Benedict Cumberbatch Gets Freaky With Pokemon

by Hazel Chua on March 25, 2013

Benedict Cumberbatch Pokemon

If you thought seeing Nicholas Cage’s face on various Pokemon was disturbing, then things are about to get worse. A lot worse. You won’t be seeing Cage’s beady eyes staring back at you from your favorite pocket monsters. Instead, you’ll find yourself staring into the face of Benedict Cumberbatch courtesy of the Pokebatchichooseyou Tumblr.

You might know him from the Sherlock Holmes TV series, you might also know him as the villain in the upcoming Star Trek movie, but for the time-being, you’ll know him as the guy who had his face superimposed to various Pokemon.

Hit the break to check out more Cumberbatchmons.

NMA Made a Trailer For Star Wars Episode VII And It Makes No Sense

by Amy Ratcliffe on November 2, 2012

Not surprisingly, Next Media Animation (NMA) takes the cake for the weirdest thing I’ve seen this week – and I look at a lot of bizarre things.

They made a trailer showing what could happen in Episode VII, and I don’t even know what to do with it because there are Star Wars characters, a Minnie Mouse stripper, a scary Yoda, Buzz and Woody, and then the Avengers show up. And so does McDonald’s. Uh… my head hurts.

You have to see it for yourself; watch after the break.

So Gangnam Wolverine Happened [Image]

by Amy Ratcliffe on October 17, 2012

What else is Twitter for if not to bring you images of Hugh Jackman wearing his Wolverine claws with Psy?

I like Hugh Jackman even more. And if Gangnam Style earns you visits to movie sets like Wolverine - well, I’ve got to work on my dance moves.

Ostrich Pillow Might Become a Reality Soon So You Can Bury Yourself to Sleep

by Hazel Chua on September 25, 2012

Head-In-A-Hole Ostrich Pillow

Sleeping at work is frowned upon, but who says you can’t take a couple of power naps during your breaks? Apparently, 20-minute power naps can actually increase a person’s productivity by more than 30%, so sleeping on the job isn’t really such a bad thing.

Trying to get some shut-eye at work might be a bit difficult while everyone else is hustling and bustling. That’s probably why designer Kawamura Ganjavian created the Ostrich Pillow in the first place. If you recall, this crazy privacy pillow was revealed last year as a concept, but it might soon become a reality if it reaches its funding goal on Kickstarter.

It looks silly to me, but hey, if 560 backers (and counting) want it, then maybe Ganjavian is on to something. Check out the demo video after the break.

Buy Your Potions and Spells on eBay While You Still Can, Folks!

by Hazel Chua on August 17, 2012

eBay Magic Potion

Apparently, eBay doesn’t want you to have your usual fill of magic spells and potions to battle the occasional warlock, because they’re instructing all sellers on the site to pull these enchanting wares off their shelves. The terms were outlined in the 2012 Fall Seller Update, which banned the sale of these magical goods, along with curses, hexing, conjuring, and healing sessions.

But here’s the good news: the changes will be enforced beginning August 30th, so you have about two weeks to stock up on your essential potions, spells, and incantations before they’re gone for good (at least on eBay.)

Finger iPhone Stand Gives You All the Extra Digits You Need

by Hazel Chua on August 2, 2012

Finger Stand

If there’s one thing people complain about smartphones, it’s that they lack the human touch. Sure, you can use them to make calls, check your email, and send messages, but many would argue that that’s not the same as having a real, live conversation. Some folks from Japan decided to take this concern at face value and came up with their weirdest phone accessory ever, the Severed Kid’s Hand iPhone Case, last year–and now they’ve followed it up with these Finger Stands for good measure.

Despite how they look, the Finger Stands are pretty useful. You can use a combination of thumbs and index fingers to prop your phone up, hold a pack of cigarettes, and even give some the finger (albeit discreetly.) Heck, you can ever use it to pick your nose, but that would be just gross.

Check out images of the severed digits in action after the break…

Because Everyone Needs a Human Centipede Pipe

by Amy Ratcliffe on July 18, 2012

Under the category of “who the hell thought this was a good idea,” please allow me to present this human centipede pipe. Um, yeah. I don’t want to smoke anything that goes through anyone’s butt, even if that butt is made of glass. On the up side, it would match this human centipede fleece hat.

10 Gadgets You Won’t Believe Actually Exist [Featured]

by Sean Fallon on August 19, 2011


Think about what it must have been like to live 100 years ago. Compared to our high-tech lifestyles today, it must have been like banging rocks together in a cave. In that time we have developed cellphones, computers, the Internet, space travel and more. On the flip side, we’ve also developed virtual kissing machines and portable watermelon coolers. Truly, we are living in a gilded age.
