Two talents in one. Not only can Spock do that cool “Live Long and Prosper” finger thingy without blinking an eye, but he can also do a decent shadow puppet image of a doggy… AT THE SAME TIME. A one-trick pony, Spock is not. Link

If you’re getting sick of washing your kids’ mouth out with Gmail, maybe it’s time to make a soap switch. This NES Controller Soap is just as geeky, perhaps even more so, than the Gmail soap. And while it probably doesn’t taste nearly as good as Beer Soap, that would sort of be the point. Shipping in packs of four, ...

Being a frequent taxi rider must be pretty taxing on the avid mitten wearer. I know that if I drove a taxi, there’s little chance I’d be able to take mitten wearers very seriously. Mittens, in my brain, are completely associated with little kids. So when I see a full-grown adult donning a pair, I can’t help but coyly giggle ...

There’s jewelry made FOR your belly button, and then there’s jewelry inspired by your belly button. Taiwanese designer Yuyen Chang created these ultra-realistic Orifice Jewelry; brooches, rings and pendants inspired by your most underused orifice, the belly button.

Nintendo really sort of lost it with that GameCube controller. Eight buttons? Not even counting the sticks or the control pad. Was that really necessary? With the Wii, Nintendo took us back to their simpler hey-day. It’s too bad the console is such shit. But in the Wii’s defense, the new Wii Super Mario Bros. game is a saving grace. ...
