.

Let me tell you the fun I would have with this thing if I lived anywhere near a desert. I’d set up shop behind a sand dune on a frequently ridden ATV trail and just wait for the perfect moment to pop-up from my hidden spot, lift my gaderffii above my head and let out my best sand person roar. ...

Imagine living a life where the only thing you could eat was ungarnished, plain chicken for every single meal and nothing else. Then, you’ll have a better idea of what it’s like to live death as a zombie. The undead never get a free second to add a little variety into their diet. As soon as they crack open a ...

Eventually, people are going to get bored of this whole fake instrument gaming craze. Once these controllers are mastered, the people over at the Rock Band development lab are going to have to get creative. In the future, perhaps within the next decade or two, it’s possible that Rock Band could look a little something like this video. Hell, we’re ...
