It might seem like some sort of lazy fantasy, but a Japanese astronaut recently tested out a pair of J-Wear anti-bacterial, flame retardant, antistatic, and water-absorbent briefs which are supposedly wearable for weeks at a time. Astronaut Koichi Wakata says he wore the panties for about a month and received nary a complaint. That’s great that they can use them ...

This photo, taken with an iPhone interestingly enough, shows the first photographic proof that Steve Jobs is actually still alive and not chilling with Elvis and Tupac somewhere in the cloud. The photo shows Jobs leaving Apple’s Cupertino, California headquarters, joined by design henchman Jonathan Ive. He’s looking pretty skinny, but not much worse off than he did at the ...

This is why I friggen’ love street art. His arms might be by his ears and his head might be slightly too pointy, but the Super Mario Fire Hydrant piece of street graffiti is an awesome piece of work. Now where’s the Luigi light post or the Yoshi park bench? Link [via]

Did you know that at one point there was a proposed Mortal Kombat-themed basketball court for one of Acclaim’s NBA Jam or NBA Hangtime games? As it turns out, the court was denied because Acclaim didn’t ...

According to sources and this video proof, some guy has accomplished what many deem impossible. The above video shows the game Portal running on the iPhone. Whether this is just a lite version or a full port of the game is unknown at this point, but either version would be pretty cool in my book. Of course, there are plenty ...

There’s nothing that can’t be made more exciting by adding robots and aliens. That definitely includes boring, old vintage postcards. Flickr user Frano Brambilla uploaded a set of manipulated photos, featuring vintage post card scenes with a little added zesty flavor of sci-fi. There’s nearly 30 of these shots over at Flickr.

Everybody already knows that Chuck Norris is likely the most powerful man in the universe. The Chuck Norris facts illustrate that quite well. Even superheroes like Mario sometimes stand aside to let Chuck Norris do their dirty work. Watch Chuck blast through an army of Goombas. They never had a chance. Link
