It will soon become one of your hand bag essentials. 30 delicious chocolate pills in a blister pack to keep each little pill as fresh as they day they were made, just for you, or a friend you know that may be feeling a little glum.” w/ photos

Lego Turkey Mecha

“You are probably still eating the corpse remains of the 47.5-ton turkey your mom did for Thanksgiving. Which is cool. Unless the brother of that turkey has access to bricks and constructs a weaponized Lego Turkey Mecha to wipe your fat turkey-eating ass out of the face of this planet. This thing seems deceptively inoffensive until you activate the attack mode and it transforms into the amazingly complex beast of destruction and feathered apocalypse that it really is, full of missiles, lasers, and doom-thingie launchers.” w/ photos

They were created by artist Heather Jansch, whose individual works take up to three years to produce and fetch up to $69,764.” w/ photos

Largest R/C Helicopter In The World

“When is an R/C helicopter not just an R/C helicopter? When it’s large enough to carry passengers… Just a tad smaller than a real helicopter, this radio controlled model is powered by jet turbine engines and touted as the largest in the world. Unfortunately, no other technical specifications were provided.” w/ photos + video
