The Sound Advice Project was designed to help parents keep their kids off drugs by giving them a reminder of how much they’re loved and how bad drugs are. In this case, it’s a bracelet that says, in waveform, something like “you’re way too cool for drugs”, or, “drugs will make your penis shrink”. Thankfully, for $18 you can go to the website and record whatever message you want. I decided to made one for myself with one of my favorite inspirational messages from the bible, “When in doubt, PEW PEW PEW”. *WHA-PISSSH!* Whoa, what was that? You getting bible-belted, son!

That’s right folks, an underwater volcano off the coast of Tonga (near Fiji) has been erupting recently, causing all kinds of mean-nasty things to happen. Just kidding. There has been some smoke and ash though. Scientists sailed Thursday to inspect an undersea volcano that has been erupting for days near Tonga — shooting smoke, steam and ash thousands of feet into the sky above the South Pacific ocean. Authorities said Thursday the eruption does not pose any danger to islanders at this stage, and there have been no reports of fish or other animals being affected . Really, no reports of fish or animals being affected? I find that a little hard to believe. Come on now folks, I’m not five anymore, I can take some deceased fishes. Seriously, you don’t have secretly replace my dead hamster with one that looks like him. Wait, you did what? NOOOOOOO — NOT MR. CHEEKEYS! WAAAAAAAAA, I JUST WANT TO DIE! Hit the jump for a worthwhile VIDEO of the action.

We’ve already heard the Imperial March played on an old floppy disk and a Tesla coil , so why not a hard drive? Dum Dum Dum, Dum-te-Dum, Dum-te-Dum. It’s like you’re really there! You know, in outerspace. Look, there’s Darth Vader ! Ackkk — he’s force-choking me, quick, somebody take off his helmet! ZOMG — WTF is that?! Back on, back on! Youtube Thanks to the-iguana, who doesn’t change colors. That’s a chameleon, silly!

Segways are stupid and have wheels . Cajun Crawlers are awesome and have little feet that can scurry you across the room like a bug quicker than you can say, “Gob would love this!” Based on the work of kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen , the Cajun Crawler holds up a Segway-style platform with a scary collection of steampunk-like mechanical legs, which can scurry across a floor with surprising agility. The project was built by a team of folks at the University of Louisiana. Skip to about 1:00 for the action to begin. And action it is! My God that thing is creepy as all hell. One part of me wants to yell “ROBOT!” and smash it to pieces but another wants to ride it into the gently rolling surf until I’m submerged, where I’ll be greeted by topless mermaids whom I will pose with and then post the pictures on my Facebook. Later that night, I’ll come back with a snorkel and seduce one into living in my bathtub. Just like Tom Hanks in Splash , but with a harpoon. Cajun Crawler swaps Segway wheels for Theo Jansen’s creepy leg mechanism [engadget] Thanks to Leon, The Short One and Phecda, who are cool with just walking.
