THIS IS THE FUNNIEST VIDEO I’VE EVER POSTED.

Athlete - Beyond The Neighbourhood

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I’ve been listening to Athlete’s latest album Beyond The Neighbourhood for a while now and despite some mediocre reviews, I actually find myself liking the album a lot. I probably even like it more than their previous album Tourist.
I recommend listening to “Hurricane”, “Flying Over Bus Stops”, and “Best Not To Think About It”.

Radiator Mug by Stephen Reed

Monday, March 31st, 2008

The Radiator Mug by Stephen Reed is a china cup that’s made to be handled when even the beverage that it’s carrying is piping hot. The Radiator Mug is able to do this by incorporating a heat-sink design that disperses the heat through the cup’s “fins”.
See the illustration below of how the Radiator Mug works.

Dog butt sunglasses

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Believe it or not, I’ve seen many videos of people putting sunglasses on the rear end of a dog, but none so far have come as close to actually looking like a person as the video above. This probably wouldn’t work as well on a dog with a long tail.

T-1000 1:2 scale bust with hole through the head

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

It sucks that it’s sold out, but man I’d totally be interested in buying this 1:2 scale bust of Robert Patrick’s T-1000 character from Terminator 2.
I’d buy it and then put it on my desk at work. Then I would proceed to chuckle under my breath at how awesome it is to have T-1000 guarding [...]
