There is surely a large percentage of you who have been holding out on the iPhone not out of spite, but because you just don’t have the extra cash laying around. In these times of financial strife, sacrifice is essential. If you still want to at least LOOK like you can afford an iPhone, iPhoneDummy.net is selling non-working display models ...

I was expecting a little Willy Wonka action with this LEGO brick glass elevator model but, alas, there is no Wonka in sight. I don’t give a rat’s ass if Charlie gets his lifetime supply of chocolate or not. This elevator is definitely lacking some Gene Wilder action. Link [via]

Hans Scharler created this awesome Steampunk Pumpkin using a bunch of spare parts from some of the most well known DIY providers. The pumpkin glows an eerie green color from inside when turned on in the dark, sort of like your mom. Hit the jump for the video making of the Steampunk Pumpkin.

Even evil overlords put their pants on one leg at a time. Just because he has an evil empire to run, doesn’t mean his responsibility of personal hygeine and everyday duties comes to an end.

Whatever you might do with it, one thing’s for sure. Even though the cake steals elements from other well-known paintings, it takes a real artistic eye to paint, with ...

The problem is that I can literally look at a slice of cake and gain five pounds. So while this Game Boy cake looks extra scrumptious with its M&M Tetris design goin’ on, I think I might ...

Merging the best of two of the geekiest worlds into one, the LEGO Foosball table combines the amazing sport of table soccer (and yes, I use the word sport very loosely here) with our absolute favorite building toy, LEGOs. Look, Knex are pretty good and I’mma let you finish, but LEGOs make the best foosball table of all-time! Hit the ...

Simply create your own mock Mona Lisa design and cut a face hole in your design. Designer Alexa Westerfield provides more in-depth instructions on her site ...
