Carboard Office

Dutch commercial creative agency Nothing's cardboard office is nothing short of amazing. The walls, signage, beams, tables, shelving and even a set of stairs are all made of cardboard. The walls double as a blank canvas with visitors encouraged to leave their mark on the surfaces.

Thigh High Monster Boots are made for walking

Babe teaches us how to make a pair of thigh high monster boots. It's quite easy! She writes: "I used a pair of beach crocs because that is what I wanted on the bottom. You don’t have to add a bottom sole if you don’t want. You could add vinyl so they will be non slip."

Ora Watch measures time

The Ora Watch is one of the most unique watches that I've seen. It has three tapes running in three different directions to keep the time. The uppermost tape measures time in minutes, overlapping two smaller tapes that display hours and the current day of the week, respectively.

Windows 7 Demo Fail! Touch goes AWOL.



Oh dear, this is really embarrassing. Host tries to show off Windows 7’s touch screen features. Watch the video above. Shit! I was just about to order a new Windows 7 PC from HP. Let's hope it won't fail like this one.

Pimp My Car Pac-Man Style

This over-the-top 1996 Chrevrolet Caprice is decked out with custom Pac-Man leather seats, rims and colour scheme. Mr Pac-Man is the name of the car and I bet the owner is a hardcore Pac-Man fan. He has to be, surely. I wonder if his missus drives a Mrs Pacman car.

Remote Controlled Tissue Box

Only the Japanese can think of something as stupid as the Remote Controlled Tissue Box! When you really need a tissue to blow your nose, I think it is faster to get up from your seat and walk to the tissue box instead of controlling it to come to you, especially if your driving skills isn't that good.

Survival Bracelets will come to your rescue

Survival Bracelet is an 8 feet of coiled, military-grade parachute cord that is cleverly braided into a wearable wristband. Just a simple pull on one end sends the cord unravelling, ready to be used in an array of non-combat situations like fixing your broken tent.

Animated Stereoviews of Old Japan

Enigmatic photographer T. Enami took a number of 3D stereoviews depicting life in Meiji-period Japan. The illusion of depth in his photos were recreated with animated GIFs that can be viewed here. Stunning!

Grace Park in Maxim shows us that she is hotter than hot

Battlestar Galactica babes Tricia Helfer and Grace Park are on the cover of the November issue of Maxim! Tricia plays Number Six in the reimagined TV series while Grace plays Number Eight. I've always like Grace Park. I think she's cute but on Maxim, she is smoking hot. Damn, she's yummy.

Superheroes photoshopped in wartime photos

I was the love slave of a geisha!

S-E-X! I Was the Love Slave of the Geisha! is an article from the December 1969 issue of Man's Combat. It's supposedly a first person account of a captured U.S. pilot in World War II who gets kidnapped and whiped by Geisha girls. A scan of the story here.

Just in time for Halloween! The Succu Dry’s unique Vampire mouth opening isn’t for the faint of heart. Its amazingly detailed vampire mouth and fangs will beg you to drive your wooden stake deep inside. Who wants to review this?

Woot! Angelina Jolie’s long lost modeling pics!

Never before seen modelling pics taken in 1991, show a tattoo-less Angelina Jolie doing a swim suit photo shoot at a tender age of 16! 16? She doesn't look 16 in those pics. Nice pics of course, but I was hoping for more provocative shots of Jolie.

LG wants us to know that their new Chocolate phone is magically created out of wood



In a quiet workshop in Far East Asia, a master and his apprentice are making a full touch mobile phone using traditional methods. They carve the phone out of wood and then use acupunture needles to the appropriate pressure points to release the energy which give the phone its life. Not sure who is LG trying to kid but the video is interesting to watch nonetheless.
