Everett Bradford created this insanely awesome “Prometheus Device” which lets you shoot fire from a hand-mounted flame thrower. The device makes you feel like a real superhero, or supervillain, for whichever purpose you decide to use your new found powers, good or evil, is up to you. Bradford’s also done a great job documenting the building process, but of course, ...

All of those cassette tapes being thrown into our trash dumps are really starting to add up. Piles and piles of Journey tapes lie waste, just waiting for a superhero to come and recycle them into a constructive use. If you don’t have the patience to create an artist’s likeness with the innards of a cassette, maybe these Recycled Cassette ...

This cake might match its own sweetness with its utter flamboyancy. It’s hard to be taken seriously when you’re decked out in a rainbow pattern, unless you happen to be a Crayola 64 Box, which this cake is expertly modeled after.

I thought there was nothing more relaxing than watching Koi fish swim around in their pond, that was until I learned how soothing Koi can be when they’re melting into a puddle of liquid. These Cold Fish Koi Ice Cube mold from Perpetual Kid allows you to freeze eight Koi-shaped ice shapes and let them float around in your beverage ...

So you think you’re real smooth jailbreaking your iPhone, huh? Really pulled the wool over the eyes of Apple, you did. Dutch jailbreakers beware. A hacker from the Netherlands was recently able to conive a series of Dutch iPhone users into using his software to “jailbreak” their device. When the supposed jailbreak is complete and the phone is rebooted, users ...
