Hasta La Gadget!

If you’re going to shoot something and have a laugh about it afterwards, then you might want to reach out for these stack of weiner bullets. You can also call them dick bullets, pecker bullets, wanger bullets, rod bullets – but let’s tread lightly on the crude side and just go with ‘weiner.’

These weiner bullets are actually real and they’re probably the most perverted bullets you’ll ever see in your life.

At first glance, they might seem like bullets made a bit too long. But upon closer inspection, you’ll discover that it is, indeed, more than what it initially seemed to be.

These bullets were specially made by the specialists over at The Specialists, who were probably bored one afternoon and decided that they’d make bullets more fun by churning them out in the shape of men’s peckers.

Want some weiners of your own to shoot at people? Check out The Specialists’ website or call them at 212-941-7696 (look for Steve).

Natural disasters are scary. No one wants to be crushed, burned, sunk, or eaten by zombies. That means that wealthy people who worry about this sort of thing often spend huge sums of money on things to help them survive natural disasters and other untoward apocalypses. This is a case of a man from China only identified as Yang, who created a giant survival sphere.

Apparently, the man conducted numerous research experiments after purchasing an anti-disaster yellow spherical rescue capsule. The rescue capsule the man came up with can withstand heat up to 1700°C, 350 tons of collision impact, a magnitude 10 earthquake, and tidal waves. It’s not good enough to simply survive these disasters. Yang also wanted to survive the indignity of puking inside his fancy sphere.

Obviously being thrown upside down by an attacking zombie horde could upset the digestive tract so Yang designed his capsule to use gyroscopic principles. That means that there is an outer sphere that allows an inner sphere to remain upright. No matter what happens, be it Godzilla playing Hacky sack with the survival sphere or plummeting through a giant crevice that opens in the Earth during a quake, the people inside will always remain upright.

Naturally, Yang couldn’t simply trust engineers with his life in the event of a disaster. He had to test the sphere out as well. The test process involved climbing inside the survival sphere, as it rested on a slope about 50 m tall leading into water. He then did what any person with a modicum of self-preservation would do; he had assistants roll him down the hill in the sphere.

The sphere is made from four layers of steel plate, vibration dampers, 300 high-intensity shock-absorbing springs, 75 airbags, and a thin layer of rotating liquid. The inner most orb in the safety sphere can accommodate 4 to 20 adults. It is fitted with seats, seat belts, food, water, and medical supplies. There is no air supply and since the capsule is airtight, three people only have enough air to survive for 15 to 16 days. It does have ports that can open to let in more fresh air. The sphere cost around $242,000 and took two years to build.

Technology is great for lots of things, but it’s not doing book publishers any favors. At least, those who haven’t gone digital and just sell books in their traditional form.

Book sales have been dropping ever since iPads, Kindles, and Nooks hit. So what does publisher Eterna Cadencia do in response to get people to read books again – and read them fast? Print books that go invisible.

That sounds a bit misleading, so let me rephrase: it prints books with text that will go invisible after a short period of time.

The book is called ‘El Libro Que No Puede Esperar,’ which translates to ‘The Book That Can’t Wait.’ It’s a literary collection from Latin American authors with a twist, not only in content but also with the actual book itself, since the text is printed using invisible ink.

Once the book is taken out of its packaging, the reader will have two to four months to read it before the pages go totally blank. It’s a novel concept and it pushes its point in a very creative way. But it’s also pretty impractical since you won’t be able to read it again when you want to a few months or years down the line.

If you randomly asked people what their morning shower is missing most, there’s a good chance they’ll probably lament the fact that their showerheads don’t look like retro phone handsets. A complaint that’s now rendered moot thanks to this novelty showerhead. More »

An LED display, camera, microphone, speaker and accelerometer all packaged into a t-shirt and controlled via your smartphone? That’s the concept behind tshirtOS, a wearable platform for “self-expression” that currently only exists as a prototype. It can show off tweets, play music videos, capture belly-height photos and send them off to Instagram, and pretty much do anything except play percussion. CuteCircuit, which came up with the idea in cahoots (inexplicably) with Ballantine’s whisky, says it’s about to conduct product tests and will mass produce the smart-shirts if enough folks register interest. There’s no Kickstarter page, definite specs or pricing for any of this, but based on CuteCircuit’s history and the video after the break we’re inclined to believe TshirtOS is more than just viral marketing stunt for the sake of a dram — click onwards and judge for yourself.
