Crazy USB prank

Posted on November 22, 2009 by xerxy in Fun, Gadgets | 6,515 views

Tired of all the usual pranks you can play with someone’s PC? Here’s a simple USB stick that you can plugin and drive your friends crazy with.

This USB device can be discreetly plugged into the victim’s PC and will activate after a customizable delay.

It will then randomly switch the Caps lock, add fake key-presses and move the mouse around.

Bet by the time it’s discovered, the device would have driven the victim crazy and you’ll be on a permanent hitlist.

Just don’t use it on someone with a sensitive job description (like a webmaster or the bank teller). Or at least turn off the mouse and keyboard tweaks.

Can’t be responsible for bringing down a plane or an important website like xerxy.com.

Escalator advertising

Posted on November 21, 2009 by xerxy in Awesome, Wacky | 4,124 views

No, not ads that market escalators, but here are some very creative ways of advertising products on escalators. Like this really simple, but brillian one for Duracell.

They are really eye-catching and look so real that you’ll definitely watch your step the first time you get on or off of one.

The pizza with the stringy cheese being pulled up is really awesome. If they’re clever, they’ll place it near a pizza place.

The possibilities are endless. Imagine legs that have ever-changing shoes scrolling by. Or different combinations of ties and heads.

I wonder if I can create one that looks like waves crashing onto a sandy beach.

Chocolate grenade

Here’s one grenade that’ll you can actually look forward to exploding. It’s made entirely out of Belgian Milk chocolate and well worth the explosion it’ll cause.

A grenade this size should be enough for a few people so make sure to use it at your next party.

Even after the chocolate has turned into shrapnel and disappeared inside the bellies of your friends, you still have a magnificent box left over.

Wrist water bottle

A cool pair of water bottles that go on your wrists. That’s pretty neat and awesome.

Doesn’t have to be water in there. You could put anything from juices to energy drinks.

Or if you have the guts, put in some mercury (or any high-density liquid) and give those arms an extra workout.

Coincidence or deception

This is simply hilarious. I wonder how many people watching the news made the connection between the sketch of the rapist and the newscaster.

Would be hilarious if we saw the poor newscaster being wrestled to the ground by the authorities soon after the sketch was shown.

Despite the similarities, the guy in the composite sketch looks a little older and wrinkly. The newscaster shouldn’t be too worried, but he still better watch his back.

Chocolate pencils

No longer must you be afraid of your children chewing on pencils. These special pencils are made of chocolate and are deeeeeeelicious.

Write love letters that can be eaten (or licked, if paper doesn’t suit your tastebuds).

Worry no more about pencil shavings creating a mess. Actually, the shavings are the best part of this deal which you can sprinkle on your favorite drink or dessert.

They even come in varying degrees of darkness, just like lead/graphite pencils. Too bad they’ll create quite a mess in summer.

Matchstick art

Posted on November 18, 2009 by xerxy in Awesome | 5,638 views

This gorilla is made entirely of tens of thousands of matchsticks by the artist David Mach (who probably started playing with matches after the other kids kept making fun of his name).

How impressive is this gorilla head? I didn’t even know there were so many different colors available for the humble head on a matchstick.

If you’re looking to own one of these cool babies, be ready to shell out between £20,000 and £35,000 for each sculpture, which is probably a lot more than the real thing.

Just be extra careful where you place it and who you allow near it.

Over the fireplace or near other sources of heat are out, although there have been customers who purposefully set the pieces on fire. Smokers should also be kept well away.

Other works of art that are available include a polar bear (ooh, gotta get me some of those white matchsticks) and the head of a moose.
