The most epic depiction of RoboCop I’ve ever seen. Hey, is that Red Forman? Why yes–yes it is.

We all knew this was coming, and it’s finally here–the iMaxi iPad Case. This is for the person that enjoys overdone jokes and is desperate to get a laugh or two from the observing public, but probably won’t.
from ETSY
“Introducing Hip Handmaids’ exclusive iMaxi—the only Apple iPad case made with protective wings!
With its durable vinyl outer layer and plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, the iMaxi helps keep your iPad clean and dry. Plus, the iMaxi’s Velcro-latched, advanced wing design wraps snugly around your device, so your iPad always stays where it should. Best of all, it shields it from all those unsightly and embarrassing data leaks that would make any motherboard worry!
Each handmade iMaxi can be easily customized to fit your active lifestyle. Choose from white, white/red, or all-red interior options. Or if you don’t see a color you like, just ask! We can even use red thread on the interior for that special…uh…“lived in” look.”
Visit the product page if you’re interested in buying one. In my honest opinion, it looks more like an adult diaper than a maxi pad. So not only are you offending women who are on their menstrual cycle, you’re also offending the elderly, who could easily mistake your iMaxi for their own personal toilet on the go. Enjoy that train wreck when it happens.

This seems too good to be true, but apparently this spray will help you forget undesired memories buried in your subconscious, so that your mind can replace it with a more favorable one. Hello, nude celebrity that I remember seeing in that movie 3 years ago.
from Supermarket
“Spray to Forget acts as a conceptual sideways-elevator, nudging the unconscious to release a difficult memory and replace it with a more appealing one, or to create a new memory through experience… It also happens to smell quite good.”
While based in concept, SPRAY TO FORGET utilizes well-researched ingredients in support of its function. An aesthetic olfactory experience is provided through a blend of essentials oils selected for their reputed aroma-therapeutic benefits in grounding and elevating the emotions. Herkimer diamonds and black tourmaline, crystals believed to metaphysically assist in the elimination of tension from the body, were steeped for several days in the purified, magnetized water used to create the spray.”
I’m fairly sure this product is a placebo and only contains water with artificial fragrances. If you feel like dropping $25 to help you forget shit, pick one up here.

If there’s one object that can make you more of a shut-in, it’s the sleeve blanket.
from theDW
“Sleeved Blanket of the Day: Andrea Ayala Closa’s “Happiness in Bed” takes the slanket phenomenon to its natural conclusion by attaching special index-fingerless “reading gloves” to a double duvet.
“Soon for sale,” says Andrea. “Can’t wait,” says I.”

“Jem Stansfield, host of BBC1’s “Bang Goes The Theory,” built two sucker pads (similar to a Gekkomat) out of two regular vacuums, then scaled a 30 ft wall at a school during the Brighton Science Festival Programme (pictures below) and then nearly succeeded in scaling a 100-foot-tall aluminum building (videos below). He may also be a superhero”
Putting tape on your fingers won’t make you stick to walls–neither will glue, or any other type of over the counter product. Fortunately, for those of you that dream of scaling walls or spying on the girl’s locker room, scientists have created a device that will allow humans to walk on walls. How you ask? A little hard work, imagination, and water. And really complicated science that I can’t even begin to understand.
from Stuff
“Scientists have come up with a device that could soon allow humans to walk on walls.
The palm-size contraption, made of layers of metal and silicon wafers, is no thicker than a credit card.
To make the device sticky, a film of water, held in the bottom layer, is pushed through tiny holes in the middle layers to the surface by an electric pump.
The droplets on the surface then acts as a bridge that sticks the device to another surface.”
You know what sucks? This is intended for heavy-duty sticky notes. Useful.
