The World’s Fastest Port-a-Potty is capable of speeds upwards of 70 MPH with the help of a Boeing Jet engine. I guess it’s great for when you have to go really, really ...

The WaveRoller is a device anchored to the sea floor, which has moving plates which sway with the movement of the waves.

Please excuse me if I’m gushing, but when a geeky collectible becomes mixed with another tech medium, this is time for me to praise the heavens for blessing us with all this cool shit to talk about.
