Designed by Chrissy Conant, the Chrissy Skin Rug is actually a very personal creation by the designer, signifying her relationship with her parents or some other mommy-daddy-type issue. I’m more focused on how disturbing this thing is. It sort of looks like a slaughtered blow-up doll. If there was a blow-up doll serial killer, their home might feature a rug ...

The Coppertone girl would have been in some serious trouble if instead of a cute little black doggy, there was a very hungry shark targeting his teeth for her buttocks. The Shark! Bean Bag Chair illustrates what it might have looked like had the Coppertone girl been in the ocean, rather than on the beach. There’s nothing more comfortable than ...

This disembodied cow (sorry Muslim Hindu readers) has been stuffed with computer parts, making it one of the more bizarre case mods we have ever seen. Included is a mini ITX motherboard, 20GB hard drive, 256MB DIMM RAM, Combo Drive CD R/RW DVD and an integrated 200-watt PW120 power supply. Milk sold separately. Link

There’s a new trend gliding through the air and it smells like pony shit. The last few weeks have produced some of the coolest gaming mash-up toys we’ve ever seen, thanks to the integration of popular game characters and My Little Pony dolls. We’ve seen a bunch in the last weeks, but we can honestly say this has become some ...

I haven’t watched Nickelodeon since about the time Ahh! Real Monsters came on the air, but I still get a hint of nostalgia everytime I hear the channel name or see some of their iconic green slime. Hours and hours of watching Doug, Rugrats and Rocko’s Modern Life will do that to you. Dell and Nickelodeon have partnered to introduce ...

Ice sculptures are the type of thing you imagine old men doing in small Alaskan towns. But apparently there are some aspiring ice sculptors who like to add a taste of geekery to their art. This Optimus Prime ice sculpture would be great for chilling a small swimming pool full of beer. Other than that, I don’t see much use ...

Built using hundreds of strategically placed LED lights suspended from threads hanging from the ceiling, the “Man With No Shadow” is a life-sized dude designed by Makoto Tojiki. He has a sort of Dr. Manhattan thing going on, especially with that Smurf-colored Tootsie Roll he’s packing in his non-existent drawers.

That’s what this world is lacking. Blind artists. No, I’m not talking people who would think are blind because of their awful color schemes. I’m talking straight up blind people. Don’t they have, like, a sixth (well, fifth for them) sense? The Touch Color device allows blind people to create their own colorful works of art, using braille and tactile ...

After spending so much cash on x-rays, they usually wind up in some abandoned file, strewn in a closet or junk drawer. Take advantage of your old lady osteoporosis bones and at least use them for something. It might not be the most polite umbrella, but it’s something. Hope you have good medical insurance! You’ll need it to save up ...

Asymmetry is a big no-no in the world of interior design. But much like any other rule, there are exceptions. This Donkey Kong shelving idea is definitely not symmetrical, but the dash of gaming culture it adds is SO worth it. Anyway, the asymmetrical parts sort of cancel each other out. Am I right? It brings Donkey Kong from the ...
