There really are no words I can say to describe how desperately this “toy” scrapes the bottom of the fun barrel.  All I see are poor children being beat up with these goofy caps on their heads, or coming home with the worst cricks in their neck ever.

But who knows, maybe it will make a [...]

The product of an accidental explosion during exploratory natural gas drilling, the Darvaza Crater has been perpetually burning since 1986, looking like something straight out of the Fallout series.
My only advice?  If you visit, don’t fall in.  But in all seriousness, this reminds me of the Centralia coal seam fires in Centralia, Pennslyvania, a scenario [...]

I know this has been all over the blog-o-sphere lately, so I might as well throw my 2 cents in, too.
The Gina concept from BMW is hot hot hot, and I really wish they would make something like this for mass production.  (Too bad I can’t help but think of the Hindenberg when I see [...]

Balakov outdid himself in his amazing Flickr set, where he reenacts famous historical photos with legos.  I have many fond memories playing with legos as a kid. Honestly they are the best toy for a kid to have because it let’s them learn how to first follow directions, then build and create whatever they want [...]

Contact juggling is a type of juggling where the object that is being handled is nearly always in contact with a part of the body.  Now your initial reaction might be, well what’s the point of juggling if things aren’t airborne?  My response to that is that the effect is totally different, and when you [...]

I’m a sucker for a good conspiracy theory.  I guess part of it is that like the underdog belief system challenging ubiquitous preconceptions, and just the thought of having another way to understand the world around you.  This is a real neat one, guaranteed to at the very least entertain, and at the very most [...]

Just some incredible stock/archival footage of driving around NYC in 1928.  There’s also a bit of footage from the movie Speedy in there (although I’m not sure, it may all be from that film).  It includes some great shots of places like Times Sqaure, Washington Square Park, and DUMBO (before it was made famous [...]

Matteo Ferrari is a photographer who takes pictures of people who drive the same car for years on end.  The result is wonderful to look at.

I think it’s just amazing that these people get so much life out of their automobiles, to begin with.  Hooray for responsible driving and maintenance!  Check out the rest of [...]

Born in 1867 and disappeared in 1925 while searching for what he called “The Lost  City of Z” with his son, Jack, Col. Percy Fawcett is the inspiration for the character Indiana Jones.
True to form, just like the character he inspired, Fawcett had an equal disdain for snakes.  According to The Museum of Unnatural Mystery

This has been floating around online for a little while now, and I’ve been meaning to post it up.  The squid was caught in 2007 and frozen, and was finally taken out for study a little while ago.  The scientists even ate some of it! (Apparently it tastes like sashimi).

This one is for all the conspiracy buffs out there.
Flickr user squareintheteeth has posted a great gallery of an old Masonic handbook from the 20’s
“Pictures from an enciphered Masonic handbook detailing their rituals and speeches, printed in 1920.
Since this guide and previous editions were published prior to 1923, as per US copyright law, the entirety [...]

“[D3O is a] dilatant material developed by the British company d3o Lab.
This lightweight material is very flexible and malleable, until subjected to abrupt force, making it useful in protective clothing in situations where the wearer may be exposed to blunt trauma.”
This looks pretty amazing and is already being used in products. I can’t help [...]

Full Story here.  This would be highly amusing if it wasn’t so tragic.  Admit it, we’ve all wondered how many ballons it would take for use to become airborne.  We hope for the best for the Priest.

International News is so much better than American News.  I’d much rather see stories about Mammoths than listen to celebrity gossip plugs and political propaganda in my evening news.  How come we haven’t seen this on American TV at all?
I wonder what cloned mammoth tastes like… mmmm… mammoth burgers…

In life, there are simply some things you never have enough of.  Such is the case with Silly Putty.  Luckily, there is hope and it comes in a 5lb box (gigantic shell not included).
Honestly, I was never satisfied with making a little bouncing silly putty ball.  I needed to make a silly putty kickball!  And [...]
