I don’t quite understand the association between toys and grandfather clocks. Maybe because grandparents are the bearers of awesome toys? Don’t know, don’t care. All I know is that this clock made of secondhand toys is pretty damn nifty. Don’t be put off by the hokey “grandfather” name. This clock will keep you young at heart. Link

It’s not everyday you get to see a Escherichia coli bacterium up-close and personal. But British artist Luke Jerram�s �Glass Microbiology� series brings the microscopic world into the limelight with sculptures designed to resemble viruses and bacteria. To create each one, Jerram used images from an electron microscope and had guidance from virologist Andrew Davidson of the University of Bristol ...

This poor Peanut has been living in the same mediocrity for decades now. It seems totally unfair. I think its about time Charlie Brown had himself a makeover. Growing up with the Peanuts I have to admit, I grew sick of Brown’s wishy-washy shit. There’s only so much indecisiveness I can take. Maybe a new look can give Charlie a ...

If you haven’t checked out or even heard of Barbie Massacre, you’ve gotta check out the site. If you have any sort of morbid curiosity for violence and crime mixed with the cultural phenomenon of Barbie dolls, it’s a must see.

What I wouldn’t pay to be at this party. Featuring all of your favorites, staring at the Adult Swim pool party is a surefire way to hate the winter even more. Gotta love how Brak is petting Brian. Brian’s expression is pretty classic. Even da a-freakin’ Pope makes an appearance. Link

OK, so sue me, it’s not one of those real “hey-look-at-me-I-actually-hold-tea” tea bags. In fact, there’s no tea involved at all. But what does happen is pretty magical, tea-free and all. Dunk the “tea” bag into a mug of water and the magic happens. Glowy, pretty magic. If you like this tea bagging, just wait until later. I’ll show you ...

Artists Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic decided that YouTube just wasn’t getting enough press on its own, so they took it upon themselves to create artistic sketches of popular YouTube videos. The duo took classic frames from the videos and immortalized them by drawing them on paper which will disintegrate way before the fiberoptic cables of the internet. The internet ...

Murder Ink is not your average notepad and is certainly not for the weak at heart. Meant for only your most evil of memos and most sinister of grocery lists, the Murder Ink Notebook leaves a bloody surprise for your loved ones or co-workers. Depending on where you work this might not go over as well. If you work in ...

Designed by illustrator Cliff Chiang, these reimagined album covers feature classic comic book heroes, though I like how these heroes aren’t the overplayed, traditionally spotted comic heroes. We’ve got comics such as Vampirella and The Teen Titans, rather than the overly portrayed X-Men and Batman renditions. Though Batman is slyly added with the slick reimagining of Purple Rain.

Standing at a looming 2,684 ft, eclipsing the old record holder, Taipei 101, by over 1,000 feet, the Burj Dubai, the newest tallest building in the world (for now), officially opened for business today to the tune of an extravagant fireworks presentation. Officially titled the Burj Khalifa, the 160-story record-setter became the center of a real estate explosion, one apartment ...
