In GTA V – which may well be one of the best-selling PS3/360 games of the decade – much of the game’s menu is accessed through the iFruit phone, an in-game parody of the Apple iPhone. Someone apparently thought it might be fun to own their own iFruit. You can too, if you’ve an iPhone 5 or 5S.
Aufschnitt, or "Cold Cuts" in German, created an innovative new line of pillows shaped like food. Not just any food, either, but meat. Tasty meat.Take a look…
You’ve got to take a shower once in a while if for no other reason than to keep zombies from finding you by scent. Of course, your girlfriend would probably appreciate you dialing back the musky stench a bit as well. So if you’ve got to do it anyway, why not have some serious good, clean fun while you are at it? With Zombie Shower Gel or Blood Bath Shower Gel you can pretend you are in your favorite horror flick while scrubbing off the top few layers of grime.
Artist and webcomic creator Ashley Lange embarked on the challenge of a lifetime and emerged victorious. She drew all of the hats in Team Fortress 2 in one image. She didn’t include the hatless headgear and the miscellaneous items that can be considered hats, but honestly not even Gabe Newell can complain about her madness. I mean dedication. Thanks to Ashley, when the iPhone 9 comes out TF2 fans will already have a wallpaper for it.
Ashley used Photoshop CS3 and a Cintiq pen display to create the drawing. She almost gave up on the project because Valve kept coming up with new hats as she was working on the drawing. Fortunately she outpaced the company. The video below is a time-lapse of her drawing; the hatness madness starts at around 3:30.
For her next feat, perhaps Ashley should draw Gordon Freeman. Fighting all of Suikoden’s 108 Stars of Destiny. Who each have all of the Pokémon. Which are each wearing all of the Team Fortress 2 hats.

The next time you go to the bathroom, you might end up charging your phone in the process. Researchers at the University of Bristol and the University of West England have discovered a means of powering up a cell phone using a stream of urine; a technology known as "microbial fuel cells."
Every year I try to find a variety of pet costumes for Halloween that
show off different aspects of a pet’s personality. I have to admit that
this year’s pickings are not as rich as they were in the past; maybe
it’s the economy, but most of the costumes out in 2013 are holdovers
from past years. Though darling, they didn’t qualify for the 2013
competition. Nevertheless, we do have some great category winners, such
as Most Embarrassing, Most Suggestive, Best Little Devil, and Most
Valiant pet costumes. Seek and maybe you shall find something for your
sweet pet!
Disney has always dressed up their princesses in the fanciest, girliest of threads – with a few exceptions of course, including the time when Ariel still had her tail and when Merida was being, well, Merida. But think of Belle and Aurora and all the others who are always dressed in their Sunday best. It doesn’t seem very comfortable, does it?
Perhaps with this in mind, artist Haruki Godo created an art series where the Disney princesses put their dresses aside in exchange for their princes’ clothing. It’s amusing, if not wonderful, because it adds a whole new dimension to the princesses, even if they weren’t rendered by Disney.
Jasmine, in particular, looks particularly fetching in Aladdin’s garb.
You can check out the rest of the princesses, including Rapunzel, Vanellope, Tiana, and Megara, in the gallery above and over on Haruki’s DeviantArt page.

Other than being beautiful (not that Samuel L. is beautiful) and rich and powerful, being a celebrity must be really crappy. Can you imagine all the strangers rushing up to you? Can you imagine all the weird demands that ‘fans’ have? Can you imagine all the delusional people blaming you for doing your job? Samuel L. Jackson can.

We’ve seen many examples of LEGO used to build something practical. This one’s the exact opposite. LEGO enthusiast Jason Allemann built his own take on the infamous useless machine using the newly released Mindstorms EV3 kit.
Like the original useless machine, Jason’s contraption exists only to turn itself on. However, Jason programmed it to do other things before it turns itself off. For instance, it can delay the act of turning itself off, so you think that you’ve outsmarted the machine. It can also move away from you. In a hilarious bit of ingenuity, Jason also made the machine so that it can troll itself.
Head to Jason’s website to download the instructions and other files needed to build your own Useless Machine. You can buy the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit from Amazon for $350 (USD). Don’t worry, you can do other more useful things with it.

A lot of people I know hate having to go to the bathroom in public places or in homes that aren’t theirs. It’s an understandable preference, considering the fact that nobody likes to stink up someone else’s home.
But it’s a fact of life: whether you like it or not, poop is going to stink.
You can, however, contain the smell with Poo-pourri, and it doesn’t involve spraying perfumes and fresheners all over the place. The former option seems better, as the latter often results in a strange hybrid perfume-poop smell that probably will smell even worse.
Poo-pourri contains a blend of natural essential oils that its makers claim can “trap” the smell in the bowl.
Apparently, the oils in the spray create a film on the surface of the toilet water, making sure the smell stays in the bowl. Pou-pourri is offering a Best Smellers starter pack for $25(USD), which contains a 200-use Poo-Pourri Original spray and a handier 100-use Deja Poo spray.
