Knokkers (slogan: Knokkers are big fun!) is a giant game of pool with no sticks and bowling balls instead of billiard ones . [Insert 10lb balls joke here] It’s the brainchild of Steve Wienecke, who undoubtedly stayed up countless nights trying to think up a better name than Big Balls Bangin’. (I would’ve just run with it, Steve). …the first playable version was built in his backyard in Fredericktown, Missouri using loads of railway ties, gravel and of course concrete. The game is played pretty much exactly like standard 8-ball pool, the only real difference is that before your shot you’re allowed to pick up and move the cue ball, though you can’t move your feet once you’ve touched it. Steve is currently working with investors as they design a portable version of the game that doesn’t require a permanent backyard investment, including more durable 6-pound balls that can stand up to the constant collisions experienced during a regular game. I’m not gonna lie, I’d get drunk and play it. Also, shuffleboard . “Jesus GW, what are you, 80?” No, but I probably have the liver and bladder of one! “OMG, ARE YOU PEEING YOUR PANTS RIGHT NOW?!” I don’t know — am I?

[ohgizmo] Thanks to Stephan, who admits the closest he’s every come to playing with Knokkers is mashing his own moobs together in the mirror. Okay now that’s just f***ing sad.

What cost $6 billion to build and has a 55-story high infinity pool? Give up? Me too. I guess I suck at guessing! Except peoples’ weights at the fair, I made a killing doing that during the summers in high school . “How old and tall are you? Kidding, it doesn’t matter — you’re obese. Congrats, pick a small prize. NEEEXT!” 55 storeys up, this infinity pool could glide you straight over the edge of Singapore, if not the world. It’s part of the $6 billion Marina Bay Sands Skypark hotel, which just opened this week. The pool itself is three times the length of an Olympic-sized pool, and is the largest pool in the world at that height reportedly. Ah yes, the Marina Bay Sands Skypark Hotel. Sounds fancy. Granted not as fancy as the hotels I usually stay at, but one time I did stay at a Motel 6 with a pool in the middle. There was a turd in the deep end and a guy masturbating in the hot tub. I know, I couldn’t believe there was a hot tub either. Such luxury! Hit the jump for several more shots of the ridiculous hotel.

The $200 Solar Power Shower can heat up to 8 liters of water to 140 Fahrenheit in as little as two hours, provided it’s outside in the sun and not in your basement . It’s a lot more sophisticated than a simple camping solar shower, because this one mixes that 140 water with cool water from the garden hose, giving you plenty of toasty warm water at just the right temperature. Impressive, but I don’t really have a need for a solar powered shower. I do, however, have a need for that chick in the picture. Seriously, I’m getting hungry. HIYO! Solar Shower heats water in two hours [dvice]
