Bangin’ art for a post leap Monday.
This one’s making the nerd rounds - turns out Cosmopolitan has decided that Apple stores are the best place to look for a “fun fling” or “long-term relationship”! In brilliant link bait fashion it says “The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can [...]

Oh, Japan. How do I love thee? At least in this way… you simulate escaped zebra procedures in the zoo by dressing up two guys in a zebra suit and having them walk rampant around the zoo! All the way up to shooting a tranquilizer at the pair from the safety of the car. Oh, [...]

Here it is. If you are too lazy to build your own crazy interconnected fishtanks (I’m looking at you, Ben!) then you can wuss out and get this crazy fish tank. Apparently, all I want is for fish to travel down little hallways of water - and this tank does all of that for you [...]

Well with the collapse of widespread muni-wifi and the questionable future of WiMax maybe the best we can hope for is the signficantly less ambitious free but sponsored wifi of the days of yore. CBS, por ejemplo, says it’s going to bring wifi to the midtown area between 42nd and the park - you know [...]

Now they’re making some new fangled antenna that uses plasma instead of metal. So… it’s an antenna that uses heated gas and vanishes when you turn it off. Does this ring any bells? Yeah. This is so obvious it’s embarrassing, they’re making light sabers and using this “antenna” cover to keep it secret. Please, we [...]

Ok. Someone, anyone, please explain this to me. It’s not that I don’t appreciate this, it’s just that I don’t understand. Somehow, beyond combining boobs with food, this is also good for the environment by having non-disposable chopsticks, which I fully support, but why would you store your chopsticks in your armpit? Check the video [...]

Well, now that I have more than 1 robot dancing video in my brain, it’s a dance off! I admit this battle royale is more Beat It than Transformers, but we’re a peace loving lot here.
First up we have the good ol’ Spoon video for Don’t You Evah featuring the little yellow bundle of japanese [...]

I’ve been seeing this story going around this morning:

But a consumer safety group reported 40 incidents in which people, mostly children, had Crocs stuck on escalators from late August until early this month. One five-year-old girl broke her middle toe and three of her toenails were ripped off after her shoe was stuck on the [...]

These pictures of japanese sewer systems are amazing (via mefi). I can’t really tell if this is one sewer system or a bunch or when they were built (I don’t think this was built 2,200 years ago), but it’s definitely where you expect to spend your post-apocalyptic years hunting down (or, if less fortunate being [...]

Apparently there’s a new craze sweeping Tokyo - kegadoru or Injured Idols (via tokyomango). Girls wearing surgical coats or maid outfits are totally out at the Akihabara maid cafes, now you have to be sporting eye-patches and bandages! This one’s a little … odd, to me. One cosplayer describes the confusing appeal:
One guy into the [...]
