Hasta La Gadget!

Every year, you swear you’ll catch Santa in the act. The cookies are out. The traps are set. It’s just a matter of making sure he can’t escape. But every year, you fail anyways. Either Santa’s really that good… or you lack the gear to set up a proper capture.

So if you really want to get him this year, then get this Santa Stake-out Kit from OpticsPlanet. It has everything you need and more to keep an eye out for Santa and maybe catch him, even, if you’re fast and crafty enough.

It contains a whole bunch of stuff that includes apparel (of course, you need to dress the part in a stakeout!), camping gear, hunting gear (yikes!), food storage, accessories (like a tactical field ops watch, bottle opener, and walkie talkies), night vision and thermal imaging gear, and a Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital SLR Camera Kit. It even includes some deer scent to try and lure in Saint Nick’s tiny reindeer.

The entire package costs $6,500 and is available here.

Maybe you’d like to put this on your wishlist this year, so you can use it attempt to catch Santa next year.

There’s just something about Nicolas Cage that inspires people to create memes, apps, and even eyeshadows in his likeness. The latest one is called “Feeling Cagey?” and it inserts a little bit (or rather, a whole lot) of Nicolas Cage in each and every selfie it finds on Instagram.

The website basically parses through Instagram’s live feed and automatically tacks Nicolas Cage’s mug on people’s faces. It’s silly, it’s weird, and in a way, it’s strangely addicting.

Feeling Cagey? was created by web developer Josh McMilan, who clearly has way too much time on his hands.

Dogs may be man’s best friend, but when it comes to modeling, cats reign supreme. Earlier, we saw a bunch of macho felines posing like male models in this hilarious photo series. This time, we’ve got another series that shows off the feline versatility: sexy cats posing like pin up girls.

These images are iconic, and what’s particularly fun and entertaining is the fact that each of the poses is replicated quite well and accurately by their feline counterparts.

Rawrr!

These shots are showcased at the Cats That Look Like Pin up Girls website, which was put together to promote Hurly-Burly, a fashion and costume company in Australia.
