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.
Warning: Driving this car will make hot women want to have sex with you, and maybe men too.

“Russian design student Slavche Tanevski must have been commissioned by Bruce Wayne. Named after a breed of black-haired bull, the Lamborghini Ankonian looks worthy of becoming the next Batmobile.
The Ankonian features a series of winged panels that appear to be carved from some type of metal obsidian alloy. OLED lights are built directly into the narrow and rather complex-looking body, giving the supercar concept an aggressive look.”

“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”

Peter Montenegro, the homely gentleman pictured above, was arrested Wednesday for the attempted murder and robbery of Amarjit Kaur, the kind neighborhood ice cream truck driver. That isn’t a mugshot you’re looking at, that’s his fucking high school photo. Look how mean he looks–and the kid’s only 15. Can you imagine how terrible he’ll be when he’s 25? First it’s ice cream trucks, then pretty soon it’ll be luxury cars parked outside the local liquor store, because this kid’s got nothing going for him. I’m thinking that good parenting is in short supply.

“At about 2:41 p.m. Feb. 3, Vallejo police responded to a report of a woman slumped behind the steering wheel of an ice cream truck in the area of Springs Road at Castlewood Drive.
The truck was near Springstowne Middle School, where Kaur apparently regularly sold ice cream.
According to a detective, Montenegro and another boy allegedly demanded money from Kaur.
The detective said Kaur, a recent immigrant who did not speak English well, had trouble understanding their demands and was shot when the boys thought she was not responding quickly enough.”
Who the fuck robs ice cream trucks? Ice cream trucks, puppies, public access television, and babies are the only decent things we have left these days. He could have easily just robbed a strip club, or run an underground gambling rig in his basement. The possibilities are endless. Tsk tsk.

It’s not really a venus fly trap so much as it is a mechanism designed to work like a venus fly trap. Nuclear waste is hard as shit to get rid of. There aren’t that many options when it comes to cleaning it up due to its radioactivity and its ability to cause things to mutate, like humans and animals. Ok, that isn’t true, but that shit will kill you…and give you super human abilities. No joke.
from Treehugger
“Researchers have developed a material that opens its pores to let in its intended prey–the radioactive ion cesium–then “snaps shut” to entrap it, according to Science Daily. It’s a Venus Flytrap that eats radioactive waste instead of flies.
The flytrap-like material is evidently a snythetic material made from “layers of a gallium, sulfur and antimony compound,” and was developed by researchers at Northwestern University.
The radioactive ion cesium, found in nuclear waste, is very difficult to clean up. And that’s because the ratio of harmless sodium ions to dangerous radioactive cesium ions is 1,000 to 1. There’s tons more sodium than cesium–one scientist on the project even said that looking for the radioactive material in nuclear waste is “like looking for a needle in a haystack.” But the material the scientists developed turned out to be extremely adept at removing the cesium from a sodium-heavy solution–thanks to its Venus flytrap-like qualities.”
I’m no nuclear scientist, but I’ve seen enough episodes of the Simpsons to know about the dangers of nuclear waste dispense.
