Coffin Cars: Highway To Hell

July 29th, 2008 by AndrewD in Vehicle Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

When AC/DC wrote their metal classic “Highway To Hell”, who could have ever predicted that the song would be taken so literally? Of course, what else are we supposed to do with all of those spare coffins we have lying around the house? I, for one, don’t plan on using them for anything productive anytime soon.

Get dressed in your finest suit and prepare for the ride of your life. This photo tutorial shows you how a simple coffin became much more than just a death trap. These Coffin Cars have all of the leg room you could ever need, not to mention it provides a nice place to sleep if you become stranded… forever. Muahahahah!

Eyeball Lamps clone your eyes

July 29th, 2008 by Ally in Home Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

This new lamp can be filed under all that is bizarre and the slightest bit creepy.  They are hand blown glass and made to look exactly like your eyes.  So if you’re a bit full of yourself when it comes to your eye color, now you can show it off through a bit of quirky lighting.  Although I imagine your guests would feel the slightest bit unnerved by sitting next to a set of lamps that keep staring back at them.

Twitter Fortune Cookies: Sorry Confucius

July 28th, 2008 by AndrewD in Wacky Gadgets

Even if you’re not a Twitter user, these awesome Twitter fortune cookies are a stroke of genius. Twitter user Neven Mrgan has decided to integrate some of the best “tweets” ever written into the crunchy interior of fortune cookies. Now we know how the Fail Whale maintains such a healthy girth! Tons and tons of cookies.

Mrgan will supposedly sell these cookies starting in September. How awesome would it be if your local chinese resturant stocked up on some of these bad boys? I think I’d order Chinese food a hell of a lot more. How would you like to break open a fortune cookie and fine the wise words of Merlin Mann or Robert Scoble? Sorry Confucius, we might be won over.

Bloody Shower Curtain makes you a mama’s boy

July 28th, 2008 by AndrewD in Home Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

The most notorious mama’s boy of all time has got to be Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. He takes the term and brings it to a whole new level of derangement. The only problem is that the original Psycho wasn’t much of a slasher flick. It was built more around suspense than anything else.

But for those who are fans of blood and guts, you might have been slightly disappointed by what they get from the Hitchcock thriller. There have been Psycho themed shower curtains in the past, and really, how could there not be with that famous bathroom scene? But none of them show much bloodshed. This Sound/Motion sensing Bloody Shower Curtain fits the bill for those of you who are more in to slashers than suspense.

Decoy Mask avoids any unwanted face-to-face

July 26th, 2008 by AndrewD in Wacky Gadgets

Don’t you just hate when your in the middle of mowing your lawn, minding your own business, and your annoying neighbor comes over to gab about absolutely nothing for half an hour? It’s just a total waste of time. Sure, they might mean well, but talking about the weather for 20 minutes is not productive unless you’re a meteorologist, which you’re most likely not.

If your not looking at your neighbor face-to-face as they talk, they might think you’re being rude. But sometimes you just want to turn around and hope they go away. The Decoy Mask creates a custom replication of your face to wear on the back of your head. This way, your annoying neighbor doesn’t feel like they’re being ignored, even if they are.

iPhone Forever: Geek Coffins Lively Up Your Death

July 23rd, 2008 by AndrewD in Wacky Gadgets

No sane human seriously relishes the though of their own death. As much as we try to avoid the aging process and keep ourselves safe from life risking activities, the end is inevitable, at least until science finds the Fountain of Youth. But thinking about our own deaths is not nearly as hard to conceive when we think about the sort of festive life we can have after our last days.

Creative Coffins is a company which designs and produces custom coffins. And even on a more serious note, they make sure that us fanboys are well taken care of. How would you like your eternal slumber to take place in an iPhone coffin? Apple not your poison? What about a Vista wallpaper-themed or Halo coffin? Creative Coffins has got you covered.

Jinsei lets you Walk out the Game of Life, Literally

July 22nd, 2008 by Mark R in Sport, Toys, Wacky Gadgets


You may look at this picture and wonder if the Virtual Pet is making a comeback, but it is actually something new altogether with the Jinsei Game Punchi.

Takara Tomy is releasing this electronic game to celebrate Jinsei, which we know as the game of Life. I’m sure all have you have at least heard of the game of Life, where you have to make money, get a house, have kids, all with that really odd spinner. In other words, it’s your life, but in game form to make it fun.

The Jinsei Game Puchi takes this game of Life to the next level as you must take 300 steps before the spinner will spin. There is a pedometer to measure the amount of steps of taken, but I suppose cheaters could just shake it.
