Seen here looking a little spacy herself, this is a news report by Adrianna Iwasinkski regarding the dangers of digital drugs leading teens down the slippery slope to analog drugs and, eventually, to turning tricks in the mall parking lot to get their next fix (been there done that, amirite?). If you’re unfamiliar with digital drugs, you can read the old Geekologie article about i-Doser , or jump right into the video. But just a heads up (in case my parents are reading): Geekologie does not condone drug use of any kind — be it digital, analog, digilog OR analital. Except booze, which isn’t so much a drug as it is a miracle elixir that keeps me sane ($5 HJ’s if you bring me an Orange Julius). Hit it for the parental fear that’s sweeping the nation.

Let’s not kid ourselves, we all know the best foods come on sticks. Case in point: bacon , corn dogs, chocolate covered bananas and popsicles. AND NOW WAFFLES ! Possibly made by the Bluth Company to compliment the Corn Baller, the Lolly Waffle Maker can cook four 9-inch wafflesicles every two minutes. Which, if I learned anything about solving word problems in math class, is well over 14 waffles an hour. Breakfast will never be the same again. And not just because you’re gonna be wearing butter and syrup on your shirt more often. No, eventually you’ll start experimenting with them in the bedroom and next thing you know — GAAAAHH!! — you’ve poked both your partner’s eyes out with a wafflesicle stick. Safety goggles. That’s the real lesson here. The Wafflesicle Maker Has Changed Breakfast Forever [gizmodo]

I don’t know what it is about this guy, but I really wanna throw a handful of change at him. Except not actual change, just a handful of washers. Then while Luke Panhandler there is scurrying around picking them up I’ll steal his lightsaber . Well, provided he hasn’t already pawned it to support his glitterstim habit. Kidding, kidding — that’s what Jedi blow-j’s are for. Flickr Thanks to Cowbell Fever, who, CRANK THAT BELL UP TO 11 AND BREAK OFF THE CLAPPER! Wait, no — better leave the clapper.

This is a Passat somebody lifted and added some big-ass tires to. It looks ridiculous and I wouldn’t be caught dead driving it even if somebody killed me and propped me up in the front seat with a brick glued to my foot. Of course, then you might argue I couldn’t help but be caught dead driving it, in which case — shit, I’m calling my lawyer.

How We Made the Most Painful Toy Hack Ever [harcoslabs] Thanks to nichire and Aaron, who take turns tasering each other because that’s just good old fashioned fun. HIT ME AGAIN!

Maybe you already knew this because you’re a Hogwarts graduate but Universal Studios is opening a Harry Potter themed section of its Islands of Adventure park in Orlando this spring. Magic! From what i can tell it’s gonna be like three rides ( NSFW ) and twelve ridiculously overpriced restaurants and stores. Whee! (Get me a new wizard hat) Speaking of Harry Potter, you know what I saw the other day? Some grown-ass adult driving around with a ‘My Parents Blatantly Hid My Hogwarts Acceptance Letter’ bumper sticker on his car. So you know what I did? I honked to get his attention and then waved my own little wand at him. Yeah, it was pretty magical. Official Site Thanks to evan, who cast off his wizard robe and hat and was subsequently banned from all amusement parks.

This is a video of a Polish truck driver drifting his semi (sans trailer) for a minute straight. It was pretty impressive and definitely put those asshats in ‘The Fast And Furiously Beating Off To Modified Civics’ to shame. Per the video uploader: best driver from poland kopiowanie bez zezwolenia zabronione!!! komentarze z ksywami lub nazwiskami ewentualnych drajwerow beda usuwane I honestly have no idea what all that said but I assume they just called me something dirty. OH REALLY? Well how many Poles does it take to drift a semi? 10. One to sit in a stationary truck and 9 to not know how to fake it with CGI. Oooh — BU-BU-BU-BURN! Youtube Thanks to mike, who once drifted a dump truck for eight minutes before all the wheels blew off and it barrel rolled into an embankment. Awesome.

The $200,000 WaterCar is the lovechild of a Corvette that fell in love with a cigarette boat. But, like having sex with a mermaid , everyone will tell you it was just a manatee. Get a Corvette engine, rig it up with a Dominator Jet drive, and then strap it into a floating car, and you get the WaterCar Python, the fastest and highest-performing amphibious vehicle in the world. If zipping over the water at a top speed of 60mph doesn’t float your boat, it’ll accelerate on land at a neck-snapping 0-to-60 speed of a mere 4.5 seconds. Call me old fashioned, but I like all my vehicles single-purpose. If it drives on the road, I don’t want it in the ocean or sky. I mean, that’s just more stuff to go wrong. And wrong, my friends, is the opposite of right. And two Wrights made an airplane. ZING! Thanks for that one, dad. Hit the jump for several more shots and a video of the thing in action (worthwhile stuff starts at 0:50).
