Wacky Clock


I love this wacky clock over at Christiaan Postma. This unique clock has 150 hours hands on a large blackboard background. All the hands rotate to form 12 words from "one" to "twelve." The words represent the hours of the day.

You can check out a fast forwarded animation of the clock in action here.

This very odd but classy clock had to take a lot of thought and planning but the look is a great payoff. Anyone with this in their house will look very sophisticated. Of course, that would never fly in my house because I'm anything but sophisticated... now if it had little lightsabers as hour hands, that would be different story.

Photoshop Disasters

In a world where photos are easily altered and faked, thanks to photoshop, where can one go to see those photos that have gone horribly wrong? Well, Cosmo7 over at Photoshop Disasters has stepped up and is sacrificing his time and webspace to share with us the rejects. The photoshop photos that are either horribly done, make no sense, appear to have been done by monkeys, or are just simply funny to look at. I've picked out a few choice photos that I liked but you are welcome to go to his site and check the entire collection.


No one actually needs a belly button right?



You have to love those romantic moments with three-handed women.



This guy was so excited about this game that he bought tickets three times!!!



She is so happy that even her stomach has changed colors.

How to Spot a Cylon

This upcoming Friday, April the 4th, is the beginning of the end for Battlestar Galactica but that doesn't mean that you have to stop loving this brilliant show for a second. Forbidden Planet has a brilliantly funny poster for sale that will give you 10 easy tips to keep in mind when watching out for cylons.


The picture quality is low (as if they didn't want anyone to get the image for free). So for those who aren't going to buy the poster, which I'm sure most of you are to lazy/poor/cheap to do so, here is the list written out for you.


  1. Do they ask questions about fleet operations, personnel, ship systems, or weapons?
  2. Does their spine glow red when they are....excited?
  3. Have you seen them before but you know it's not the same person?
  4. Do they seem unusually strong, smart, or self-assured?
  5. Do you see them hanging around secure or restricted areas?
  6. Do they seem to hear music that no one else can hear?
  7. Do they say God instead of Gods?
  8. Do they seem unusually fearless, as if neath has no meaning for them?
  9. Do they exhibit sociopathic behavior around other humans, especially defenseless children?
  10. Are they unusually adept, almost empathic, with machines?

Valentine Miis


Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I'm sure you geeks in love are trying to find a way to show it. Why not combine two great things... chocolate and Miis. At PaulPapeDesigns.com you can order a box of these lovely chocolates in a Wii shaped box. Unfortunately, the only draw back is that the chocolate Miis only come in the default male and female shapes but you can choose your combination of the two (ex white chocolate female with a dark chocolate female).

You should also check out the site for the Mii wedding cake figures, personalized Mii figures, miniature WoW figures, and WoW mining ornaments. Definitely a place catering to us geeks.

Change Your Underwear

American Inventors Spot has posted a pretty funny collection of unique underwear that they consider... well "fun to wear." I don't know if I agree with the "fun" part. I think "funny" would be more appropriate.

Well, take a look and decide for yourself if you would ever wear these unique undies.

Sac Free Underwear

This is for those kinds of guys that want to let it all some of it hang out.

Remote Controlled Vibrating Panty

Great idea... a remote vibrator. Perfect for those times when you are feeling naughty and are 15 feet away from your vagina.

Forget Me Not GPS Panties

A gift that says "I want to know where your underwear is at all times but I'm not going to let you know I know." Sounds like a lot of trust there.

Underease Flatulence Filtering Underwear

It may not be silent... but now it's no longer deadly.

Stick Your Sign on Velcro Thong

I some how doubt someone would read the "message" written on them because if they have gotten that far the real message should already be clear.

Backless Panty Brief

I guess that's sexy for some people, but I don't the skid marks left on the inside of the pants would look too attractive.

Wireless Digital Sports TV Bra

For guys that want to stare at boobs well still watching sports.

Ball Bra

Perfect for those visits to the doctor and you want to look your best when you strip.

Glow Light Thong

Consider them runway lights for the crotch.

Convertible Shopping Bag Bra

If a lot of woman wore these, I bet more men would love to go the store for the free show.

Ball Warmer Cozy

Nothing says love like a hand knitted cozy for your genitals.

Headlight Bra

Okay, making the "headlights" literal is pretty lame. They might as well make a bra that is designed to look like melons. Losers.

Driver Fined For Honking Horn
The driver was fined for honking his horn at an idiot pedestrian who WALKED INTO THE STREET well on a cell phone. The cop who gave him the ticket said, "The horn is a courtesy rather than an insult. Used unnecessarily it could alarm other drivers and increase the risk of an accident by distracting them." Yeah... because walking into the street doesn't cause accidents.

Lawyer Sends Threats to Five Men To Pay Child Support...Just Because They Have the Same Name
In a blatent case of stupidity, five men received letters threating them to pay child support or pay &550 dollars in child support to prove they aren't. This makes perfect sence since one of them was 3 when the child was born, one is impotant, and one that is 79. I just love when a lawyer looks at a phonebook, sees 5 guys with the name they are looking for and say "Fuck it. Let's accuse them all of being the daddy."

Little Violin


I've been thinking about it and thinking about it and I finally decided to get it. I went out and got myself a little violin to keep in my pocket. The plan is to keep it with me at all times so I can take it out and "play" it when ever I get tired of someone whining or complaining about something. A very nice ender to an annoying story whether they laugh or walk away I will be satisfied.

Additionally, I plan on "accidentally" pulling it out of my pocket when I'm hitting on a girl and give some sob story about how it's to remind me of a dead relative. Throw in some fake tears and TA-DA!!! I have a phone number...or more (wink wink).

Big Binds

Remember Binds from a few posts ago. Well, I was challenged to scale him up. So I did. I used the binding clips that were a size bigger than the ones I used for Binds. Thus, I created Big Binds.

unfortunately, two problems arose from the creation of Big Binds.

The first problem was that, despite popular belief, the larger binding clips aren't scaled up versions of the smaller ones. They have different dimensions, widths, and of worst of all different elasticity to them. If you look closely at Big Binds in comparison to Binds you will I differences in the lengths of his legs and arms and that I had to add a few supporting clips to keep it stable.

Despite my efforts the second problem with Big Binds became apparent. He was too heavy for the binding clips to support. Big Binds is too unstable and top heavy thus I was forced to dismantle him immediately after I took the following pictures. I will miss Big Binds, but I suspect I will redesign him and make another attempt in the future.

Binds

I was bored at work a couple days ago. So I started playing with the binding clips. I started clipping them onto each other and noticed I was making a person. I made a few modifictions here and there and TADA!! Here is my binder clip man. I'm calling him "Binds"

Pointless Clothes to "Share" With Others

I don't know about you but I have always wanted to share my clothes with someone...LITERALLY!!! Now my long time dream has come true. Pantalaine.com has set out to bring dreams like mine and dozens of others to life.

Dancing shoes connected at the toes...


A dress that covers a couch...


A jacket that allows two people to hug...


Sweatpants that for some reason allows people to touch your leg...


Yup all winners to me. I want them all, go see the rest of their GREAT selection at their website.

No, wait. I forgot. I'm not a complete and total idiot so um yeah, these clothes are stupid and pointless. But if you like this stuff go for it... and send me a picture of you wearing so I can post it. You'll be famous (unless you suck...then you'll never be famous).

Signs of Anger


Want to tell that jerk who cut you off that he sucks? Is a slow car infront of you being driven by some old person who is so short their head isn't even visible over the steering wheel? Is some punk kid who just got his license bumping his ghetto stereo to music that has more foul language then all Samuel L Jackson movies combined? Well, now you can tell them how you feel with your windows safely up.

Roadrage.com has for sale a special flipbook of 43 in your face insults...um I mean kind advisory statements for other drivers. On one side is the message written out normally, and on the back is a mirror image of the message so you can even complain to the people infront of you.


I'm waiting for them to create the "Is Your Car Compensating for the Size of Something?" sign or the "Why Do You Still Have a License?" sign. Then I will buy it. Until then... I can dream of the day when car horns scream insults.... ::tear::....someday.

Thumb Thing Book Holder


OMG! I know this is weird to you but to an avid reader like me... this is so awesome. After reading a Harry Potter book, cracking my thumb sounds like popping bubble wrap. You can get the "thing" at Spoon Sisters for $3.75 or ABC Stuff for $2.95. You can even check out what the makers has to say at the Thumb Thing Website.

I know. I'm suppose to have some funny or smart-ass remark in my blogs but I'm going to cheat here...

The Navy found they had too many officers and decided to offer an early retirement bonus. They promised any officer who volunteered for early retirement a bonus of $1,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two points in his body. The officers got to choose what those two points would be.

The first officer who accepted, asked that he be measured from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. He was measured at six feet and walked out with a bonus of $72,000.

The second officer who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. He walked out with $96,000.

The third one was a grizzly old Captain who, when asked where he would like to be measured replied, "From the tip of my penis to my testicles." It was suggested by the pension man that he may want to reconsider, explaining about the nice checks the previous two officers had received. But the old Captain insisted and they decided to go along with him, providing the measurement was taken by a medical officer.

The medical officer arrived and instructed the Captain to "drop em", which he did. The medical officer placed the tape measure on the tip of the Captain's penis and began to work back. "My God!" he suddenly exclaimed, "Where are your testicles?" The Captain calmly replied..."In Vietnam."
