This is Geekologie Reader Owain’s killer robot Halloween costume. He’s particularly proud of it because he found a way to still drink while wearing a mask . Clever, Owain. I mean I’m still gonna kill you, but clever. Picture

"How To Drink And Still Wear A Mask": Geekologie Reader’s Killer Robot Costume

? Todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay is the greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatest daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I’ve ever knoooooooooooooooooooooown ? See what I did there? It f***ing sucked, I know. This is a video of a bunch of pumpkins being smashed shot at 1,000 FPS set to some creepy-ass music. It’s Halloween weekend, so I thought it would be appropriate . Also: making a lot of fake blood , getting drunk, then passing out in it on the kitchen floor to scare my roommate when he got home. Long story short I got way too drunk, was unresponsive, he freaked out, called the police, they came, woke me up with smelling salts and busted me for weed. So yeah, Halloween’s off to a great start. For everyone celebrating this weekend INSTEAD OF ON ACTUAL HALLOWEEN, have fun, be safe, rot your teeth out with candy and I hope you all go home with the Harley Quinn of your dreams/ Ninja Turtle of your fantasies . I should be around in between witch’s brews so I might throw a couple posts up. Ooooooor just a bunch of mini candy bars (probably Snickers & Kit-Kats). Hit the jump for the damn I need that song on my iTunes.

Note: Slightly larger full-size version HERE . What? It’s Halloween weekend so this kind of post is appropriate. Although, truthfully, I’d also post this on Christmas Eve and you and I both know it. I keep it real! Also, a constant 72F because I don’t want it so hot that I start sweating, but I also don’t want it so cold that my nips get hard because I’ll rub them raw through my t-shirt. I…have issues. New AND out of print ones. I’m what you’d call a hot mess. Except it’s only 68 in here so I’m actually a cold mess with painful nipples. This is a map of what the citizens of each state are afraid is coming to get them. Me? There’s only one thing I’m worried about coming to get me — the police. Just saying, you know how many skeletons I have in my closet? One — the triceratops I stole from a museum! What Is Coming To Get Us [verysmallarray] via The Thing People In Each US State Think Is Coming To Get Them [laughingsquid] Thanks to Casey, who fears nothing but fear itself. Pluuuuuuuuus crazy people with knives, stepping on cracks, heights, dogs larger than 20-lbs, sleeping with less than three pillows, mirrors that aren’t full length, and dreams where your pants don’t fit.

Because what could be better than a bunch of unmanned flying death machines getting infected with a a computer virus , a bunch of unmanned flying death machines have been infected with a computer virus. *crosses fingers for something terminal* The virus, first reported by Wired magazine’s defense blog, is allegedly logging pilots’ every keystroke as they carry out their missions. “Military network security specialists aren’t sure whether the virus and its so-called ‘keylogger’ payload were introduced intentionally or by accident; it may be a common piece of malware that just happened to make its way into these sensitive networks,” the article says. “The specialists don’t know exactly how far the virus has spread.” Reuters posted a story that says the drones continue to carry out missions even with the virus. The article also quotes an unnamed source who said: “Something is going on, but it has not had any impact on the missions overseas.” “Meh, they got a virus — no biggie.” NO BIGGIE?! That’s like sending a kid to school with chicken pox! Or, even worse, no lunch . Don’t forget to pack them, parents — it’s the most important meal of their day. Get it?! Because you didn’t make them breakfast either. Combat drones’ computer systems reportedly infected with virus [latimes] Thanks to Jeff, Admiral Tits (I’d serve under you any day!) and Colin, who once used keystroke loggers to get their roommates’ Facebook passwords, then changed all their profile pictures to penises. OMG — CLASSIC!

Remember Boston Dynamics’ BigDog ? How could you forget, that lifelike f***er was terrifying . He still haunts my dreams at night . AND fantasies. Unthankfully, AlphaDog is now here to take his place. Did I mention he’s 10x quieter than his predecessor, can carry 400-lbs over 20-miles without stopping, and can’t even be pushed over by two grown-ass men? Because that’s all true. Plus — PLUS — he can roll himself back on his feet if he does go down . Me? I can’t even roll my dimply ass out of bed in the morning. I’m serious, it’s still lying there in cookie crumbs. Hit the jump for a short video demo, but skip to 0:50 for the really good stuff to start (attempted push-over, standing up from lying down).

Granted it can only hover at 3-feet, but that’s a lot higher than your UFO. “I don’t have a UFO.” You ignorance pains me, you know that? But Shu Mansheng here? He’s smart . So smart he built an 18-foot UFO (NOT roflcopter ) out of $3,000 in parts (including eight motorcycle engines). It’s Shu’s third prototype and can hover 3-feet off the ground for a solid 10-seconds. Not sure how you can use that to fake an alien invasion , but who knows, maybe he’s gonna hang it in a tree or something.

I’m assuming you all saw the first video of a Hunchback Frankencat . But if not don’t worry, I posted that one after the jump too. What I did NOT post after the jump was ‘NO BILLS’. You think I give a shit if you tack a New Kids on the Block poster up in the comments? I do not. That’s your area, you can decorate it however you like. Unless it’s tagging the walls with ‘FIRST’ a million times, in which case I will lock you all in there and set the f***ing building on fire. Hit the jump for the videos.

Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn (damn I’d hate having to write that on top of all my homework), the 54-year old proprietor of Thailand’s four Ko Art Shops (that specialize in custom scrap metal creations, because you can do that now), went and built himself a tetanus-laden alien (although it does have a Predator-ish mouth ) motorcycle. This is it. It…looks like a great way to impale yourself on a giant metal alien head. Hit the jump for two more shots.

I live in LA and am officially never fixing anything ever again. This is the security camera footage of a local hardware store in Christchurch, New Zealand during a recent magnitude 6.3 earthquake . As you will see, it’s not the place you want to be when the world starts shaking. Standing in a doorframe making sweet, sweet love to a special ladyfriend, yes. I can see it now: “God, you WOULD let an earthquake do all the work!” HAHA — damn bro, now that’s f***in’ lazy! (Double entendre — count it) Hit the jump for the STAY OUT OF THE HAMMER AISLE. (Action starts around 1:00, watch without volume)

They look f***in’ delicious. These freaky-ass ‘Transylvanian Naked Neck Chickens’ (yes, really) are chickens with a genetic mutation that gives them turkey-like necks. Or did one bang a giraffe? I’m on to you, Old MacFrankenstein! The scientists said the effects of the genetic mutation were enhanced by a vitamin A-derived substance produced around the bird’s neck. This causes a protein, BMP12, to be produced, suppressing feather growth and causing the bird to have its bald neck, according to researchers at the Roslin Institute at Edinburgh University. The team said the findings could help poultry production in hot countries because chickens with naked necks were better equipped to withstand the heat. You know what other kind of chicken is better equipped to withstand the head? Nuggets. Seriously, they actually taste better if you cook them instead of just sucking on them frozen. But not by much! Experts unravel ‘churkey’ appearance mystery [bbcnews] via Meet the weird bird that’s half-chicken, half-turkey [io9] Thanks to kelly, who wants to know if they’ll still run around for awhile if you cut their heads off. THEY BETTER!
