  • Slingshot maestro risks life and digits to sling saw blades [video]

    May 29, 2011
    Everybody’s favorite slingshot engineer Joerg Sprave is back risking his life and digits again with another dangerous-looking slingshot contraption. His latest creation is a oversized slingshot that fires rotating saw blades… fun times. I would add the usual, “don’t try this at home” disclaimer, but the people that are...

  • End of the world billboards prompt sassy billboard retort

    May 22, 2011
    Although a large part of this author really hopes that a bunch of people raised enough money to raise this billboard somewhere near Harold Camping’s Oakland headquarters – something tells me it is just a quick and easy Photoshop effort. For the record, the Gimp traces in the file...

  • We’re still here and post-judgment day life is pretty awesome

    May 21, 2011
    It is now 6:02 in the p.m. here in Japan and I can confirm that my good Christian neighbor has not been beamed up to heaven; there have been no great earthquakes (except for the one we had a couple of months ago); there are no trumpets; and I...

  • Judgment Day in T minus 52 minutes and counting

    May 21, 2011
    In case you hadn’t heard, some crackpot preacher from Oakland has predicted that all good Christians are going to be whisked up to heaven at 6 p.m. local time. With my love of the fast life and my lack of religion I am apparently going to be subjected to...

  • You really, really, really don’t want to go to Russian prison

    May 11, 2011
    Over my years on this planet I’ve met a few people who have spent time behind bars. Something that I gleaned from their stories is that each person’s experience will differ according to their own character and their country of imprisonment’s philosophy on crime and punishment. In some countries...

  • At last, the great taste of bacon in a lollipop

    May 5, 2011
    I am not a person who eats candy. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good bit of dark chocolate every now and again – hard candy just isn’t my cup of tea. That being said if it tasted like bacon like this bacon-flavored lollipop does, I could probably...

  • Unluckiest man on Earth or awesome faker [Double lightning strike]

    May 5, 2011
    Lightning is some dangerous stuff and despite what many of the “experts” in this video’s comment thread on YouTube will tell you – it does sometimes strike twice and doesn’t always follow the rules. It is lightning man, it does whatever the hell it wants. Anyway, it could be...

  • Osama’s dead, cue the memes

    May 3, 2011
    In case you have been living under a rock for the last few days you will have probably already heard that Osama bin Laden shuffled off this mortal coil with a little help from double-tap to the side of the face. By now his body would have reached its...

  • Fox drops ball with Osama death announcement

    May 3, 2011
    As far as I am aware there are a couple of ways that Bin Laden’s first name can be spelled: the “O” version and the “U” version – Osama or Usama. Spelling it with a “b” – well that is just in bad case for all concerned. Thanks Andrew!...
