The Sharker, despite its name, has no interest in pulling your top down and exposing your breasts in public. No, it’s cool just being a monocoque motorbike and feeling the occasional butt on its supple leather seat . While most cars switched to monocoque construction (a technique that supports structural load by using an object’s exterior, as opposed to using an internal frame) back in the ’60s or ’70s, motorcycles have stuck with a traditional supporting framework, sometimes with an added fairing for aerodynamics, pretty much since they were first invented. The Sharker breaks this tradition by using its sexy carbon bodywork to support the rider, engine, and wheels, resulting in both lower weight and improved stiffness. Performance is impressive, with 140 horses ready to propel the Sharker to over 60 MPH in four seconds. Top speed can vary between 125 and 174 MPH depending on gearing choices. Neat. So what do you think — is this what motorcycles of the future will look like? No. Is it still cool looking though? A little. Is this what a motorcycle inspired dildo would look like? Absolutely. Sharker motobike is a real land shark for the 21st century [dvice]

This is a short video of a guy doing a bunch of tricks with a tape measure . Admittedly, he’s pretty good and with a little more practice he could probably be as good as me one day. When hell is a solid sheet of ice ! And speaking of ice sheets: what an Eskimo has after trying raw seal! *bada-dum tsch* I’ll be here all week folks, try the seal. *bada-dum tsch!* God I’m good at this. *bada-dum tsch!* Kidding, kidding. Youtube Thanks to naas, who once unhooked a woman’s bra with a tape measure but it turned out to be a bro and then the guy hugged him like Meatloaf playing Bob in Fight Club.

You like what I did there in the title? Wrong way — get it? That’s a common road sign you see when you’re driving the wrong way because you’re a f***ing idiot ! Dodge minivan that entered a closed construction zone in Manhattan was accidentally hit and flipped over by the wrecking ball as onlookers watch in horror and ran for cover. Driver escaped with minor injuries. DAAAYAMN, I’ve always wanted to see that happen! Aaaaand now I have. Jesus, well what do I watch now? …. …. More cat videos!! Youtube Thanks to Yopoleo, who once hit a wrecking ball with his truck and sent it to the moon.

This is a video taken from the top of the Burj Dubai , the tallest building in the world, at 2,684 ft. Jesus, that’s half a mile . Can you believe humans are even capable of this? I can’t — I shit my swim trunks on the high dive once. But, to my credit, I did do one hell of a cannonball. This Video From the Tip Top of the Burj Dubai Makes Me Sick to My Stomach [gizmodo] Thanks to Rick, who has dived off higher platforms into a cup of water. I mean, he died, but he did do it.

This set of Constructive Eating Kids’ Utensils costs $20 but some of the proceeds go to funding health services for children . So that’s cool. Plus, heavy machinery , how can you go wrong? BEEP BEEP — back that thing up and dump some mashed potatoes IN MY MOUTH! Transform mealtime into an educational, interactive construction zone! Construction-vehicle shaped fork, spoon, and pusher-scoop set makes learning to self-feed a fun activity. * All materials FDA-approved, PVC/Phthalate/BPA-free * Vibrant colors are stimulating and captivating * An asset in the development of hand-eye coordination * Dishwasher-safe * Paint-free, lead-free Okay, so they were really fishing for product attributes. When lead-free becomes a sellable product attribute for UTENSILS, you know you’ve hit rock bottom. That said, how much you want to bet that a study comes out soon touting lead is actually beneficial to a child’s development? Trust me, these things are cyclical. Also, I make fake studies. Product Site Thanks to Miss Bowser, who feeds her father, King Koopa, with an airplane spoon made from a real airplane.

Remember the story about the house in Britain that would be constructed entirely out of LEGO blocks ? Well this is it, mid-construction. I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed that it has a wooden infrastructure. I thought the whole damn thing was gonna be LEGO , right down to the john . This two-story Lego palace, which resides in the middle of a vineyard, sports a working bathroom, and is covered inside and out with bricks pieced together by 272 Legos. Over three million bricks were used to build the Lego pad, so doing some quick math here — that’s over 816 million Lego pieces! I have no idea whether the math in that quote I used is correct or not, the important thing is that it’s Friday and I am putting pants for the first time this week and getting the hell out of here. Town, prepare to be painted red! With vomit. I like fruity drinks! This Old House: UK Toy Master Builds House From Legos [geekstir] (with a whole gallery of construction pictures) Thanks to jessica and Rogefgv, who once built a house of K-Nex but it was blown down by the big bad wolf and then he ate them. The end.

This is a video of a building demolition in Turkey (arguably my favorite country on rye) gone horribly wrong . Now I’m not saying I could have done better, but I totally could have. With fireworks. Youtube Thanks to Lord Tarl, who once imploded a building simply by looking at it funny (and secretly pushing the detonator).

In an attempt to create the world’s longest self-supporting LEGO bridge , a group of LEGOphiles in Australia have constructed this 46-foot long behemoth as part of the 2009 Australia Model Railway Expo. Now I’m not suggesting we start building real bridges out of LEGO, but I mean, we definitely should. And, to give you an idea of just how large this thing is, it’s 46-feet . That’s like ten of my penises laid out. Widthwise . Lad– no? Hit the jump for two more shots.

Wow, they’re not even trying to make them look cute anymore. The Japanese born ROBOTOPS is a construction robot whose name is spelled in all caps because IT MEANS BUSINESS. The killing business. The four-legged, two-armed robot is actually a kind of automated mobile crane with 29 functioning joints for picking off humans, and of course the occasional piece of construction material. Using a high quality three-chip CCD camera, the robot can be operated remotely for particularly dangerous jobs. And no, I didn’t alter that quote at all. Finally, people are starting to get the picture. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one that sees a problem here. Seriously, Japan — you know I love you (manga, sushi, worn panty vending machines), but this shit has got to stop. Because if not, well, Godzilla . Just sayin’, we share a special bond (read: intercourse). Japanese construction firm unleashes insectoid robot crane on humanity [dvice] Thanks to cougar78, Aaron and John, who know the only good robots are the little guys from Batteries Not Included . Am I right? No, that was a test and you all failed.
