A Really, Really, Really Big Telescope

There are big telescopes and then there are really big telescopes. However, this is really, really, really big telescope, able to see inside your soul from London to New York. The Victorian-looking contraption is the invention of Paul St George, a 53-year-old artist based in London.

Sawyer Nickname Generator

I’m a big fan of Lost and one of the most entertaining characters is Sawyer. He has a nickname for everyone on the island. If he really likes you, he has several nicknames. Lost came up with a nice distraction that creates nicknames that Sawyer would give you based on your name and personality. My [...]

Dressing Like A DJ Is Embarrassing, But Effective

The Anti Shoe

Part future, part geriatric, MBT’s shoeware embodies both ugly and cool. At first glance, it would appear that their shoes are perfect for rocking your foot back and forth. However, after digging deeper (actually reading their marketing copy), it ends up that the design is actually ergonomic – designed to relieve stress on your body [...]

People With Elf Ears

Some of the elvish ears are real and some are fake, but all are strange. And strange can be a good thing, especially when elf ears are on a hot girl.
