Seen here looking a little spacy herself, this is a news report by Adrianna Iwasinkski regarding the dangers of digital drugs leading teens down the slippery slope to analog drugs and, eventually, to turning tricks in the mall parking lot to get their next fix (been there done that, amirite?). If you’re unfamiliar with digital drugs, you can read the old Geekologie article about i-Doser , or jump right into the video. But just a heads up (in case my parents are reading): Geekologie does not condone drug use of any kind — be it digital, analog, digilog OR analital. Except booze, which isn’t so much a drug as it is a miracle elixir that keeps me sane ($5 HJ’s if you bring me an Orange Julius). Hit it for the parental fear that’s sweeping the nation.

Apparently air traffic control at Xiaoshan Airport in China spotted a UFO on radar and was forced to divert flights until E.T. phoned the f*** home. Arcing over Zhejiang’s provincial capital Hangzhou, the UFO appeared to glow with an eerie white light and left a bright trail in its wake. Stunned witnesses reported seeing a comet-like fireball in the sky and a number of local residents took photos of the strange ball of light. ‘The thing suddenly ran westwards fast, like it was escaping from something,’ he said. Running from something is right. It’s called US. “This planet is a shithole, lets GTFO and hit that titty bar.” “The Milky Way?” “You know it, brotha — high-tentacle!” Chinese airport closed after fiery UFO is spotted flying over city [dailymail] Thanks to Romeo, Jordan and Peter Pan > Jiff, who would have PEWed that sucker out of sky, full-nelsoned those alien scumbags, and beat the secrets of the universe out of their bug-eyed brains.

Readers, I though I’d take a second out of my busy schedule laying in bed to wish you all a happy and safe fourth of July. So get out there and grill something or whatever the hell people do to celebrate. And before you goobers begin the America trolling, remember: some countries don’t even have fireworks. Have a great fourth everybody and I’ll be back tomorrow. Possibly from the hospital! Be safe (you only get 10 fingers), The Geekologie Writer

This is a commercial for The League of S.T.E.A.M. (Supernatural and Troublesome Ectoplasmic Apparitional Management), a Victorian-looking ghost elimination company. I thought it was pretty cute. If you like what you see, they have a series of shorts on Youtube of them catching spirits or whatever the hell a bunch of steampunky ghostbusters do. And speaking of catching spirits — toss me an airplane bottle and LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! Happy 4th of July weekend everybody! Hit it for the video.

Seen here pretending to be more than two feet off the ground , 13-year old Hibiki Kono made himself a vacuum powered wall-climbing suit so he can escape the asylum and avenge his parents’ deaths. Ooooor climb a brick wall while people take pictures. Using a pair of 1,400-watt vacuums he purchased at UK retailer Tesco, Hibiki Kono hooked them up to a couple of large suction pads, and proceeded to ascend a vertical surface with the contraption strapped to his back and arms. Well damn, future Mr. Dyson — you’ve got inventor written all over you! Also, “I have sex with appliances”. Let me guess: you had too much Sunny-D and passed out with your shoes on again. Hit the jump for a video of Hibiki and his magic suit in action.

Remember the Terrafugia Transition ? The $194K street-legal car that can turn into a plane ? Well it just got Federal Aviation Administration approval for use in the US. Whee! People will be flying into shit before you know it. The Transition was designed as a “light sport” aircraft, the smallest kind of private aeroplane under FAA classification, with a maximum weight of 1,320lb. But the manufacturers found it impossible to fit the safety features - airbags, crumple zones and roll cage, for instance - that are required for road vehicles into that weight. Uniquely, however, the FAA has granted the Transition an exemption - allowing it to be classified as a light sport aircraft despite being 120lb over the limit. Light sport aircraft licences require just 20 hours’ flying time, making them much easier to obtain than full private licences. No airbags, crumple zone or roll cage and it only takes 20 flying hours to get your license — what would possibly go wrong? A : You buzz my house and I shoot you down with a rocket launcher. Hit the jump for several more shots of the Transformer, including one with a t-rex (seriously).

Note: Video is after the jump because I don’t want you kids getting any ideas (yes, yes I do too — you should try it with the tailgate down ). This is a video of somebody’s grandpa passed out in a La-Z-Boy in the back of a speeding truck. Actually, he might be dead. But if not, he will be soon! And you know what that means: more Jello for us. Hit the jump for the video.

This is a shot of a Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet returning from a trip through space and time . Sure you could argue those are just vapor trails, but you’d sound like an idiot and nobody will ever take you seriously again. Not that we do now anyways. Just sayin’, remember the time you tried to argue there’s an internet post office for sorting email? Okay so you were right about that one. Hit the jump for a second shot taken shortly after. Like, super-shortly after. I’m talking fractions of a second.

Sure it may look like a regular Porsche GT3 wearing a tinfoil helmet so aliens can’t read its mileage, but it’s actually a pedal-powered scale mockup . HOHO! Now I don’t know about you, but I’d pedal that sucker around town and holler at all the fly honeys . Things like, “HOLY SHIT LADY, GET OUT OF THE WAY I CAN’T STOP!!” She will be so turned on. It’s like taking candy from a baby plowing through the Farmer’s Market in a pedal-car. Hit the jump for a ton more pics, and the link to a whole bunch more.

Dogfight as in airplane battle, not dogfight as in I’m a peenerless d-bag who likes watching pitbulls bite each other. Which, fun fact: if I’m ever diagnosed with terminal cancer I’m coming for you. Me making you chew on a gun aside, this is an awesome jet-fighter scene created by Flickr user -Mainman- , who — need a wingman? For anyone who’s interested, the cockpit is somewhere around 1/2 scale (maybe a little smaller) and the F-15E and MiG-29 are 1/100 scale The flares are a couple of Exoforce fiber optic tubes with Lego light bricks on the far end. They worked out better than I expected - I love the lens flare I got with them. Incidentally, with the exception of the HUD display photoshopped in, there’s not a single non-Lego object in this photo Freaking awesome. Reminds me of when my brother and I would set barstools on their sides and sit in them while pretending we were fighter-jet pilots. No, no it doesn’t. Because that was actually a train. Now shovel some more coal in the wastebasket and let’s CHOO CHOO our way to a house fire! -Mainman-’s Flickr Gallery via Enemy in sight [brothers-brick] Thanks to The Bucktooth Ninja, who — Jesus man I could see you coming a mile away with those things. Get some tooth blackout or something.
