Chocolate Covered Squid

“Covering various foods with chocolate is a good idea in theory, but somehow, somewhere along the way, we’ve stumbled off the chocolate path and have gotten lost in the void. It’s unclear how this started, or who first planted this evil seed, perhaps the French when they first started eating chocolate covered ants? However even the most depraved soul back in those early days could surely never have imagined the day when we’d be mixing chocolate with squid.” w/ photos

Mickey Mouse Vs. Lil’ Dancer

“LOL, Mickey’s got some moves. Can’t be easy doing that in a big stuffed outfit & them clown boots.” — Ruffus

Return Of The Einstein Robot

“With a big bushy moustache and a shock of white hair, scientists have modeled an ultra realistic robot on Albert Einstein. Although it is unable to ponder complex theories such as general relativity, the robot has helped scientists develop their understanding of emotional intelligence. Using specialized software the machine can recognise and respond to a number of human facial expressions in a natural way. Such reactions are a major feat of engineering, according to chief designer David Hanson, from Hanson Robotics.” w/ photos

Human Vs. Firecrackers

“It’s the Han Dan festival from Taiwan, where bare-chested volunteers are attacked with hundreds of firecrackers.”

Billion-To-One Bullet Collision

“As an illustration of luck, it doesn’t get much more explosive. This remarkable picture shows how two bullets from opposing troops fused after striking each other in mid-air. The odds of the clash are said to be a billion-to-one and it could well have saved the lives of two soldiers. What makes the discovery more incredible is that the bullets are 150 years old and were found on the battlefields of the Crimean War, now in Ukraine. One has been identified as Russian, the other French. The discovery is said to have been made close to Balaclava, site of the notorious Charge of the Light Brigade, one of the most notorious events in British military history.” w/ photos

Pi Ice Cube Trays

“When hosting the next soirĂ©e at your geek bachelor pad you’ll need the proper equipment to ensure success. All three major gaming consoles, a flat screen over 40″ wide, a well trained dungeon master, a complete Star Wars action figure collection, and a fully stocked liquor cabinet are a must. But how about ice? You were planning to use that standard vaguely cubical stuff?… or worse the boring half-moon shape your fridge churns out? Well fear not intrepid nerdy party planner! ThinkGeek is here with the geekiest ice you’ll ever find… Pi Ice!” w/ photos

Stacking Boulders

“Hand cut and hand polished, the Stacking Boulders provides hours of fun and creativity. Stack the Stacking Boulders as tall as you can without the tower tumbling down! The trick is that the Stacking Boulders are carved unevenly to increase the challenge of stacking them high. Great to play with alone or in challenge with a friend. See how tall you can stack the Stacking Boulders!” w/ photos
