This is a Volkswagen Golf print ad that appeared in South African copies of Auto Trader magazine that’s actually edible . It was accompanied by the line ‘Eat the Road. Seriously, Eat It’ and was made from “glutinous rice flour, water, salt, propylene glycol, FD&C colour, glycerine.” What, no artificial flavor?! Please tell me it at least smelled like new car and gasoline. Clever effort, VW , so I almost hate to break it to you, BUT ALL PRINT ADS ARE EDIBLE. Don’t believe me? *tears out and eats ad from Playboy* See? *licking lips* Mmmmmm, that one must’ve had titties on the back! Hit the jump for a picture of the ad not in some guy’s mouth.

I hate eating . It takes up precious time plus I’m fat . But what if homecooked meals were easier to make? THEY ARE, THEY’RE CALLED HOT POCKETS. But did that stop MIT cohorts Marcelo Coelho and Amit Zoran from conceptualizing this ‘Cornicopia’ digital food printer ? Oh hell nah son! this 3-D printer concept is a personal food factory that fuses the digital world with the realm of cooking by storing, precisely mixing, depositing, and cooking layers of ingredients with no waste. Cornucopias’ printing process begins with an array of food canisters filled with the “cook’s” foods of choice. After a meal selection has been made using the device’s multi-touch translucent screen, users are able to see their meal being assembled while simultaneously manipulating real-time parameters, such as calories or carbohydrate content. Each ingredient is then piped into a mixer and then very precisely extruded, allowing for very exact and elaborate combinations of food. Once each ingredient has been dropped, the food is then heated or cooled by Cornucopia’s chamber or via the heating and cooling tubes located on the printing head. Mmmm, that sounds….like Taco Bell. Great, now I want a cheesy gordita crunch. Oooh — and a Mexican pizza. Shit do they still sell Choco-Tacos? Because I will straight up crash my roommate’s Vespa through the drive-thru window if they do. Want anything? Four chalupas and a Baja Blast? YOU’LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT! Hit the jump for several more renderings.

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]

This is an artist’s rendition (INVENT A TIME MACHINE ALREADY, GOD! ) of Leviathan melvillei , a 12-million year old sperm whale that used to snack on other whales thanks to it’s powerful jaws and foot-long teeth . ZOMG — imagine the damage you could do at In-N-Out with those things! “This is a pretty exciting discovery,” says Erich Fitzgerald, a vertebrate paleontologist at Museum Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. Leviathan represents “one thing we don’t have in the oceans today — a macropredator, a hypercarnivorous whale.” Modern sperm whales feed largely on invertebrates such as giant squid, but have been known to feed on fish and other creatures as well. The extremely robust, deeply-rooted structure of Leviathan’s teeth strongly suggests that the creature fed on large, presumably struggling bony prey like sharks do. The whale was named in honor of Herman Melville, the author of Moby-Dick , which, no lie, was actually based on ancient tales (I’m like thousands of years old) of my white whale. So technically it should be called Leviathan gwmegapeen , but I’ll let it slide. JUST THIS ONCE. Ancient Whale + Killer Shark = Hypercarnivorous Whale [wired] Thanks to Mr Geek, Christian, Matty, Grace, Jennaiii, Divo, and Sam K, who would have trained the whales to be ridden and looted Atlantis.

Well folks, for those of you that don’t keep track of things, it’s March (and you probably can’t find your car keys ). Like mid-March. I know, I thought it was still January too. But it isn’t. It’s March 14th, which — 3.14 — Pi Day! And in five years it’ll be 3.14.15. What a special one that’ll be! And for everybody out there that’s all, “it’s actually 14.3.10 today”, you know what — YOU CAN’T RAIN ON THIS PIE PARADE! YOU HEAR ME?! You couldn’t even hail on a cake walk! Pi Day’s Wikipedia Thanks to they’re real and they’re spectacular, Leslie, and whoever else reminded me that today was Pi Day and not just the day I try driving 800 miles without dying.
