Black Milk Clothing’s combination of body hugging fit and geeky coating has been a winning formula so far. A lot of people love (being seen) wearing them. Even more people love looking at their product shots. The shop’s officially licensed Mass Effect line is no different.

The leggings, dresses and swimsuits are available in a variety of designs, including the N7 insignia, a drawing of Tali and pages taken from what I assume to be the official Mass Effect comics.

Stop calibrating and head to Black Milk’s online shop to order. They cost between about $76 to $89 (USD) each.

Whosoever holds this ice tray, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of ice. Fortunately this officially-licensed silicone mold has low standards about who it deems worthy.

You only need to pay $14 (USD) and it will do your bidding. As long as your bidding is for it to make hammer-shaped things.

Command thy browser and pre-ordereth thine iceth trayeth on Entertainment Midgard Earth.

Most energy drinks and supplements only set you up for the inevitable crash. If you’re looking for an instant burst of energy without the usual disadvantages, then you might want to check out Sprayable Energy.

It’s a spray that gives you a dose of caffeine that’s absorbed through your skin so you can get that much-needed boost. According to the spray’s creators, it’s the world’s first topical energy spray and it’s a whole lot better than most other energy products because it doesn’t require you to ingest drinks filled with ingredients other than caffeine.

Its makers claim that since the caffeine is sprayed on, it enters your system gradually so you won’t get the usual energy shock (and crash) that come with using energy products.

Sprayable Energy is currently up for funding on Indiegogo, where a minimum pledge of $15(USD) will get you a single container that should last about 2 to 3 weeks. Just don’t mix it up with your pepper spray.

How long has it been since you actually cracked an encyclopedia open? Most people head straight to their computers and Google whatever it is they need more information on these days. Few, if any, still turn to the volumes of Britannica or Funk and Wagnalls, because what’s printed there is likely to be outdated.

Many searches for info on Google direct you straight to Wikipedia, which I’m sure you’ve already used or at least are familiar with. Wikipedia boasts of being available in a bevy of languages and containing entries from most fields, including current events.

But what if all the entries on Wikipedia were sorted and printed into physical volumes? How many volumes would there be, and how much space would all of them take up? The answer, thanks to Wikipedia editor Tompw is 1,908. For clarity, that’s 1,908 Encyclopedia Britannica-sized volumes that will occupy almost 10 entire shelves!

There are currently 4,309,964 articles, which means 2,542,878,760 words, which means 15,257,272,560 characters.

One volume: 25cm high, 5cm thick. 500 leaves, 2 pagefaces per leaf, two columns per pageface, 80 rows/column, 50 characters per row. So one volume = 8,000,000 characters, or 1,333,333 words, or 2,259.9 articles.

Thus, the text of the English Wikipedia is currently equivalent to 1,907.2 volumes of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

Of course, this number keeps growing. Thank heavens for the Internet.

With all of the controversy going on regarding “real” weapons, what with their ability to cause bodily harm, it’s best to stay out of the eternally-burning fire of this argument. Instead of going to Walmart and purchasing an assault rifle, why not save yourself some money and some responsibility? Get the Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction series!

You may be too daft to build your own M-16, but there’s no need to be dismayed! With Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction volumes 1, 2, and 3, you will become an unstoppable force of forcefulness.

In the first volume of the series, you will embark upon a quest to create 35 different weapons, including catapults, slingshots, minibombs, darts, and combustion shooters. While I do not know what minibombs and combustion shooters are, the book assures us that these items are relatively safe. For someone who fell down while carrying a fork a couple days ago, driving it into my upper thigh, I am forced to reevaluate the idea of “relatively safe.” I was also banned from using the glue gun. (Plus glitter glue, since I put it all over my chest and pretended I was Edward Cullen.)

The second and third volumes of Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction will further increase your knowledge of tiny-person violence, introducing you to paper dart watches, toothpaste periscopes, chopstick bows, bottle cap crossbows, and many more! If you ever wanted to build your own bottle cap crossbow, then now is your chance! (That little gem is located in the third volume.)

Of course, each book includes practice targets and tips for hiding your own personal armory. You’ll have to ante up $13 for each volume, but the money is well worth all of the revenge that you can exact! (Without incurring any serious legal troubles.) You can find all three Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction books on Amazon.
