So what’s even cooler than playing with a scientific calculator? I know, not much. But apparently the magic happens once you gut the calculator’s innards (shame! blasphemy!) and insert, wait for it, a fully-functional Game Boy! Hooray. Rejoice. All is forgiven. FYI, I have no idea what a derivative of a function is. I just thought it sound math-y. Link ...

Adam Vorhees really loved biology class. When the day came around to dissect frogs, he was ready to jump out of his skin with excitement. So what if he’s a little creepy? Anatomy can be fascinating. Even for objects of the non-living variety. Vorhees’s Exploded photo set illustrates the anatomy of some everyday objects with intriguing results.

CAN YOU SPEAK UP A BIT?! I CAN’T HEAR YOU! NO, NOT AT ALL! Developed by the Dutch Army during World War I and II, these Acoustic Listening Devices were expected to be used as part of their air defense system. And they were undoubtedly a rousing success.

Playboy without the titties is sort of like Gearfuse without the glaring grammatical errors and amateurish writing, it just doesn’t hold the same charm without it. Unless you’re one of those men who buy Playboy for the articles, the Playboy iPhone app will likely be nothing more than an aggravating tease. The closest thing you’ll get is some sexy non-nude ...

Not only does it look ridiculous, sort of like a turtleneck on steroids (not that turtlenecks aren’t the sexiest style anyway)� but I doubt it keeps you all that much warmer than a normal scarf and zipped up coat.
