These Grenade Ornaments, designed by firm Dorthy, are not only pretty, but they also make a statement. And that statement is that military paraphernalia looks AWESOME as holiday decor. Don’t let the images of amputee children ruin your Christmas. These ornaments add a little bang to your otherwise lousy tree. That’s right. Your tree sucks. What you gonna do about ...

And they really thought they could avoid weighing themselves by hiding their own scale. Nice try, fatty. There’s no way to avoid your morbid obesity now. There’s no blaming it on your big bones. The scale doesn’t lie. Either does the fact that you can’t fit through my door without shimmying ever so delicately. The Doormat Scale won’t let your ...

Hey man, don’t come crying to us when your new Garden Noam starts correcting your linguistic skills or berates your guests with tirades about U.S. foreign policy. We totally warned you and we might just let an “I told you so” fly. Garden Noams are the new Garden Jawas are the new Garden Gnomes. Link [via]

If you’re getting sick of washing your kids’ mouth out with Gmail, maybe it’s time to make a soap switch. This NES Controller Soap is just as geeky, perhaps even more so, than the Gmail soap. And while it probably doesn’t taste nearly as good as Beer Soap, that would sort of be the point. Shipping in packs of four, ...

Earlier in the week we posted about a mod which would allow for two USB ports to take the place of a standard electrical socket. But why bother with a clumsy DIY when you can have the best of both worlds (like a tranny!) thanks to the TruePower UCS power socket with included USB ports. The wall socket connects right ...

Please… please mister, turn off the lights and unplug your sockets… I just… I just can’t go on. This carrot looks less and less appetizing with every step. It’s just not worth it… oh God….. Do it for him. Turn off your gadgets when you leave the room. Save yourself some cash and save your wall hamster from exhaustion. For ...

Closer resembling a set of luscious melons (Mmm, cantaloupe,) Bubble Clox add a new dimension to your time keeping.� Being the first spherical clock I’ve ever seen means this is the coolest one of its kind by default. So it has that going for it. If it’s wrong to want to grab a pair of these and hump the air ...

The future is now… almost. Soon enough, we’ll have no need for conventional electronic outlets because everything will be powered via USB. At least until everything is powered by simple kinetic energy or just by the air itself. We already have a ton of gadgets which are powered via USB, most notably the iPhone and iPod. This awesome step-by-step how-to ...

The tastiest set of atomic goodness was hard to find, but we might have just found the winner. These Periodic Table Cupcakes emulate the elements. Not only are they color-coded and educational, but absolutely scrumptious looking. Despite lacking the scientifically correct Lanthanoids and Actinoids (What? No Uranium?) we’d still down these baked smidgens of heaven like it were our job. ...

Dessert is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving. An essential part and the perfect ending to a turkey and stuffing meal is warm apple pie. But you know us well enough now to know that we wouldn’t let the blatant Apple reference simply soar into the wind. There just had to be a way to make our apple pie ...
