Why is it that women just can’t resist tainted fruit? First, Eve came along and fucked up immortality for the whole human race (thanks a lot, Satan), and then Snow White, for some reason, thought some random apple from a poorly disguised farmer would be totally wholesome and delicious. I think the lesson we’ve learned here is never to accept ...

I can’t help that I’m a better person than you. It’s just how it is. I use a reusable fabric bag, rather than one of those ghastly paper or plastic bags. It’s the never ending battle of good versus evil and I’m on the “good” side of the spectrum. I recycle everything I possibly can. I hop in my Hummer, ...

If you’re trying to teach your kids how to tell time, the Redundant Clock, designed by Ji Lee, is likely the last product you should be looking towards for assistance (though we’ve seen some pretty unhelpful candidates). I was debating whether or not to actually write a detailed description for this clock, but that would be rather redundant, don’t you ...

I realize that Steve Jobs is really psyched about turning the iPhone and iPod Touch into fully-fledged gaming platforms. That’s great. There are tons of fantastic games for these devices, produced by powerhouse studios and publishers like Electronic Arts. Unfortunately, the classic NES title Mega Man II is not fantastic. Look at this retarded control scheme Capcom set up. It ...

Wow. Just wow. Take a minute. Let’s get one more “wow” in. OK. WOW. Seems a coffin and urn manufacturer called Eternal Image (you may have heard of them before) pulled quite the licensing deal. It’s now providing officially licensed Star Trek caskets and urns so that when you die and go on to that great gig in the sky, ...

Remember the very first time you watched Terminator 2: Judgment Day and your jaw dropped the minute you saw the T-1000? I remember that day very well and it cemented my love for all things liquid metal. Prototype is a new next-gen console game due out this summer. It lets you take the role of some guy who can morph ...

Hey, if I had a shitload of oil money, I’d probably make everything from my kid to my dog to my iPhone gold-plated. Such is the case in Kuwait, where some rich motherfucker owns a $1.75 million Bugatti Veyron. As you’re probably well aware, the Veyron is the creme de la creme of street legal automobiles.
