Monster Mash

You’ve always wondered where to stab Godzilla right? Well thanks to bookofjoe – and whoever came up with these – you’ll now know what to do when faced with a building sized Japanese monster.

Too Pac? Not in this hood

That title right there folks is a hip hop reference. It’s just for Ben.

The rest of this post is simply to inform you that if you truly love me you should buy me this for Christmas – or my birthday – it is the same day so I’ll even let you get away with combining the presents…

Banana art – do do, do do do

If your an artist the world is your oyster and bananas are your pearls… or something. Here’s a bunch of banana art.

Duck Tails

Duck Hunt was way ahead of its time. The mystery was spoiled a little when the magic of the zapper was revealed. But its popularity lives on. Immortalised in shirts like this

And photographic mashups like this Space Invaders photo… well, this is tangentially related…

Candid camera

Here’s another addition to the myriad passive aggressive signs posted for our viewing pleasure. A public service reminder not to document your misdemeanours on camera and leave it in a public place…

From here.

Saw melon

I saw this watermelon art a couple of days ago – and it’s been floating around waiting to be posted (and possibly haunting me in my dreams since… seriously). There are more of these here. It makes my head hurt.

Settling the great geek debate

A while back I was trying to figure out the difference between nerds and geeks. My hypothesis is that the terms are not interchangeable. I think the matter is settled once and for all by this Venn Diagram

How many nuns could Chuck chuck

These aren’t real (well, nobody sells them), but if they were they’d be deadly and awesome.

Found here.

Stool tools

Never let it be said that any content is beneath me…

Everybody needs prank poo in a can right? This must be the biggest untapped market ever. And now it’s filled. You can buy it here. It’s even scented.

I don’t think this is going to be featured on Cool Tools any time soon.

Burgerama

Everyone loves a good burger. For the record you can buy the best hamburger in Townsville at the Cactus Jack’s Saloon Bar on Flinders Street. BP Cluden’s burgers are good. But they pale in comparison to the Cactus burger. Which pales in comparison to this world record winning effort (from this is why you’re fat).

That’s a Guinness World Record Book winner.

In honour of that effort here’s a burger bed you can’t buy

And a burger cushion set that you can

Shirt of the year: Really

I normally call my shirt posts “shirt of the day” – but this one is exceptional. A shirt with a built in Lego base plate. It’s the ultimate in customisability.

Available from ThinkGeek.

So that’s how these things work

I’ve wondered what it is that makes Macs cool. I think it might be that they’re powered by guinea pigs.

I’m not sure how they fit them into the laptops…

Actually, this makeshift animal cage is pretty cool. I’ve always wanted to turn an old TV into a fish bowl. But it’s really dangerous. There are things in old cathode ray TVs that can kill you. Apparently. Anyway, kudos to Ali who worked valiantly to find something on the internet that I hadn’t posted before…

Whey cool game

Test your knowledge of fromage and fontage with this Cheese or Font game.

Who names these things?

Butter me up

I won’t be eating deep fried butter anytime soon… not if I want to win the little competition I’m having with Robyn.

But it is real. Here’s how the guy who makes it does it

“So here’s what Gonzales does: He takes 100 percent pure butter, whips it until it is light and fluffy, freezes it, then surrounds it with dough. The butter-laden dough balls are then dropped into the deep fryer.For purists who just want the unadulterated taste of butter, Gonzales serves up plain-butter versions of his creation. For others who want a little more pizzazz, he offers three additional versions with flavored butters: garlic, grape or cherry.”

Pac chair

These Pac Man chairs look like a big yellow circle of comfort.
