You know what the world doesn't need? Oscar Mayer bacon infused hot dogs. Do you know what the world is getting anyways? Oscar Mayer bacon infused hot dogs. And just in time for Memorial Day! Dare me to light a firework in my mouth?! Bacon dogs: because hotdogs shouldn't be all pig @$$holes...

DeviantARTist JouzuMania is developing papercraft models for all the vigors in Bioshock Infinite. So far he has versions of the Undertow and Murder of Crows bottles that you can download and make yourself. I might actually try to do these. I'll fail miserably, but I will try. And aren't they...

I swear this is an internet classic that I saw and posted years ago, but after a search I couldn't find it on the site so here it is anyways (or again). This is a video of a bunch of dudes attaching explosives to the ends of giant hammers and then smacking them on the ground. Apparently the hero...

This is the styrofoam cup some guy drew on while waiting for his car to be repaired at the dealership. Me? I usually see what they have in the snack machine, make a cup of bad coffee, then take a seat and think about all the different ways I'd rather die instead of sitting there waiting. You'd...

This is the $12 Millennium Falcon model sold by Strapya World. It comes as two sheets of flat metal, but with enough time and patience, you can turn it into a little little Millennium Falcon. With less time and patience you can turn it into accidentally stabbing yourself and bleeding. With zero...

This is the custom engagement ring box made by TheModelMaker to look like the house from Pixar's 'Up'. It's the perfect engagement ring box to say, "If you die on me, I will become a crotchety old man." Reminds me of the time I asked a girlfriend to marry me with a Monsters, Inc. engagement ring...

Presumably to dig us out of this massive deficit, the government is auctioning a former Air Force One plane, which it will probably replace with another Air Force One plane that's newer and 10x more expensive. You know, I wish we could choose where our tax dollars went because I'd want mine just...

This is a series of digital paintings by 19-year old Hungarian artist Flora Borsi imagining what the models for some famous abstract portraits might have looked like. Definitely not the kind of models you'd want posing nude. Speaking of, when I was in college I took a drawing class and we had...

These are Link's quest items from the original Legend of Zelda game all brought to life by thanks to the Hyrule Foundry 3-D printing technology. Hopefully not brought to life by 3-D printing technology? My little sister's doll collection. I don't know how she sleeps in there, they f***ing watch...

Remember back in February, 2011 when Detroiters pulled together and funded a Kickstarter to build a giant RoboCop statue? Can you believe that was over two years ago? TIME IS FLYING. I feel like I'm going to wake up tomorrow and be 60 and be all, holy shit, nobody ever changed my sheets. The...

This is the giant floating assault rifle artist Michael Murphy made by suspending black ping pong balls from the ceiling (it's actually like twenty feet deep -- more shots after the jump). SURPRISE, it's supposed to carry a powerful social message. And apparently not one about the scarcity of...

This is the Lamborghini Egoista, a 5.2-liter V10, 600-horsepower supercar that can hit 0-60 in under two seconds. It was designed as a one-of-a-kind to celebrate the carmaker's 50th birthday. For my 50th? I dunno, maybe somebody will come scatter flower petals at the site of my failed spaceship...

This is a video from National Geographic of a lightning strike filmed at 11,000-frames/second so 1-second of real-time footage takes 3-minutes to watch. Impressive, but you know what would have been even cooler? If they filmed it so 1-second took FIVE YEARS to watch. I don't want to miss...

This is the birthday cake made by Wedding Cakes By Nicole featuring Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Tetris and Frogger scenes on each side, and Pong on the top. And if you think I wouldn't peel all those characters off and eat them you are wrong. Dead wrong. If you were a video game you'd be blinking GAME...

This is the Forms In Nature light sculpture. When lit, it makes it look like shadowy vines are climbing the walls of your room. When unlit, everything is dark and the chances of stubbing a toe increases exponentially. Forms in Nature is a artwork with a light source surrounded by a dense and...

This is a short compilation video of Commander Riker sitting down in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He always approaches the seat from the rear then kicks one leg over it. Why? Presumably to draw attention to his nuts. I do this thing whenever I win a game of foosball where I hook both thumbs...

This is Skywhale, a giant hot air balloon created by artist Patricia Piccinin for the Australian National Gallery. Now that's some fine art if I've ever seen it and I've been on over a dozen museum field trips. Plus we went to Gettysburg once but that was less fine art and more me hunting for...

This is the ComfyBreasts Relaxation System. It's a full body pillow with a hollowed out section to rest your breasts in and relieve pressure on them. Because remember ladies: a comfy tit is a happy tit. Also: a boob in the hand is worth over a dozen in the bush. The ComfyBreast pillow is...

This is a video of Commander Chris Hadfield performing a revised version of David Bowie's iconic 'Space Oddity' while floating around the International Space Station. It's worth a watch, and I'm half surprised James pursued a career in space exploration instead of music. Also, anybody else...

This is a series of photographs from Mineralblu Photography of some Twinzik cosplayers dressed as Simon Petrikov (the future Ice King) and Marceline from Adventure Time. Touching, isn't it? You? You should be not touching right now. Put your hands down. I SAID PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN. Why do you...
