This is a nearly funded Kickstarter for Ferrite Interactive Liquid Sculptures. They’re basically TMNT ooze canisters with a magnetic liquid ( ferrofluid ) suspended in another, clear liquid that you can manipulate to make cool shapes with external magnets . Contributing $100 gets you a mini one when (if) they’re manufactured next July, $150 a large one, and $200 scores one of each. You’ll have to watch the demonstration video after the jump though to fully appreciate them, just talking about them doesn’t really do them justice. But do you know who does do justice? My crime fighting alter-ego, Captain Handsome. Dashing, isn’t he? “That’s just you ducking behind a movie-theater cutout of that kid from Twilight .” It’s true. I used to have a Batman one but my roommate fought it and won. Hit the jump for the worthwhile video demo and a link to the Kickstarter page.

This is a video of Mika explaining Star Wars: A New Hope . Mika is Japanese and practices her English by watching and explaining movies. If you like this one, there’s a bunch more, including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi , Avatar, Inception, Spiderman and The Matrix. Hands down she does a better job that I could ever do. So there’s this one gold robot that talks all the time and is annoying as shit, right? And he hangs out with this other one that looks like a trashcan from the future and I don’t know if they’re in love or what but they definitely have SOME SORT of thing going on and then there’s this chick with cinnamon roll hair and she is like totally doable looking but if you saw her now in real life you’d be all HOLY SHIT WTF HAPPENED TO HER? It looks like time has been VERY unkind. Downright mean even. Okay, so I actually did better than I thought. Hit the jump for more movie spoilers than you could wave a Rosetta Stone CD at.

Karmasheetra is a 19.99 (~$32) bedsheet that shows you how to GET. IT. ON. Before you go running out to buy one though: you have to have two people . Otherwise you’re just doing yoga . Just slap your ass, hands and knees on the numbers corresponding to the particular position you’ve chosen, and presto!, you’re not disappointing your lover for once. Kidding, of course you still are . I actually bought one before reading the directions and thought you were supposed to play it like Twister. I wound up banging the back of my own knee. I’m not really proud of it, but I DID just tell you, so obviously I’m not really that ashamed either. Hit the jump for one more shot and a link to the product page.

You know how they say people look like their dogs ? That’s because most people are ugly (alternatively: pugly ). I don’t look anything like my dog . I look like something Michelangelo would have carved out of marble with a diamond dong, and she looks like she’s licking her vaj and doesn’t care if I’m watching WHICH I’M TRYING NOT TO. Pedigree’s New Zealand branch hired design agency Colenso BBDO to come up with a new way to get the word out on pup adoptions. Using the idea that dog owners tend to look like their pets, Colenso teamed up with NEC to develop Doggelgnger, “Human to canine pairing software, designed to connect real homeless dogs to their human doubles.” You can go to the site and use your webcam or an uploaded photo to see what dogs you look like, which, SPOILER: ugly ones. At least that’s what it gave me and I’m what 4/5 dentists gynecologists would describe as “devilishly handsome” and “not supposed to be in here”. Hit the jump for a couple more shots and the link to try it for yourself.

Gallium (Ga, atomic #31 between zinc and germanium) is a silvery metallic metal not found elementally in nature. But that’s not what’s important, what’s important is it melts just a little above room temperature (~86F, 30C). So you can mold it into whatever you want (but NOT a dildo!) in the fridge and then pass it off to an unsuspecting friend as steel and watch it melt on them . Oh the hilarity! In this demonstration, a spoon molded from gallium is stirred in a cup of warm water and melts almost immediately. Imagine if that were a friend’s coffee! You could tell them it’s mercury and they’re probably gonna die! Huge fan of the ‘you’re gonna die!’ pranks. You could say I live for them. Get it?! Me neither, I got high at lunch and shouldn’t have! Hit the jump for the demo and a couple websites to buy pure gallium if you want (it’s not super cheap though, around $40-$60 for enough to make a spoon — it is reusable though)

SPOILED ROTTEN — like an egg! This is a video of a functional Angry Birds bizzle dizzle cizzle made by a father for his son’s sixth birthday . Which, I’m not gonna lie — I want that skull shirt. It’s become a family tradition that I make increasingly ridiculous birthday cakes for my kids each year. So with my little boy Ben turning 6-years-old over the weekend, and appreciating his love of Angry Birds, I thought I’d have a shot a making him a playable Angry Birds birthday cake with working catapult and iced birds as ammunition. Certainly brings new meaning to the phrase “playing with your food” amirite? ” Seriously GW — please tell me you didn’t just write that.” I, uh, totally didn’t just write that. BONY BONERS! That either. I’m also not downloading nakey pictures. Hit the jump for the build and some bird-slingin’ action.

This is a bunch of superheroes minimalized to their bare identification necessities . Can you name them all? I couldn’t. I’m still convinced half of them are breakfast cereal mascots. I SEE YOU, COUNT CHOCULA! You too, Quaker Oat-man. Illustrator Fabian Gonzalez strips comic book characters down to their bare essence in his clever new graphic Minimalism Heroes. The 30-year-old freelance designer, who says he grew up on Marvel and DC Comics, created the image for a T-shirt competition. In honor of his favorite superhero, Gonzalez placed an instantly identifiable icon in the upper left-hand corner. “Batman was the superhero that originally got me hooked…” There’s a key after the jump in case you want to see how well you did, as well as for those of you that didn’t even bother trying because you’re so damn lazy. And for that, I salute you. Or at least I would if it didn’t involve so much arm lifting. Hit the jump for the answer-key.

Note: You’re not gonna have much fun playing it at this size, click HERE to see the thing in full-res and start making decisions! This is a flowchart you can use to “play” every computer RPG all smushed into one. I tried it a couple times but kept getting stuck in the “enter your name” circle. These games can be so tricky! If you’ve played a lot of role-playing games, you know that the stories blend together after a while. A plot twist or character death might have been shocking the first time, but after seeing the cookie-cutter scenarios repeated in an endless stream of titles, you feel like you’re just playing the same game over and over. Well, we have the solution. Instead of shelling out for the next big Japanese RPG, just go through our handy flow chart. You’ll save money and time while getting the exact same experience! Well — did you win? Congratulations! Pfft, and your parents said you were a born loser . I knew you had it in you! What exactly I don’t know, but I suspect an alien’s seed . You krinky as a mofo! Every RPG Ever [gamingbolt] Thanks to Belpheegor, who’s actually played every RPG and can attest to most of the ending with him screaming and throwing a controller.

Ever wonder what the lovechild of two different Pokemons would look like? Me neither, I’m too busy brainstorming the world’s hunger problem. My Mother Teresa-ness aside, Pokemon Fusion allows you to morph two Pokemons together to see what their offspring might look like. Basically it takes the body of the first species, and adds the face/coloration of the second. It reminds me of those programs that morph your and your boy/girlfriend’s face so you can see what it would look like if you had babies. Which, fun fact, I’ve never been able to do without the program crashing. IT’S BECAUSE I’M UGLY, ISN’T IT?! No? Because I have a bunch of viruses on my computer from pr0n sites? I’ll take it! Pokemon Fusion Thanks to Zaphod Beeblebrox, Pokeemanz and Braden, who at least a third of pointed out that Butterfree + Primeape = Butterape (It was Zaphod!).

‘The Challenging Stage’ is a little online puzzle in which you scroll around a map and guess the video games represented by visual clues. For example, that’s ‘Double Dragon’ there in the picture. Can you guess all 56? I couldn’t. Granted I stopped at 7 to toast a bagel and mix another margarita and then lost interest, but that’s only because I realized I drunkenly downloaded Peggle on my PS3 last night. Have fun entertaining yourselves, suckers! Kidding, KIDDING — I’m your slave. Your love slave. Psyche! I couldn’t live with myself if I found out I was the reason you left your hand. The Challenging Stage (actual game) via The Challenging Stage [jayisgames] Thanks to Rico, arguably the suavest tipster to ever exist.
