The iGiveUp | Handgun Bluetooth Headset is Stupid


So, the idea of this bluetooth headset is to let you answer your phone calls by pulling a trigger when aiming a gun at your head. I don't know about you, but I'm probably not gonna carry a toy gun around and there's even less chance of me aiming it at my head when I'm on the bus with people staring at me just hoping I go through with it. Then of course, there are the legalities involved with carrying a toy gun in public, which I don't really know about but I don't want to get arrested for suspicious activity or something.

Regardless of all these flaws, people still want to get this thing. I don't get it. Who the hell wants to use this in public? It's funny for about 1.2 seconds then you realize what a stupid idea it is to be pointing a gun at your ear to answer a call.

The Most Awesomest Invention Ever | The Bubble Wrap Calendar


GET A FREAKING BUBBLE CALENDAR
In my opinion, whoever thought up of this idea is a genius. Everytime I look at one of those poor, innocent, and over-inflated bubbles I just want to pop it and put it out of its misery. Now, I know doing this daily will be a problem for the many people out there that have that same sense of bubble-popping justice as I do...but that's what the package deals are for!...so if you let loose on one calendar you can still have 9 more! Supposedly, if you contact them they will give you a good package deal to satisfy all your OCD needs.

Oh, btw, these calendars are ridiculously expensive.

For those of you who don't mind virtually relieving these bubbles, go HERE and let loose

How to Freak the Shit Out of...Everybody | "The Ultimate Yard Protection"


Sick of putting up cameras to track who treads your territory in the middle of the night? Irritated by those pesky kids who stamp all over your flowers whenever they kick their soccer ball over your fence? Well then the Garden Zombie is perfect for you...because it will literally scare the shit of anybody that walks on your land.

Side effects of this, The Ultimate Yard Protection:
- You may receive calls from the cops who are suspicious as to why you have a corpse emerging from your garden
- Zombie enthusiasts may believe that your garden is "just the beginning" and will come knocking at your door pleading you to re-bury that dead body
- Your children may run away from home
- Your friends may not want to be your friends anymore

Super Mario Brothers | The "CHUCK NORRIS" Way


Chuck Norris jokes are always stupid and lame but yet at the same time, for some reason, are always hilarious. And now, there is a Chuck Norris game out there that is so ridiculous, so stupid and lame, but also, for some reason, you just have to play it. Check out the video of the game below.

SUPER CHUCK NORRIS BROS.

To download this uber game, go HERE

UPDATE:
I just downloaded and played this game (don't judge me) and I realized that Chuck Norris can't die in this game. Like, he's invincible...those evil mushrooms can't hurt him and there's no health bar. How fitting.

In Time...Future Me and Future You Can Have Superpowers...

I love science and technology for two reasons:
1) The internet
2) Superhuman abilities

Let's begin with A Story of The Future:

So, Future Me spots Future You walking down Granville Street with a six pack of beer and an
armoured body suit on that curiously resembles the classic Iron Man's Armour. I think it's the new HAL but I'm not sure so I walk quickly towards you to ask... but before I can ask you anything, you point at my shoulder and ask me why in the world would I ever need to be invisible. I look at the retro-reflectum suit thrown over my shoulder and tell you I got it on Ebay for dirt cheap. Then, I (rather callously) joke about how I'm going use my new suit for voyeuristic pleasures involving your daughter. You get angry, and impulsively react by using your newly upgraded BrainGate Neural Interface System (also from Ebay) to perform telekinesis and smash three bottles of your beer on my head in a matter of two to three seconds. Luckily, as you know, I acquired an extracellular matrix implant, and all the wounds you just opened are healed within five seconds. You're still pissed at my remark so I run for it knowing you're insane when you're angry. You start charging at me with your armoured body suit ...*CLUNK* *CLUNK* *CLUNK*, and any minute now I know you'll be firing your suit's recently upgraded (as shown all over TV) mini-missiles. As of now, I'm pretty sure I'm screwed...unless...unless...I use the implanted nanoglue and climb up that wall like spiderman would...way back in the day. I leap for the big building in front of me and start climbing. Shit. Your super-suit has rocket boosters... but, I still have just one more trick. Right when you're about to bust a missile in my ass, I throw on my retro-reflectum cloak. And just like that...*poof* I'm gone.

Now folks, this isn't far-reaching at all. Sounds a bit like Keyser Soze at the end...but anyway... Read THIS and you'll see that science really is giving normal humans the ability to be SUPERHUMAN...

Iron Man-like body armour
Telekinesis
Regeneration
Invisibility
Spiderman-esque wall-climbing ability
...all of this technology is being worked on right this minute, and it could very well be the status quo in the near future.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER AT THE OFFICE...

Don't you just hate it when you get up late for work, throw your pre-made lunch into your bag and drive very dangerously to work just arriving at 9am, only to realize at 12pm that you forgot your damn fork!? Yeah, me neither, I'm awesome, so I never forget my fork.
Either way, this innovative (and eco-friendly) pen/knife/fork/spoon isn't disposable like the cheap plastic stuff you would usually bring, and it uses the caps of regular pens as the head of the utensil. Check out the article regarding this office life-saver.

Also, check out this Self-Stirring Coffee Mug, which, according to the article, is already sold out.

The world is just getting lazier and lazier.
