Finally! A gadget I can actually get behind. One thing that really gets me, a real pet peeve, is when I’m eating a taco and all the tasty shit inside flies out of the shell everytime I place it on my plate. Tacos have an abnormally awkward center of balance, so there is almost no way to not have shit ...

While it might not be quite hot enough to melt us humans into bubbling piles just yet, summer temperatures can make us feel like our skin is literally falling from our bones.

The French gallery “Le go�t de Luxe,” or Taste of Luxury, integrates edible edibles, mostly fruits and vegetables, into fashionable products. ...

Why are mutated or disfigured animals so much cuter than normally developed ones? Dare we say it’s some sort of “runt syndrome?” For the first time in the wilds of Kenya, park rangers of Hellsgate National Park have spotted and photographed an adorably ugly albino buffalo. Park officials say that the albino’s light coat will make the buffalo more noticeable ...

While I applaud the concept of mashing together the classic design of Rubik’s Cube and the iconic gadgetry of alarm clocks, I’ve got to admit a slight disappointment that turning off the alarm doesn’t entail actually solving the puzzle. Would the complete and utter frustration be worth the ultimate geek cred you’d obtain with one of these things at your ...

Back in 1980, cocaine was up and coming and Europeans had plenty of it. As they did their daily bumps, shoving the cursed powder into their bodies, an idea sparked in the mind of one Trevor Fiore.
