Search This!: A Google Informational Graphic

Want to learn more about Google ? Then peep the rest of this informational graphic , son, it’s all about that search bitch! Say, who knew Google did more than run a query page and drive around taking pictures ? I mean besides me because I basically built their business model out of little plastic pieces and airplane glue. But mostly airplane glue. What? It helps me think! Hit the jump to see the whole thing, with many more facts and figurines!

Awesome: The Perpetual Domino Machine

The Ouroborus Domino Machine was created by Karl Lautman and knocks over and picks up dominoes all by itself — with magic! It’s really therapeutic to see. Like watching two children beat each other in the head with plastic bats. But with less cheering and betting. Ouroborus Domino sculpture rebuilds itself [slipperybrick] Thanks to Melissa, who had one of those little Domino Rally cars that set up the blocks for you. That’s called cheating, Melissa. Not as bad as this, but close.

Coooool!: Stick-bomb Chain Reaction Video

Honestly, I didn’t know what a stick- bomb was until I watched this video. Then I was disappointed, but only because I was hoping for explosives . Everything’s better with explosives . And I’m not just talking about birthdays! Kinetic artist Tim Fort used 2250 tongue depressors to build 562 of the little tension-loaded bombs, placing them in close proximity with each other and detonating a huge sequential maelstrom with a simple touch. That was enough to break the world record for a chain reaction of these xyloexplosive devices. Yes, it really is amazing to watch. And I love how guy yells “WOOHOO!” at the end. Because that’s the exact sort of thing I do after achieving a great feat. WOOHOO! Who’s a big kid now?! Youtube via 562 stick bombs explode in world record chain reaction [dvice]

Aha!: New Space Station Viewing Module Actually A TIE Fighter Cockpit

Aha!: New Space Station Viewing Module Actually A TIE Fighter Cockpit

This just in: the new viewing module added to the International Space Station is actually a refurbished TIE fighter cockpit. You heard it here first. Also, I’m the world’s greatest lover and have a body that could make Adonis cry tears of pure abs. What — you already heard that? Was it written in a bathroom stall? Yeah I did that. Picture [nasa] Thanks to Sister Angus McBastard, one hell of a holy sandwich. And Ryan, who took the time to make the mashup pic. Good lookin’, Ryan. Really, you are.

222 T-Shirts, One Cool Stop-Motion Video

T-Shirt Wars is a stop-motion video made by lovers duo Rhett&Link. It took 222 shirts to create plus two sperm and quite possibly one in vitro fertilization because Rhett there kind of strikes me as a test-tube baby. Not that there’s anything wrong with that (I was born in a graduated cylinder). Youtube Thanks to Yopoleo, chris, Jessica and Luke Hoverounder, who know the only good t-shirt war is a wet one. Can’t argue there (can I be a judge?).

Air Force Destroys Missile Midflight With PEW

Air Force Destroys Missile Midflight With PEW

The Air Force has been tooting their own horn after recently shooting down a ballistic missile with a plane-mounted laser-pewer . That’s cool, but I’ve been able to do the same thing for years with my eyeballs . OH — OH — DON’T MAKE ME TAKE OFF THESE OAKLEYS! The plane uses lasers to lock onto the missile and follow its trajectory and then brings it down with a single shot from its nose - all in a matter of seconds. It is the first successful test of a futuristic, directed energy weapon and realises what had previously just been a science fiction fantasy. Iran and North Korea could now be forced to alter their missile programmes to make them faster and to look at how to counter the laser beams. Neat, but what I want to know is this: where was that missile headed and what would’ve happened if the pew didn’t bring it down? Because I’d like to imagine IT WAS AIMED RIGHT AT YO FACE. Oooooh, burn . Wait, reader — come back! U.S. ‘Star Wars’ laser plane successfully shoots down ballistic missile for first time [dailymail] Thanks to KMH, ChayGavvara, Alexis, Pepe le pew pew, Quintin, Dr. Haq and Captain_O!, who can blow up lasers with missiles. Marinate on that one.

The $800 Lamp You’re Supposed To Destroy

The $800 Lamp You’re Supposed To Destroy

Looking for a ridiculously expensive lamp you’re supposed to bang a bunch of holes in with a pick-hammer? Well you’re in luck, because I just paper-mâché’d every lamp in my parent’s house AND I AM OPEN FOR BUSINESS! That’s exactly the value proposition you’ll get if you pick up artist Jordi Canudas’ Less Lamp. You see, this pendant lighting fixture looks like a solid black hanging egg when you first receive it, letting exactly none of the light out into your room. But thanks to the included pick, you can chip your way through the delicate exterior eggshell and let the light shine out to your own liking. Wow, reminds me of this chair . I think the two of them could really tie a room together. And speaking of which, mind if I do a J? Pfft — I don’t need your permission! But I do need your lighter. Give it to me. Hit the jump for a pic of what happens when you bang it a little too much.

Ninja Turtles In The Styles Of Famous Artists

Ninja Turtles In The Styles Of Famous Artists

This is a picture depicting the Ninja Turtles as imagined by various famous artists . It’s pretty cute . That’s right, cute . I can call things cute because I’m secure enough in my masculinity to do that. Also, tape my penis between my buttcheeks and wear women’s underwear. It’s Pizza Time, Picasso! [poppedculture] Thanks to Thomas and canine-o’clock, who argue that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are , in fact, heroes in whole shells.

Body Shots!: Body Scan Comparison Of 250 Pound Woman Versus 120 Pound Woman

Body Shots!: Body Scan Comparison Of 250 Pound Woman Versus 120 Pound Woman

Looks like the larger of the two just had a fairly significant meal as well. Just sayin’, give it a couple hours and she’ll only be a 246 pounder. Also, I highly don’t recommend it but if you look hard enough I think you can make out their vaginas. So, yeah — have fun with that. Body Scans of two Women: 250lb vs 120lb [boredpanda] Thanks to Jiakasuma, who makes body scans look gooood .

Zelda Medleys On Guitar And Stylophone

This is a little compilation of Zelda medleys from The Ocarina of Time being played by Joe Marvelly. Mostly on the guitar and Stylophone , but there’s a little drum action thrown in for good measure. And speaking of good measures: did you know each box of Raisin Bran is packed with two heaping scoopfuls of raisins? That’s a lot of f***ing raisins! Plus fiber ( it’ll keep you regular ). Pay me, Kellogg’s. Youtube Thanks to Edd, who, *toot tootle toot tootle toot* .
