You see that lovely wedding dress? It’s not just a lovely outfit, it’s a lovely outfit made of, get this… toilet paper. That’s right, it’s a squeezable soft, extra absorbent, ridged for extra cleaning bridal gown.
That lovely dress, fabricated over a two week period by Katrina Chalifoux, won the fourth annual toilet paper […]
Remember that awesome viral video of that office worker going completely insane? Well, as it turns out, that wasn’t just some great hidden camera footage.

Who doesn’t love a relaxing day on the golf course? The sun’s shining, the grass is green and lush, there’s a nice cool breeze blowing through the trees. Oh yeah, and there’s also discarded military explosives right off the tee box. Wait, what?
Right off the 5th hole, Freddie McGee was operating a bulldozer with another […]
We’ve all been hedgehog-throwing mad. I know I sure have. It’s important, when you’re at your angriest, to step back, take some deep breaths, and slowly put down the Erinaceinae, because if you’re anything like the New Zealander who threw the last hedgehog, you’ll end up paying a hefty fine.
While $545 is a pretty steep […]
The playground is supposed to be a happy place. Filled with kids running around, having fun, screaming with laughter and delight as they gambol and cavort about like beasts in the field.

No, I’m not talking about the Marilyn Manson album Mechanical Animals, but close to it.
One of the greatest things humans can do is rebuild things they’ve damaged. From bionic tails for dolphins and artificial coats for featherless penguins, to an artificial beak for a wounded eagle named Beauty, humans have come a long way when […]
We all know it’s going to happen. One day or another, someone will invent a vigilante robot or something and the next thing you know the entirety of Planet Earth is a post-apocalyptic wasteland with gunfights in the streets, rioting, and Australian kids throwing boomerangs at people. It’s a bad scene if you’re unprepared, but […]

You know, in my youth, I was a big fan of the movie The Rocketeer. What could be cooler than throwing on a bullet-shaped helmet, donning your asbestos underpants, strapping on a big tank of explosive and flammable jet fuel, then sparking a match and taking off in a leg-charring woosh of flame and gel […]

The Chinese government has launched a building (and demolition) frenzy the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Works Progress Administration was launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. One of the most interesting of the 300 new buildings that are going to be built in Peking’s business district is the so-called Falling Towers, […]

My two favorite hippies have done it again. Today, Tuesday April 29th, is Free Scoop Day at any one of 580 Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop locations throughout the world. Ice cream is delicious normally, but there’s nothing as good as free ice cream! That’s the sweetest scoop of all.
Not sure where your closest retail store […]

Any good motorist has some emergency supplies in their car. Even most of us bad motorists carry around extra oil, radiator fluid, and a spare tire. If you’re prepared, you’ll have a pry bar, maybe a flashlight or some flares, and even a spare blanket. Even if you don’t have any of that stuff, you’ve […]

I think that the oceans are incredibly fascinating, if only for the wide variety of creatures, both cute and frightening, that live beneath its waves. While even stuff on the ocean is neat, there’s nothing that compares to the freak show that is your average bottom-dwelling ocean fish. They’re like slippery nightmares from […]

If you stray too far from realism, into the realm of the farcically fantastic, then your audience response goes from “Oooh, neat, I want that!” to mocking laughter. Unfortunately, as Io9 points out, […]
