Forget NWA. I like my Ice-T dispensed straight from the source. Oh, and don’t forget the Ice Cube. This hip-hop inspired soda fountain should be the new standard in every fast food joint. Link [via]

Two of my favorite all-time characters from any show or media period have been masterfully cloned by Disney. Officially licensed and insanely awesome, these Statler and Waldorf Masks let anyone imagine they’re the cranky old men with a penchant for the Muppets theater. You know what they say, if its too hot, get outta the kitchen. And these masks are ...

I’ve been looking for a chart such as this one that lays down the facts of the newest generation of smartphones, providing an easy basis of comparison. Each phone has its own pros and cons, except the Palm Pre, which is almost all cons (sorry Sprint, you lose). But in all honesty, what other phone could you do this with? ...

I’ve been on the market for weapons now for a decent amount of time, and it seems everywhere I turn there are just more and more weapons made to cause no physical pain or damage to your enemies. What’s the point? To have fun? Screw fun. Where’s the blood? Now that’s fun! Despite my obvious blood-lust, I can see the ...

Best Buy’s Geek Squad offers to “optimize” your computer for $40, claiming to double your computer’s speed in some cases. But if Consumerist’s little unscientific study is correct, this whole optimization thing could just be a giant scam: Upon comparing the optimized changes, the first noticeable change was a cleaner desktop.

Unless your facing an army of diabetics, I’m not exactly sure how effective Chocolate Weaponry might be. If you’re aiming for anything other than a mild distraction, I’d save the chocolate for yourself and get those endorphins pumping for those last few seconds you have left.
