Even those of you who are more compelled to play with handheld gadgets (and bodily appendages) will not be able to take your eyes off of the incredible Spanish miracle which is the Tramontana R-edition. Utilizing aeronautical technology within a brute Formula 1 race car, the R-edition can go from 0-60 mph in about 3.6 seconds, and looks like it ...

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to save the Earth. These 60 Bags are an awesome line of biodegradable carriers which degrade in about two months, or 60 days. Aptly titled, huh? Made and developed in Poland, the bags are manufactured out of a flax-viscose non-woven fabric (which actually sounds pretty edible if you happened to be ...

I need not tell you how we feel about the Nintendo Wii here at Gearfuse. All I’m saying is that this screenshot from the game Excitebots is making me crack up this morning. “SUPER SANDWICH?” Seriously? Link

As a college student, I’d like to think I’m the go-to expert on all things peanut butter and jelly. It’s an inexpensive meal that is not only classic, but also delicious. That’s why you should take your leftover birthday money your ‘rents gave you and purchase these handmade PB&J pillows off Etsy. Created by user Diffractionfiber, each pillow is 16″ ...
