Severed Heads Cake: Till Death Do us Part

Man, this couple really takes the whole “till death do us part” thing seriously. This great wedding cake has both the bride and the groom decapitated. Well, two heads are better than one, even on a cake.

This is either very romantic or very disgusting depending on your perspective. Yes this was actually a wedding cake and the bride and groom held their wedding at one of Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse cinemas, which seems appropriate.

I really thought that this was how Dexter was going to end, with a grand wedding and two decapitations. See what you missed out on Showtime? This could have been your haunting final scene. Oh well, in my mind that’s how it ended.

Neurocam Automatically Records Only What You’re Interested in

The Neurocam is the latest invention from Neurowear – the minds behind the Necomimi cat ears and that tail that wags tail that wags based on your thoughts. Though this one seems like a slightly more useful, if not still strange device.

neurocam 620x343magnify

The Neurocam monitors brainwave activity to monitor your interest level in things you’re observing. When it senses that your interest threshold has been hit, it automatically captures images or video. In its current state, the system automatically creates 5-second GIFs of interesting subjects. Here’s a brief video demo of the Neurocam in action:

The device is a headband that holds the users smartphone in a bracket, and it appears that it also has some sort of 90-degree lens adapter for the smartphone so it captures images of whatever you’re looking at.

It’s definitely a novel idea, but all I can imagine is that for most guys, the Neurocam is only going to capture images of cleavage and butts.

Ouija Board Rug and Coffee Table: Spirited Living Room Decor

Are you looking for a rug and coffee table that can channel spirits from the great beyond? If so, check out this conceptual Ouija board rug and coffee table from the mind of Dave Delisle of Dave’s Geek Ideas. I bet if you put your feet on that planchet, it will just tell you to vacuum, or complain about rings from your drink glasses because you didn’t use a coaster.

It’s some pretty cool and spooky decor. Just be careful about what kinds of ghosts you talk to. You might make your home the next Amityville Horror house. They wish they had a rug and coffee table this cool in that house. Maybe that’s why it was so pissed. Those homeowners were just slobs.

Anyway, maybe one day you can buy this. Sadly, right now it is just a concept.

Zombie Head Kettle Bells: Undead for the Unfit

If you are looking to get in shape and have a constant reminder of why you are bothering (the impending zombie apocalypse) try these awesome zombie head kettle bells.

zombie kettle bells 1 620x490magnify

They come in 18, 36, 54 and 72-lb weights and each has a different zombie head. If you are going to workout and get those muscles ready for swinging an axe or hammer at the undead, you might as well look at their faces while you are getting buff.

Bonus: If you don’t get entirely ripped from your workout with these kettle bells, or have just been too lazy to use them as they sit on your floor, you can use them as weapons. I’m sure that with enough force these will crack through the side of a zombie head like Gallagher smashing through a watermelon.

They will cost you $42.95 to $169.95(USD) each, or $406.41 for the complete set.

NASA Celebrates Halloween by Unveiling Three Spooky Images from Space

NASA has offered up three amazing images captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The three images are somewhat eerie, yet incredibly beautiful to look at. All three of the images are 100% real and are actually planetary nebulas. They are created by material ejected from dying stars.

These three nebulas all have official names – starting with the Exposed Cranium Nebula. This one clearly looks like a brain and is situated about 5000 light years away from Earth in the Vela constellation.

The next image is called the Ghost of Jupiter nebula and is about 1400 light years away from Earth in the Hydra constellation.

The final image is called the Little Dumbbell Nebula because it vaguely resembles a squat dumbbell. It’s located about 2500 light years from Earth in the Perseus constellation.

NASA says that all stars about the same mass as our Sun will eventually die and wind up as similar structures. As the stars die, they become red giants and throw their outer layers into the cosmos. Ultraviolet light from the core the dying star then energizes the injected layers causing them to glow.

Sono Concept Turns Windows into Noise Cancelling Devices: Pane of Silence

Noise cancelling headphones are nothing new, but wouldn’t it be neat if there was a device that could provide an entire room with silence? You could soundproof your room, but that would be time-consuming and expensive. Rudolf Stefanich’s Sono concept device would be a godsend. You’d simply attach it to a window and it would block outside noise.

Aside from cutting down on background noise, Stefanich dreamt up Sono to also be able to let certain sounds pass through, perhaps depending on their noise level. He also imagines that the device will get its power from nearby Wi-Fi signals.

You can find out more about Rudolf’s unique concept on his website. I don’t know if it’s possible to make the Sono a real thing, but dammit if folks are already printing pizza and controlling drones with their minds maybe a reverse cone of silence isn’t too much to ask for.

Real Life Instagram: Life Imitating App

Last year we saw a concept for a pair of glasses that applies Instagram’s filters through its lenses. Bruno Ribeiro took a more literal approach with his Real Life Instagram series, taking not just Instagram’s filters but its entire interface into the real world.

But the thing that makes Real Life Instagram so effective is its acknowledgement of the app users’ tastes. Bruno frames random objects – oftentimes just portions of them – with his cardboard interface, pre-liked and pre-hashtagged.

Here’s the money shot:

Instagramception. Ah, the failure of freedom. When you give everyone the ability to express themselves, you’ll quickly realize that most of us don’t have anything worthwhile to say. But I’d still take that over silence any day.

Magic Restroom Cafe Serves up Crappy Food

There’s just something incredibly wrong about eating while you’re in the bathroom, especially when you’re taking a dump. Toilet-related activities and eating just don’t mix, but that’s exactly what the Magic Restroom Cafe wants to change your mind about, because that’s the theme the unusual restaurant is going with.

toilet restaurant 1 620x413magnify

Inspired by the Modern Toilet restaurant in Taipei, this one offers equally crappy food. Not crappy as in “not delicious,” but crappy as in “poop-themed.” Diners are seated on non-functioning toilet seats that they have to sit on opened if they want a backrest. For those who prefer more comfort when they’re dining, there are regular plush seats on the opposite end of the table.

Eater LA also reports that a lot of the food (which has gross names like ‘black poop’ (chocolate sundae), ‘smells-like-poop’ (braised pork over rice), ‘constipation’ (zha jiang mian),” and ‘bloody number two’ (vanilla-strawberry sundae) is served in little ceramic toilet bowls.

Honestly, the food doesn’t sound appetizing. While the presentation is fun, I have a feeling the thought of eating out of a miniature toilet is enough to make some people queasy.

What do you think?

$27,000 Pirate Ship Playhouse, I’m Broke, Matey!

Christmas ho, Captain! I see the big holiday coming off the starboard bow. No, wait, it’s an iceberg! We are are doomed. Well, Christmas is just around the corner and if you are a spoiled rich kid, here is what will be under the tree. Er, maybe you can put the tree inside of this ship.
pirate ship 620x620magnify

This $27,000(USD) Pirate Ship Playhouse from Hammacher Schlemmer is an awesome place for rich kids and their friends to hang out. This 23′ high weather-beaten pirate ship has a cedar and redwood exterior, along with classic pirate decorations. There is a cutlass-bearing skeleton lashed to the bowsprit, a boarded-over cannonball hole, crossed bones that form a window pane, and a crow’s nest with Calico Jack Rackam’s Jolly Roger flag.

The playhouse rests on a hollowed-out five-foot diameter tree trunk that has a ladder inside. You can also enter using the climbing net or the staircase. All interior areas are framed in Douglas fir. No expense (or tree) was spared. If that isn’t enough, the corkscrew tunnel slide extends from the balcony affixed to the stern and a fireman’s pole extends from the bow.

Stupid rich kids have all the fun. Then again, their parents have all the debt, so whatever.
