Blow Job Olympics

“The Olympic committee has officially added the sport of BLOW JOBS to the 2008 Beijing Summer Games linup.”

World’s Biggest MPC Sampler

“…7ft square MPC style midi controller. Weighs in at 750 lbs including intel mac, 22″ screen, 10 knobs, 8 momentary switches, 2 mod/pitch wheels, and 16 led backlit silicon pads.”

Heavy Metal Candles

“The Atelier WM wax candles are shaped in the realistic form of a hand which is then twisted and bent into recognizable hand signs. The universal sign celebrating heavy metal rock with the pinky and index pointing up mimicking devils horns comes in black and red.” w/ photos

Danny Way’s Big Air Bail

Danny Way decides to test the limits of gravity while trying out the world’s biggest vert ramp… He failed over and over and over… especially during the 1:00 mark.

The Woolly Jumper

“Perhaps he fancied a change of scenery. Or maybe he had just spotted a particularly tasty bit of grass. But whatever the reason this daredevil sheep caused quite a stir when he decided to climb onto the roof of a two-storey house. The animal got stuck and had to be rescued from the roof in Harrogate, North Yorks, after finding its way into the garden of one of the nearby cottages. The intrepid sheep managed to jump onto a small outbuilding before skipping up to the top.” w/ photos

How To Make A Cardboard Cat Bed

“Although we don’t claim to understand it, a cat that has installed itself in a cardboard box is a happy cat. You can exploit this mysterious fact to make a your own simple corrugated cardboard cat bed like this one, designed as a kitty-sized chaise lounge. Since it’s just cardboard, it’s also easy to modify this basic design to suit your own (or your cat’s) taste.” w/ photos

World’s Most Expensive Bass

“German luthier Jens Ritter has long been known for his high-class instruments, but he’s now topped his previous form. He’s built a gold and diamond-encrusted bass. The bass, called the Flora Aurum, is to go on sale for $250,000 in Las Vegas. The retailer is Wynn And Co – not a guitar shop, but a jewellery dealer.” w/ slideshow photos

Computers Made From Toasters

“These toaster PC systems may not toast bread, but they do however provide all-day entertainment and would be a great complement to your breakfast nook.” w/ photos

Futuristic DDR Machine

“The MX10 Workout Master mimics existing DDR systems in design, but it manages to feature a number of internal games inside to keep your workout sessions fresh. Additionally, the machine not only recognizes fancy footwork, but built-in sensors can understand arm flailing as well, and you can even “jam out to your own music” while breakin’ a sweat. Most interesting, however, is the fact that its also an internet-enabled machine, meaning that exercise freaks across the land can compete against one another, giving even the least motivated individuals something to work for.” w/ photos

The 3PS60 Controller

“Wanted to show another one of the controllers I’ve done. This one is a Wired CL version 360 controller stuck in a DualShock PS3 shell. This mod is done with the PS3 board (original version) stripped of almost all of it’s parts and the controllers daughter board kept intact (mostly) and the CL board cut to about the size of the battery in a PS3 controller.” w/ photos
