This is Rick Hamel’s ‘Mythical Beast’, a seven-foot R/C dragon (with a nine-foot wingspan) powered by a turbine engine that even breaths fire . Man, you wanna know the worst thing is about breathing fire while you’re flying? The risk of melting your face off . Because one time I tried to spit while I was running and hit myself in the eye. Then I got pink eye and got to stay home from school for a week and watch the shit out of The Price is Right. It might have been the best thing that ever happened to me. OR WILL EVER HAPPEN. Just saying, you ever laid in the bath holding a toaster over your head hoping your life will flash before your eyes? No? Me neither then, that would be weird. Hit the jump for a couple more shots, a video of the dragon in flight, and one of its fire breathing abilities, and an interview with Rick about the thing.

To celebrate getting a certain amount of Facebook fans in a certain amount of time, Wicked Lasers promised laser fanatics they’d attach a laser to a shark . And this is it. A lemon shark with a 50mW green laser attached to its dorsal fin. When reached for comment, King Neptune had this to say: “F*** this, I want legs.” Hit the jump for one more shot where you can see the clip mount.

Seen here looking suspiciously like Stephen King, Google employee Paul Carff shows off his homebrew(!) Android beer dispenser . Listen Paul: I don’t care what the hell operating system a keg is running as long as the beer’s cold and my glass is clean. Kidding, totally fine with hot and dirty — just like my dancing . *booty-grinding on copier* Paul Carff combined a Motorola Xoom running ICS with an Arduino microcontroller to create KegDroid, a friendly green beer dispenser. The Xoom acts as a gatekeeper to that brewed goodness, only letting the bot dispense drinks after users swipe an authorized badge. The badge is read by an NFC scanner on the bottom of the case and is then authenticated (or rejected) by the Arduino board. Once the system grants access, users can choose from two selections on tap via a custom Android application displayed on the Xoom’s screen. There’s a video of Paul showing off the entire system after the jump, including one of his own homemade beers, which, according to the rating system he created, has only gotten 3/5 stars. AHAHAHHAHAHAHHA — free beer and your friends are still @$$holes!

This is the ‘Sheep Invaders’ sweater from French clothing designer Monsieur Lacenaire in the style of Space Invaders. Except they’re sheep, not aliens. The sweater costs 279 (~$370) but does NOT include the lumberjack beard or melancholy stare. Of course, if you’re the kind of hipster that’s gonna spend $370 on a video game sweater, you’ve probably already got those IN THE BAG. Also: an album from a band that doesn’t even form until 2015. Cool bike bro, where’s the gearshift? Hit the jump for the cardigan version and a closeup.

This is a giant AT-AT cathouse built for some lucky-ass cat who probably doesn’t even do anything but sleep all day. Jesus, why can’t that be my life? I’d be great at licking my genitals in front of company AND shitting everywhere but the litterbox. The interior of the cathouse even has some bird-head hunting trophies and a little bar (picture after the jump). Wait — A BAR?! Okay, now I’m f***ing jealous. Which gives me an idea… “Make a cat costume and go door to door until somebody adopts you?” Meow. Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the Fancy Feast, here I come!

Who eats paper chips?! This is the conceptual Bloom Chip potato chip container . It may look like a regular-ass Pringles can, but when the paper band is removed, oh boy, it BLOOMS into a shape that makes the chips more easily accessible . Granted it would only be practical for single-serving cans because otherwise when you try folding it back up it’ll crush the shit out of your chips and you’re gonna wind up with nothing but chip fragments . *punching laptop* I F***ING HATE CHIP FRAGMENTS. And if it is only useful for single serving cans you don’t need something that blooms because those cans are already small enough to fit your fingers all the way to the bottom of. Besides, what good is a Pringles can you can’t wear as an aboriginal penis gourd when you’re finished? SPOILER: worthless. Thanks to Luke, who told me Pringles taste like ass. And you know what? He was right .

This is Don Schwabs sporting his Pikachu Pokemon Card costume at the recent Melbourne Supanova Pop Cultcha Expo. You can tell it’s a great costume because you can still wear cargo shorts with it. Thanks to Little Sister, who I promised to protect with my spinning drill arm and rivet gun. I SAID NOBODY TOUCHES HER.

According to a recent study by scientists at MIT , mice fed yogurt grew more luxuriant fur and larger testicles compared to those who ate normal mouse food or the equivalent of mouse fast-food. Haha, and you all laughed at me for eating Activia to keep me regular! First, the scientists noticed that the yogurt-eating mice were incredibly shiny. Using both traditional histology techniques and cosmetic rating scales, the researchers showed that these animals had 10 times the active follicle density of other mice, resulting in luxuriantly silky fur. Then the researchers spotted something particular about the males: they projected their testes outward, which endowed them with a certain “mouse swagger,” Erdman says. On measuring the males, they found that the testicles of the yogurt consumers were about 5 percent heavier than those of mice fed typical diets alone and around 15 percent heavier than those of junk-eating males. No clue if the same results could be applied to humans, but you better believe there’s one blogger who plans on finding out. *spooning entire cup into mouth* “Um, GW? That’s sour cream.” But it’s SOOOOOO much better! *balls shriveling up like raisins* Thanks to Ducan, who heard cottage cheese is the REAL secret to male enhancement.

This is the Phillips’ latest award-winning LED light bulb , a 10-watter that produces the light equivalent (and warm glow) of a 60-watt incandescent and is rated to last 20-years at 4-hours/use a day. Will we even be using light bulbs in 20 years? No, we will not. The world isn’t gonna last that long and heaven glows . Plus there are always fires in hell. The bulb will retail for $60, but rebates are expected to subsidize the cost down to around $20. So, being the intrepid reporter that I am, I went to Phillip’s official site and I saw this: LOLOL @ “Be the first”. OMG dude, did you hear — I got Phillips’ new energy efficient light bulbs! Wanna come over and check them out? The light they put out is like, soooooo f***ing natural. Plus I’m saving a fortune in electricity! “Your life depresses me.” SAME. I almost drove my car off a cliff on the way home. Official Site via A $60 light bulb? Prize-winning LED goes on sale Sunday [king5] Thanks to Evil Ares, who’s so evil he just replaced all the lightbulbs in his house with burning coal.

Two beers to clever, 40-ounces to freedom. According to a recent study performed at the University of Illinois, Chicago, drinking around two beers makes you cleverer and more adept at thinking outside the box . *eye-roll* Shocking news, really. I’ve neeeever come up with anything clever that didn’t involve a couple beers. “You’ve never come up with anything clever, period.” So true, so true. The team found that test subjects with a BAC of .07 (just under legally drink in most states) struggled with attention-intensive trials but excelled at questions that required more flexible thinking. The study found that the drunks not only solved 40 percent more questions than their sober control group, they did so three and a half seconds faster as well–completing their tests in 12 seconds compared to 15.5 for the sobers. So yeah, drinking two beers makes you cleverer. Twelve beers? Drinking twelve beers makes you me. “What about twenty?” Drinking twenty beers makes me think you might have a problem. Study: Drinking Two Beers Makes You Clever [gizmodo] Thanks to Liz, who tried to convince me three vodka cocktails makes her the funniest person on the planet.
