Hasta La Gadget!

Taking care of babies is hard. You have to feed them every few hours, check them if they’ve pooped or peed regularly, and change them if they did. I stayed with my sister once when she just had her baby and all I can say is, it was a pretty exhausting ordeal.

No wonder people came up with tools like the Crib Dribbler…

If you look closely, you’ll see that the Crib Dribbler resembles the water feeders for your dogs and cats, where milk or water trickles out when the tube is licked. In a similar manner, you can expect milk to flow out when your baby crawls over to the Dribbler and gives it a couple of licks.

It’s a funny concept, but obviously it’s not real and even if it were, I doubt any sane parents would go for it. It’s the latest of a series of prank gift boxes from PrankPack, and we think it’s hilarious. Each box sells for $8(USD). If you do decide to use it to give something to new parents, make sure to bring a camera so you can capture their expression when they check the box. It’s going to be priceless.

My sister’s baby crawls around so much that the floor looks infinitely cleaner and shinier by the time she’s all crawled out.

Someone else must’ve apparently noticed this with their own babies, because why else would they come up with something as silly and amusing as the Baby Mop romper?

It looks just like a regular onesie at first glance, but check out the front and you’ll see that it has some super-absorbent cleaning pads attached in strategic locations. Set your baby on the floor dressed in this romper and get ready to have your floors buffed and polished, baby-style.

I mean, why waste all that free baby labor, right?

All kidding aside, this would make a fun present for baby showers and will definitely elicit a whole lot of laughs from your family and friends.

You can get them here for $40 a pair.

You cannot call yourself a gamer if you have yet to experience the nail biting moments associated with your favorite game of choice, regardless of whether it is a Real Time Strategy or First Person Shooter title. Some of us do sweat our palms during those moments, some more than others. The Gamemaxx gaming controller might change things around thanks to the folks over at 30 Watt, where it comes complete with a built-in neck strap so that you can gain easy access to all the buttons, in addition to a misting/hydration system as well as a fan. Just how does it work? The Gamemaxx gaming controller will carry a gallon of gaming refreshments, helping cool you off thanks to its integrated fan and misting system.

Online hoaxes are a dime a dozen these days. A pretty cruel one recently made the news. It was in the form of a Facebook hoax that alarmed a mother and made her relatives think that her seven-year-old son had passed away.

However, the reality was that Javier Quintana was alive and kicking and standing right in front of her. Unfortunately, friends and family members didn’t know that and were devastated at the ‘news.’

Pictures, videos, and stories about Javier were posted online on a Facebook memorial page that was dedicated to Javier. His mother Patricia was beyond angry and has since filed a report with the local police.

Authorities looked into the matter and discovered that two teenagers were behind the whole thing. A 14-year-old girl was joking to a 13-year old boy about Javier’s death (which doesn’t sound like much of a joke), when the boy took things too far and created the memorial page. The girl asked him to take it down but by then, messages of grief were already pouring on the page.

No charges have been filed, and Javier, who was confused about the whole fiasco, was quick to assure friends and family: “I am alive and I’m fine… I don’t know why they put it, but I just feel bad for that.”

So guys, just avoid the whole mess and don’t make jokes about death because they really aren’t funny at all.

How many times can you drop an iMac before it shatters? I counted somewhere around 27 times (but I could be wrong.)

It pretty much shattered the first time the box hit the ground through.

Don’t believe me? Then check out the video below.

Okay, I’ll drop the act now. Obviously, this was a prank, and I think I made that much clear with this post’s title. So without further ado, here’s the video of an awesome prank that had people gasping as a dude dropped, kicked, and rolled an iMac down the escalator. Enjoy!
