Nothing gets me more worked up than a woman in Star Wars-themed apparel. I don’t care whether it’s a full-bodied Stormtrooper costume or this R2-D2 Swimsuit. If she’s wearing it, I’m drooling. This one-piece swimsuit is modest enough for even the most conservative women, but geeky enough to keep me completely interested. James Lillis designed this R2-D2 Swimsuit, which is ...

CleanKey Keyboard is Completely Submersible

Some people have weird needs. Don’t ask me why you would possibly need to type while completely submerged.

Have no respect for yourself? Excellent. You’ll surely be interested in Michel de Broin’s Dumpster Hot Tub. He essentially took your standard, disgusting dumpster and modified it into a hot tub. It’s a very odd mod and I don’t know what to think of it. I mean, I’m sure it’s relaxing but I’d feel pretty gross hanging out inside a ...

What’s That Noise? Just My Kid Drowning

Not every kid can swim like Michael Phelps, though every kid ought to. Parents, we understand. Sometimes you just don’t feel like sitting around watching the kids splash the water from the safety of dry land. After all, if they aren’t winning Olympic gold, what’s the point?

Got Phelps?

After winning 8 gold medals, the amazing Michael Phelps has been compared to just about every oceanic life form existing on our planet. Yes, Michael Phelps has even been compared to a sea urchin. Of course this has led to an epidemic of Phelps apparel that everyone and their mother will be adorning for the next 30 years or more. ...

Why Stay Homeless? Get A Skip

Oliver Bishop-Young, a Goldsmiths University graduate, demonstrated projects regarding skips at the New Designers showcase in London earlier this month. For those not familiar with a skip or what it is, simply put: it’s a dumpster. With the massive amount of idle skips laying around the city and all the crap we throw into landfills, we might as well get ...

Waterworld: Submergency Ball

The next time I go swimming, I want one of these Submergency Balls to play with. You can set it to sink or float to any depth in the water. Throw it in and try to find it before the timer goes off and it starts flashing. The ball even blends in with the water, thanks to the aqua blue ...
