Lookin’ good, Gundam . Especially considering you were made entirely out of trash . Haha, your parents lied to you! Now kill them. It took over 250 man-hours to build the RG (Recycle Grade) RX-78-2 Gundam, which measures in at nearly 10-feet tall. Of course, it was built almost entirely from the spare plastic runners and part trees from smaller Gundam model kits. I can’t stand those little plastic hangers. And not just because it requires an X-acto knife to carefully extract the pieces you need, but it does and I’ve stabbed myself in the crotch more than once. “Uh, GW — maybe you shouldn’t hold the pieces in your lap while you’re cutting”. OH SURE, EVERYONE’S A MODEL MASTER NOW. Hit the jump for three more shots of the impressiveness.

10-Foot Gundam Made Entirely Out Of Those Little Plastic Model Piece Hanger Thingies

Note: Full resolution version available HERE for those of you without HD laser vision. Suckers! This is a diagram showing the incestuous relationships between the various car manufacturers . I found it pretty eye-opening. For example, did you know Honda is actually a wholly owned subsidiary of a Norwegian car manufacturer? Just kidding, I made that up because all the lines started hurting my eyes. Like when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Which — anybody seen a grocery bag lying around here? It has a face drawn on one side. Who Owns Who: An Automaker Family Tree [jalopnik]

When I first saw this thing I assumed it was just some steampunky arm somebody made because they’re obsessed with Edward Scissorhands and all around creepy and girls love guys that are creepy (I wanna lick on yo armpits, lady!). Except not really because I have no idea what girls like except flowers and jewelry. They love those things. Everything else is up in the air as far as I know. Anyways, an actual turn-of-the-century prosthetic arm. It’s barely noticeable. Made from steel and brass, this unusual prosthetic arm articulates in a number of ways. The elbow joint can be moved by releasing a spring, whereas the top joint of the wrist allows a degree of rotation and an up-and-down motion. The fingers can also curl up and straighten out. The leather upper arm piece is used to fix the prosthesis to the remaining upper arm. The rather sinister appearance of the hand suggests the wearer may have disguised it with a glove. Among the most common causes of amputation throughout the 1800s were injuries received as a result of warfare. Yeah I would have just rocked a stump. I mean frightening replacement arms are cool and all, but no they’re not either and God forbid you pick your nose or try holding your penis while you’re peeing. Dude — you’re pissing blood… … … …is that a piece of your penis in the urinal? Hit the jump for a couple closeups of the hand.

It was only a matter of time: add-ons that turn Wiimotes into sex toys . Why? I don’t know, but the penis one definitely looks like a robot’s pincers . Thanks but no thanks but okay just this once , amirite?! From the Mojowijo website: The device is attached to the accessory port on a Nintendo Wii* remote control. The control is then connected to a bluetooth enabled PC running Mojowijo software. Using Mojowijo’s patent pending Motion2Vibration technology, the device is able to transform the varying motions of the control into appropriate vibration signals and send them to another selected device - in the same room or over the internet. (Wii gaming console NOT required). Essentially turning your Wii remotes into shared, remote controlled vibrators (aka wii vibrator or wiibrator!) Now I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I find more erotic than knowing the F***ING WIIMOTE ATTACHMENT wrapped around my lifeless wiener is being controlled by a heavyset man hundreds, possibly even thousands of miles away beating his own wiener with a Nintendo controller (in my dreams he’s reclined in a La-Z-Boy with a bag of chips resting on his stomach). Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to take a cold shower. Well technically I don’t need it to be cold, I just never paid the electricity. Who’s the thrift king?! Video explanation of the technology after the jump.

A lot of deaf people learn to read lips , but that’s got to be a tough learning curve, with inexact results at best. Wouldn’t if be great if you could simply give the hearing impaired a written transcript of what you’re saying in real time?

Somebody with a lot of imagination is selling a green pepper that looks like a ninja turtle head on eBay. Personally, I think it looks like a hacky-sack . This is a home grown green bell pepper that, by the hand of God, looks (and maybe tastes) just like one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I think it looks like Michelangelo, this will of course be shipped overnight USPS, bid now its only a three day auction. It sits right now in a vacuum sealed bag, can be frozen if you like. First of all, I think it’s pretty obvious that’s Raphael and not Michelangelo. And secondly, what’s all this “can be frozen” business? Are you out of your mind? YOU CAN’T PUT A TURTLE IN THE FREEZER! They’re cold blooded. Get it?! Because they always reject my advances! eBay Auction Thanks to OneEyedJamie, who lost an eye battling cucumber Shredder.
