Perhaps you popped a hard one last week browsing the Internet. Maybe it was because you’re into leather, maybe you saw Tera Patrick blowing Peter North or perhaps you were one of the many geeks who saw a Photoshopped picture of Jessica Rabbit turned into a human. Now, thanks to the wonder of video capture, you can see how the ...

If there’s one thing I love more than my three-floor condo and Lexus convertible, it has to be my Nalgene water bottle. Nothing screams “I’m white, in my 30s and living life to the max!” like a Nalgene-style water bottle. However, a conundrum exists that involves jogging at nighttime and passers-by not being able to recognize that you’re carrying a ...

Don’t go pissing off Ian Taylor anytime soon. The Tredworth native has sawn his car in half with an angle-grinder after law enforcement put a boot on his car. Taylor claims just a small part of his back tire was sticking out of the driveway and was on the sidewalk, which is what prompted police to fine him. Not happy ...

I’m a huge fan of Crocodile Dundee and Leatherhead was by far my favorite villain from T.M.N.T..

Previously reserved for animals, it’s called Alkaline Hydrolysis and it involves the dissolution of bodies in a highly concentrated compound. Then, the body is essentially pressure cooked until all that remains is a coffee-colored liquid. Delicious! ...

A French designer named Vivien Muller has come up with a strange new take on a traditional heating system. Dubbed the “Octocube”, this 14″ cube is comprised solely of 90-degree copper tubing with elbows that serve as a radiator for large surface areas. It’s also said to fit anywhere without looking tacky. What makes this particular radiator unique is the ...

The big buzz this week at the Roboexotica event in San Francisco are robots that mix drinks. Specifically, a robot dubbed “Chapek” is capable of making a small variety of mixed drinks: gin and orange juice (laid back), a gin martini, a vodka martini and a screwdriver. Hilarity ensued during a press run when Chapek spills a screwdriver all over ...

Science has finally advanced in such a way that we’ve completely eliminated the middle man for stirring drinks: the spoon. Any beverages that need mixing can be done with this mug‘s self-mixer, an innovative design, invented by French students. The bottle-neck form of the lower half of the self-mixing mug allows you to stir your drink by simply holding the ...

WowWee, the company responsible for creating the “desktop companions”, ChatterBots, has just released its latest model. What special new features does the latest model possess, you ask? Absolutely nothing! It’s a desktop companion, so what did you expect!? For fifty bucks, this atrocious piece of shit will sit on your desk, taking up space you don’t have and occupying a ...
