Since we happen to be the number one parkour resource on the interwebz, we couldn’t not (double negative, you like that shit?) post this Carl Erik Rinsch-directed video of an animated CGI robot performing some crazy street jumping, inspired by a NIKE commercial. Parkour is so badass, even robots are getting into the action. Link

Look, it’s true, we’re totally envious of this guy’s massive PS2 game collection, we’re just not sure we’d sacrifice any sort of chance we might have had had at a love life just so we could claim to have one of the largest game collections ever. Over the years Syd from Collecterz has accumulated well over 1200 PS2 games, the ...

Apple has had a tough last few weeks, all things considered. Flocks of irritated customers have been complaining about a brown discoloration of the white iPhone 3G S casing, originally thought to be the consequence of overheating. As it turns out, new reports suggest that the discoloration is actually a reaction due to contact with third-party iPhone cases. More importantly ...

How important is Independence Day, you ask? Well, it’s the one day of the year where this guy’s priorities are slightly altered. Okay, okay, and George Lucas’s birthday makes two. So shoot the guy, why don’t you. Have a great holiday weekend and drive safe, fellow GEARheads.

Stuck like my junk in a beer bottle. Don’t ask, please. And please, let me just assure you, this appears to be much more ...

I’ve always sort of wondered how mermaid anatomy works. I figured it would be similar to human biology, just because of the resemblance of our upper bodies, but it’s nice to finally know the specifics, such as the location of the mermaid’s weird-lookin’ vag. I’m confident that this chart was designed by some of the finest marine biologists alive today. ...

Update: It appears this species of fish is known as a Sheepshead. Google Images has more pics of� this incredible and bizarre creature. (Thanks commenter Matt for this discovery!) Still yet to be identified, this unknown species of fish appears to have humanoid-like teeth. And apparently they also have great dental coverage. I’ve seen worse looking teeth on humans who ...

Playing God is entertaining. If it wasn’t, games such as The Sims and the iPhone’s Pocket God wouldn’t be nearly as popular as they are. So why shouldn’t gadgets offering a bird’s eye view of another person’s misfortune not be popular as well? The Falling Books Bookend adds a dose of omnipresence into your study or library.
