Coffee breath. The downfall of the modern man. And possibly the modern vehicle. The Carpuccino is a 1988 VW Scirocco which has been modified to run off of coffee. Apparently this bad boy will run three miles per kilogram of ground coffee, making it oddly similar to the run time of an average human being. That’s about 56 espressos a ...

$200 is a lot of hard-earned dough to shell out for one device. Especially when there are so many other pending responsibilities. I don’t really blame this guy for taking the low road and offering a slightly higher reward for someone else’s iPod Touch. Sure, it might be just short of robbery, but “losers weepers,” right? The real question is, ...

These days, if you want to be a�successful�scene band, you’ve gotta have a dedicated online following. And it seems there is a new internet star on the rise. Meet I AM UN CHIEN !!, an alt metal band hellbent on creating a work of art using nothing but their musical chops and a little help from the random webcam social ...

First you get the money. Then you get the power. THEN you get the Apple products. Al Pacino might or might not have said those exact lines in the film Scarface. Maybe I used an oh-so slight piece of creative�license. This Scarface Macbook decal turns your laptop into an even cooler, but slightly more suspicious, piece of hardware. No scales ...

While the legality of buying and selling ghosts seems dubious at best (the Ghostbusters would have been rich!), this auction site doesn’t seem to have an issue with the paranormal trade. Extra! Extra! Two spirits for sale! We have had no activity since they were bottled on July 15th 2009 . So i believe they are in the bottles. They ...

Freedom fighting for all Wookiee-kind. It really is a shame that I know how to spell Chewbacca without even thinking, and that I know the home planet of Wookiee’s happens to be Kashyyyk without even so much as opening a new tab in my browser, yet I have to do my research in order to properly spell Che Guevara. Link ...

Remember a few months ago when we posted about the Star Wars Burlesque show which featured a scantily clad Boba Fett and the like? Well, it was hot, so you should probably check it out. But anyway, apparently someone was so enamored with the concept that they had the image of the ample breasted Stormtrooper tattooed on their skin. As ...

There have been many attempts at untooning characters from The Simpsons, most of them are just exceedingly creepy and all-together unrealistic, but Martin Beyer crafted this portrait of �a Mr. Burns bust, which seems to capture a happy medium between realism and the�maniacal�eccentrics of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant’s own�Montgomery�Burns. The full-fingered hand gesture, the evil grin, the jutting jaw, ...

Let me tell you. It would totally trip me out to walk into someone’s house and see illuminated hats hanging from their ceilings. Hats are meant to be on bodies. Or used as weapons. But�definitely�not as home lighting. Somewhere, a dapper chap is walking around hatless. Link

See, what what George Lucas forgot to tell us was that everything in this galaxy far, far away was actually�miniaturized. The Empire seems a lot less frightening now, doesn’t it? Although I’d still watch out for those lightsabers. They can probably cause some serious burns. In this rare photographic shot of Darth in all of his miniature glory, you can ...
