To be honest with you, Gearfuse readers, I’m surprised. Hide your bamboo peripherals and vehicles! I was never aware that Koala Bears were known for their insatiable lust for blood and war. But apparently, there’s a lot about Koala’s I didn’t know. Link [via]

As far as anatomical models go, you don’t see many vagina-themed objects. Sure, you’ve got your male sex toys and your science class anatomically correct scale model, but where are all the vagina-inspired goodies. The ratio between penis and vagina-themed gadgets is unsettling at best and terrifying at worst. I guess vagina’s just aren’t as funny as a huge shaft? ...

Here is a case where a blown-up object literally gets blown-up. These XXXXXXXL Crayola Crayons are doubling as rocket projectiles. Why? Well, for one, they ARE sort of rocket shaped, so it makes sense in that regard. Number two, it’s just a really bitchin’ idea. Who doesn’t like blowing crap up? Designed by John Coker, who may or may not ...

I always heard so much about these fabulous cookies the Dark Side was supposed to offer. But once I joined the cause, there wasn’t a goddamn cookie in sight.

Worth1000, the king of the Photoshop contests, loves to mess around with the cinema. And the site’s users just eat it up. Their Mate a Movie contest challenges photo crafters to join two or more movies together and create a poster for said movie. The results, as you can see for yourself, are often hilarious. If you’re not feeling Incontinent ...

I can’t attest to being a crazy The Nightmare Before Christmas fanboy, as I don’t think I’ve ever even seen the movie all the way through, but I always did love Tim Burton’s style. This film vignette captures that style pretty well despite the fact that it’s completely composed using LEGO bricks and accessories. Emulating the now iconic poster art ...

Ben Heck forum contributor OMGpedobear created this Nintedo Wii Laptop from scratch, including some pretty cool LED action, if you’re into that sort of thing. While the internals might not be the most organized or secured set-up we’ve ever seen, we always love to see modding geniuses working for the geeky cause of making full-scale gaming as mobile as possible. ...
