Two things are fantastic when made at home: lemonade and tanks. Two brothers from Maine built this tank they call the Ripsaw MS1. It’s controlled by two people, a driver and a gunner. The most impressive feature is that it can hit 60 MPH in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 80 MPH. Not too shabby. Link [via]

That tequila shooting pistol we wrote about was child’s play compared to this real shot gun. No, not shotgun — shot gun. It’s a gun that shoots shots of booze wherever you aim it. It’s called the Shots Gun Drink Dispenser and it’s sure to be the life of any party. What makes it so rad is it can fit ...

Meet Remi Gaillard. He’s a real Italian plumber (except he’s French). The kind that drives a go-kart in live traffic, throwing banana peels at those trying to pass him by in an attempt to thwart their course. Yes, this man is playing Mario Kart for real. A hilarious video that’s well made and fun to watch. Don’t miss out. Link ...

I always find myself stubbing my toe when navigating through my room in the dark. It hurts like hell. If only I had this nightlight/charger for my iPhone. With the $40 dollar reviveLITE, I’d not only be rejuvenating my iPhone’s battery, but I’d also be saving my toenails from an otherwise gruesome deformity after colliding with an unforeseen object. Developed ...

Fishing around for the right size wrench or screwdriver is always a huge pain in the ass. Rob Maslin must agree since he decided to design some bolts that screw in using standard currency. Though it works best with hex coins, the idea could easily be applied to fit American coins and maybe even those nifty spy coins. The real ...

In my younger and more vulnerable years, I owned many action figures from the hit TV show Transformers. Of course, in those years we didn’t have access to bitchin’ projector clocks with Optimus Prime’s head mounted for show such as this one. This decapitated Optimus Prime voices your favorite phrases from the show, like “Autobots transform and roll out.” You’ll ...

While I love power tools of all shapes and sizes, I don’t own many due to the lack of a workspace in my home. However, I did take enough shop classes in high school to know what a sharp metal blade can do to your finger. That’s why inventor Steve Gass created the SawStop, a mechanism that senses electrical conductivity ...

It’s Friday and you know what that means: Ryan is menstruating again. We’re currently locked in a heated battle over IM on who reigns supreme in the world of music: Metallica or Judas Priest. It all started when I told Ryan that anything Metallica did in the 1980s was harder than Judas Priest or any other band, including but not ...

I wish I had a better excuse for why we post so many things related to toilets. I really do. But hey, who doesn’t love something related to a place we get to spend quality time at? This toilet paper is part of a promotional campaign from bag manufacturer Crumpler. 100,000 rolls of this stuff will be distributed, crass design ...

In need of a new watch but sick of what Swatch is offering? Armatron not really your thing? Try out TooLate, an Italian watch company that’s recently brought its designs across the pond to our shores. Each watch is only $30 and is waterproof. There’s the time and date and nothing more. Very minimalist, but then again, so is time. ...
