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.

I bet it’s a portal to Atlantis! Is this the sonar image of a crasehd 60-foot UFO , 285-feet deep at the bottom of the Botnia Gulf? HELL NO IT’S NOT, DUMMY. And take that foil hat off, you look ridiculous. Swedish sea treasure hunters have found something extraordinary: A 60-foot disc sunk in the bottom of the ocean, with what appears to be 985-foot-long impact tracks leading to it. You see a lot of weird stuff in this job but during my 18 years as a professional I have never seen anything like this. The shape is completely round… a circle. Those are the words of Peter Lindberg, commander of the Ocean Explorer. He and his team found the strange disc on June 19 2011, at 285 feet below the surface of the Botnia Gulf, which is located somewhere between Finland and Sweden in the Baltic. Well shit, somebody needs to dive their ass down there and put this mystery to rest! Wait a minute…isn’t this how Michael Crichton’s ‘Sphere’ started? Oh shi-shi, now I’m thinking about ‘Jurassic Park’ again! *taking off pants* Hit the jump for a video about the finding.

Clouds : sometimes they look like dinosaurs. Other times they might look Yoda , Jabba the Hutt or a viking ship. And even OTHER times, they look like this this. A unique formation some meteorologists want to classify as a new type of cloud, and give a name . Give a name — ha! It’s not like it’s gonna come when you call it. Whipped into fantastical shapes, these clouds hang over the darkening landscape like the harbingers of a mighty storm. But despite their stunning and frequent appearances, the formations have yet to be officially recognised with a name. Experts at the Royal Meteorological Society are now attempting to make it official by naming it ‘Asperatus’ after the Latin word for ‘rough’. If they are successful, it would be the first variety of cloud formation to be given a new label in over half a century. Asperatus?! That’s a terrible name. I say we start a petition to name them ‘Geekologie Writer’, after the Latin word internet slang for ‘that d-bag with all the word magic’. Oh — oh geez: ?Butterfly in the sky — I’m at least thrice as high take a look, I ain’t in no book, I’m a f***ing cloud, yo? Hit the jump for several more shots of the Asparagus or whatever.

Because there’s no greater joy in life than the smile of a child someone else’s misfortune , this is a video of a guy building a 13,000 piece domino pyramid, and having it collapse on him as it nears completion. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!! It’s the simple things, you know? This would have been the biggest 3D domino pyramid on YouTube and very probably in the world (not a Guinness record though, they don’t have such a category yet), with a bottom layer of 27×27 dominoes and 13,482 pieces in total, but there seems to be some kind of Egyptian curse on domino pyramids. I didn’t even make a mistake here, it toppled all by itself when it was more than 96% completed, with just 439 dominoes missing Probably frequently asked questions: - This took about 30 hours of actual work, spread over five weeks. - I AM FINE. First, it would be much worse if I had actually messed it up — but it wasn’t my fault, as you can see in the video. Second, I’ve been a domino-builder for more than eleven years, so it’s not the first time I have to cope with a project toppling too early. I wasn’t even really sad, just dull. “I wasn’t even really sad, just dull.” Whoa, when a person stops feeling feelings — that’s when you know it’s bad. If I were him I probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed the next day. FOR A YEAR. And then only to pee and eat a gallon of ice cream. I guess you could say I’m sensitive… to a woman’s needs. SHOW US YOUR TITS! Hit the jump for a time lapse of the build, real-time of the collapse.

Obviously it’s not unsolvable , it just takes longer . Like aging a fine wine or making love to yourself after a long, lonely night of whiskey drankin’. Using 3D printing technology, puzzle-maker Oskar van Deventer managed to create this insanely complex version of the cube. Oskar assembled the cube from 1539 individually dyed pieces, resulting in this oversize 5.5? cube. And since the design has actually been turned into a digital format, you can print one for yourself - for the low, low price of $2006.54 (USD). As tempting as two grand sounds, Oskar (get out of that trashcan!), I’m going to have to decline. You see, I can’t even solve two dice . DAMN YOU, SNAKE-EYES, WHERE’S THE OTHER ‘1′?! Hit the jump for a close-up and Oskar holding the giant block like a proud father.

I know what you’re thinking, but no, that’s not a Juggalo. It’s a homemade Rorschach mask that actually changes designs when worn. How does it work? Thermochromic paint. I don’t even know what that is but now I want my whole bedroom painted with it! Using Thermochromic paint pigment and clear screen printing base, you can now make an ink blot mask that changes like the character Rorschach from the movie the watchmen. As you breath in and out, the color of the mask changes from black to white wherever the wearer’s breath hits it and warms it to a point above 86 degrees F. The video tutorial is after the jump, along with a couple other videos I found on Youtube of people who’ve made similar masks. Admittedly, they’re pretty awesome. I’m probably gonna make one and use it to rob a bank. “I dunno, it was a guy with a sock over his head — looked like there might have been a winged devil painted on it. Which — does that mean I have daddy issues? ” Hit the jump for the videos.

In this week’s ” growing things that look like other things ” news, a Chinese farmer has learned how to grow Buddah shaped pears . But are they sacrilegious to eat?
