If you need any more proof that we’re giving Nobel Prizes to the wrong people, behold the brilliant creation that is Putter Pool. It takes billiards and golf—arguably two of the laziest ‘sports’ known to man—and merges them into an indoor game that barely requires you to get up off the couch. Genius! More »
Summer is nearly over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still hit the pool or swim in the ocean for the next few months. These Star Wars inflatable pool toys are inspiration enough for me to hop back in the waters, even with Fall approaching.
As you can see, the series includes awesome Millennium Falcon and X-Wing Fighter floating loungers, as well as the world’s best beachball – made to look like the Death Star.

And a company called Casket Furniture figures that since you’ll be spending thousands of dollars on your post-life home, you might as well enjoy it as much as possible. More »
