Oven-baked in their native Cambodia, these very real tarantulas are available from ThinkGeek for $24.99 a piece, complete with fangs and hair. They’re ready to be eaten straight out of the package, described as crunchy and a Cambodian delicacy. Baked, not fried like other less-healthy cooked tarantula alternatives, each tarantula is chosen from carefully monitored sources to ensure their preservation ...

I can fall in love with any girl that has a grasp of Star Wars trivia. It’s a weakness of mine. Unfortunately (but fortunately for her), this model is not one of those woman. For one, Darth Vader never, ever would be caught dead using a blaster. And what the hell is that disgustingly smooth, hairless and perfectly tanned stuff ...

We’ve been celebrating Halloween for 2000 years. Originally inspired by pagan traditions, the trick-or-treat holiday has evolved into a night of scares and sugar, with a complete lack of religious inclinations. To be honest, I barely knew anything about Halloween before reading this infographic. I never knew the incredible commercial success Halloween offers to retailers. But it makes sense. Tons ...

Hey there, sugar cube. I heard you like horse play so I put a horse on your mask so you can horse around while you horse around. This Horse Head Mask is not only a great Halloween costume, but also makes the greatest gift of all time. It’s creative, unique, strange and everyone wants one as soon as they see ...

Whatever your preferred breed of evil might be, whether you enjoy desert living or the advantages of blending into a crowd, there are ways to purchase a helmet solution for any path you desire to take. But never before has there been such an easy way to create your very own Stormtrooper Helmet, using only two empty gallon milk jugs, ...

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of the year again. It seems like only yesterday we were praising the efforts of big-headed men and pixelated women. This year, we predict Halloween is going to be much more culture oriented. Look for lots of Lady Gaga, Jersey Shore and perhaps Steven Slater costumes. For those of us who don’t dress ...

Former JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater caught the eye of the nation on August 9 when he made a grand exit from both the flight and his job. If you don’t know the story, the general premise is that drama queen Slater, according to his story, was driven to his breaking point by a disgruntled customer, at which point Slater ...

As a native New Jerseyan, I can fully assure you that Jersey is nothing like it is portrayed in the show Jersey Shore. Not all of us go around lifting up our shirts and showing off our abs. Not all of us get drunk everyday of the week and hook up with random strangers. No, no. In fact, many of ...

The days following Halloween are always a lot of fun. Not only do we get to munch on mountains of leftover candy, but we get to see photos of everyone’s awesome finished costume ideas. This Big Head Self-Portrait Papercraft costume is one of the neatest I’ve seen yet. Eric Testroete got a little cocky. I mean this guy’s head was ...

Ok, so this costume WOULD have been awesome had we heard about it, say, a week and a half ago, but alas, Halloween has come and gone and now we’ll have to wait another full-year before we can dress up in this Low Resolution costume, and possibly make up for our awful Borat costume we’ve worn for the second Halloween ...
