I’ve been getting back into SNES recently. It had been at least ten years since I even looked at the system, but then I received a copy of Super Mario World for Christmas. Forget about it. Now I can’t leave my house without some sort of SNES accessory. I just can’t bare to leave my poor console behind. I don’t ...

You bought this beautiful Christmas tree for the holidays and after a month of display its time to dump the damn thing. But there’s gotta be a more valuable purpose than just laying in a dumpster somewhere. This family decided to recycle their Christmas tree into a rocket powered projectile. Strap 32 rocket engines to a tree and see what ...

If you haven’t checked out or even heard of Barbie Massacre, you’ve gotta check out the site. If you have any sort of morbid curiosity for violence and crime mixed with the cultural phenomenon of Barbie dolls, it’s a must see.

You know the feeling. Its three a.m. and your running on fumes courtesy of that Coke-filled Big Gulp you just slurped down. What if your cellphone ran on the same stuff that kept you up for those all-nighters. Designer Daizi Zheng designed a cellphone to run off of the sugar cells in Coca-Cola. Well, any sugary beverage will do, even ...

Forget NWA. I like my Ice-T dispensed straight from the source. Oh, and don’t forget the Ice Cube. This hip-hop inspired soda fountain should be the new standard in every fast food joint. Link [via]

What I wouldn’t pay to be at this party. Featuring all of your favorites, staring at the Adult Swim pool party is a surefire way to hate the winter even more. Gotta love how Brak is petting Brian. Brian’s expression is pretty classic. Even da a-freakin’ Pope makes an appearance. Link

Is the PSP handheld console just a tad too slick and clean for your liking? The Fallout PSP Mod turns the PSP into a post-apocalyptic pile of rusted junk. Maybe not so surprisingly, rusted junk looks really, really cool. Here’s hoping you had a tetanus shot recently.

Two of my favorite all-time characters from any show or media period have been masterfully cloned by Disney. Officially licensed and insanely awesome, these Statler and Waldorf Masks let anyone imagine they’re the cranky old men with a penchant for the Muppets theater. You know what they say, if its too hot, get outta the kitchen. And these masks are ...

I’ve been looking for a chart such as this one that lays down the facts of the newest generation of smartphones, providing an easy basis of comparison. Each phone has its own pros and cons, except the Palm Pre, which is almost all cons (sorry Sprint, you lose). But in all honesty, what other phone could you do this with? ...

OK, so sue me, it’s not one of those real “hey-look-at-me-I-actually-hold-tea” tea bags. In fact, there’s no tea involved at all. But what does happen is pretty magical, tea-free and all. Dunk the “tea” bag into a mug of water and the magic happens. Glowy, pretty magic. If you like this tea bagging, just wait until later. I’ll show you ...
