When
people tell you that the wheel doesn’t need to be redesigned, lean back
in your biologically accurate rhinoceros throne and scold them for
thinking inside the box.

Cold butter is practically impossible to spread, but not with the help of the butter cheese grater that helps soften things up in no time.

Gotta invite ‘em all? Then what better way to do that than by sending out Pokémon card-themed invites?
That’s what Redditor jerrikag did for her son Logan aka Logatchu’s, who’s celebrating his sixth birthday with an awesome (and presumably) Pokémon-themed party.
Why stick with boring generic invites when you can create some super effective ones that’ll get people talking and extremely excited about your party?
Logan’s mom did an awesome job with the invites. No doubt she’ll do better at the party, where pizza and cake will be served. As icing on the cake, there’s even going to be a pinata! I wonder if it’ll be a Pokeball.
Happy birthday, Logan, and we hope you enjoy your party!

The Neon Lovechild of Modern Art
Posted in: Today's Chili
Paint splatters and graffiti might look like accidents or vandalism to some people, but the eye-catching, genre-bending artwork of Rowena Martinich is redefining ideas of art and beauty, while answering one very important question; what would it look like if Warhol, Pollock, and Picasso got together and went wild on a wall?

Beep boop boop bee squeee! Happy May 4th aka Star Wars Day (say the date out loud and you’ll figure out why). In celebration, quite a few hardware vendors have released special gear for the day, thereby allowing you to celebrate the magic of George Lucas in proper Mandalorian fashion.
First we have a charming facsimile of R2-A6, a green R2 unit that is a favorite of the Naboo security forces. Made by Mimobot, this sassy little droid you’re looking for comes with built-in content, including desktop backgrounds and icons. They also make a Jar Jar Binks USB key if you’re so inclined.
Next we have something from Lucasfilm lawsuit recipient Wicked Lasers whose Arctic laser looks like everything but a replica of a light saber. To celebrate May 4th, the company has released the $75 Phosforce that turns the Arctic laser into a white LED flashlight that can pump out an Ewok-blinding 500 lumens, allowing you to swing your thing around in the dark swamps of Dagoba or the back alleys of Coruscant.
To be clear, the Phosforce attachment must be purchased in addition to the $299 laser body and the adapter turns the Arctic’s decidedly dangerous blue laser light into eye-safe white light. It is not exactly an LED flashlight in the traditional sense but instead uses white-emitting phosphor. Also, to be clear, you can burn the heck out of your eyes if you mess with this thing wrong, so be careful.
Happy fourth and remember: Han shot first. May you live long and prosper.

The bean bag chair was all the rage back in the 60s and 70s. They came in one basic shape — round. They came in a limited range of colors. For many years nothing changed and the chairs fell out of popularity as more and more people realized how stupid they looked trying to get out of them. Now the bean bag chair met your childhood teddy bear and created something new for you to love.

With the warmer weather almost upon us, I can hardly help
but be reminded of summers past and the lost innocence of childhood, when long
into the evenings, the trees surrounding our happy home full with the raucous
laughter of cicadas, my parents and I would challenge each other to a thrilling
game of Doody Head.
