Suspended hammock bed

Posted on by in Awesome | 11,118 views

This has to be the coolest bed I’ve ever seen. In simple words, it’s a mesh hammock that’s suspended over the lower portion of the house to create a beautiful bed. Gives it that Lara Croft touch.

Just don’t let your bed-wetting kids sleep up there. Especially when you’re expecting guests. You can also say good bye to all sorts of other private moments, unless you plan to live completely alone in this house.

Better hope the hammock is made from a strong material. Would be quite a tragedy if rats chewed through a few strands, just before you jumped on for a quick nap.

Bond is dead

Posted on by in Entertainment | 2,323 views

For many fans of James Bond, the most famous secret agent in the world died when Pierce Brosnan was replaced by Daniel Craig, a blond, muscular and completely different character than the suave, smooth-talking agent from the novels.

For others, 007 is finally dead, not because of Craig, but due to MGM’s financial troubles. A number of projects have been canceled, among them the 23rd, yet untitled, Bond movie. Sadly, the movie hit list also included The Hobbit.

It’ll be a while before anyone revives the franchise, which has spanned across half a century. Hopefully, whenever it is revived, Craig won’t be an option.

How movie vampires rank

Posted on by in Entertainment | 1,755 views

Here is an extremely useful scale to see how dark, macho, pink and/or homo a movie vampire is. As you may have guessed, the Twilight lot is on the top right extreme. i.e. Not macho or dark at all. Quite shameful for a vampire if you ask me.

Not surprisingly, Blade is one of the most macho vampires to date, though he is unable to match Nosferatu when it comes to unadulterated darkness. I wonder where Count Duckula would be. Probably somewhere near Twilight.

Tabasco Jalapeno ice cream

Quickly, what’s the weirdest ice cream flavor you’ve ever tasted? I can’t remember mine, but it definitely wasn’t anywhere close to this, the Jalapeño flavored ice cream.

From the description, it doesn’t seem as bad as it sounds. Tastes like any other sweet ice cream, but with a slight tangy jalapeno taste that follows. Comes in the shape of a mix that you can prepare.

I wonder if you can make this without the mix, just by putting a little bit of Tabasco sauce in normal vanilla ice cream. Anybody care to try?

Lamborghini Yatch

The Lamborghini Yatch is a concept yatch, built with the coolest design features of a Lamborghini Revention and with the same luxury finishing that a sports car has.

Must cost a fortune, but zooming around on water is probably a lot cooler and more fun than doing it on asphalt. Especially when your vehicle comes with a bathroom, shower, bar, entertainment center and so much more. via

Paul the Octopus messes with nature

Paul the Octopus has ignited what could end up destroying the delicate balance of nature and disrupt the space-time continuum. The Kraken has been unleashed.

The octopus’s decision to choose Spain over Germany as the winner at the last semi-final match of the FIFA World Cup will have grave consequences. The diagram below explains the disruption.

Now, it’s only a matter of time when Netherlands and Spain clash for the World Cup and if even a single person mentions the war, we’re completely doomed. Get ready for a full-fledged cuttle-fish invasion.

Rubiks cube for the blind

Posted on by in Gadgets | 1,701 views

Whether you love them or hate them, Rubiks cubes can help you kill a lot of time. One drawback to traditional cubes is that the visually impaired are left out of the fun/misery.

Here’s a bright and innovative idea. Instead of different colors, use braille to mark all the squares so that even the blind can have a go at solving the puzzle. Best would have been if they used both colors and braille.

I wonder what else we can use braille on. Jigsaw puzzles would be good start, but the shape of each piece would need to be unique or we’d need to use braille to mark a sequence on the pieces. Maybe a deck of braille playing cards? via.
