The zombie-proof house is laughable, until they come.

There’s paranoid, and then there’s prepared.  The only difference between the two is that, to go from paranoia to protected, something bad has to happen.  For example, the zombie apocalypse.  You might be paranoid now as you design a zombie-safe home, but when the zombies come?  The website All That Is Interesting has uncovered the world’s first zombie-proof house, a two-story concrete block dwelling from KWK Promes called “The Safety House.”

So how safe is this house?  Well, for starters, you can seal off the entire first floor from outside entrance using some heavy-looking movable block walls and metal security doors.  The only permanent entrance to the house is on the second floor, and that is protected by a removable drawbridge/gangplank type of thing that folds up perfectly into the profile of the house for maximum protection.  About the only thing the house doesn’t seem to provide is a courtyard for raising vegetables and livestock for a long-term eating solution during zombie outbreaks.

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
