It was only a matter of time: a case for Apple’s iPad that looks like a giant sanitary napkin . I know, I’m puking in my shoes even as I type. BURN HOT WINGS BURN. Introducing Hip Handmaids’ exclusive iMaxi–the only Apple iPad case made with protective wings! With its durable vinyl outer layer and plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, the iMaxi helps keep your iPad clean and dry. Plus, the iMaxi’s Velcro-latched, advanced wing design wraps snugly around your device, so your iPad always stays where it should. Best of all, it shields it from all those unsightly and embarrassing data leaks that would make any motherboard worry! The cases cost $30 and come in all white, or with an even more disturbing “bloody” red interior (pic after the jump). WTF?! I’m all for prop-comedy but even Gallagher has the draw the line somewhere…. Did anybody else just flashback to the video of the girl crushing the watermelon ? Hit the jump to see the bloodier version.

This is a giant Alien queen statue made out of scrap metal . She’s scary as hell and will give you the worst kind of STD if you try making love to her: penis tetanus . NO LOCKBALLS FOR ME THANK YOU VERY MUCH! The recycled sculpture is an assembly of over 4000 individual parts, who prior to being consolidated into this sculpture where constituent elements of automobiles, boats, televisions and basically anything that had steel worth recycling and weighing in at 550kg (1,210 lbs) and standing tall at 2.4m (7′10″) this alien queen will definitely make her presence felt anywhere she goes. With all this intricate detailing and ingenuity put into this design it’s no surprise that the sculpture sells for €4500 (~$6,100), which is pretty reasonable for a work of art of this calibour. You know what — maybe I was being too harsh. I think I’ll take the scrap queen out for a date after all. STRAIGHT TO THE RECYCLING CENTER! You gonna make me rich, queeny! Hit the jump for several more of the no thank you.

Borg cupcakes : that’s what these are. Now I don’t know too much about the Borgs except they’ve always scared the everliving crap out of me (literally, ask the popcorn sweeper in theater 11 after the 4:20 showing of First Contact back in ‘96), but it looks like two of them have little metal peeners for eyes . So that’s something. SOMETHING TO LICK OFF THE TOP BEFORE EATING THE REST OF THE CAKE, AMIRITE?! No, no I am not (I totally am though and you know it). Resistance is Delicious [wilwheaton] Thanks to emerica, who prefers platecakes.

I’ve Chatrouletted long enough to know nothing good is gonna come out of it. That was six seconds. Just long enough to try to take a reasonable screenshot while I was writing a post about it , seeing a man’s penis, and marking the website as unsafe in my internet browser. Anyway, this is funny Chatroulette picture and pretty much exemplifies what you can expect when signing on. Don’t even bother if you’re hoping for anything better. Although I did see a naked lady once. Well, a picture of one anyways. Right before the guy pulled it away from the webcam and exposed himself. Like I said, six seconds. Picture Thanks to Amber, who knows better than to Chatroulette after dark. Or anytime for that matter.

A Nintendo and five games recently sold on eBay for a staggering $13,105 (plus $13.95 shipping — cheapskate!). Why? Because a Bandai ‘Stadium Events’ game BOX is worth $9,500. *cough* WHAT? Stadium Events is incredibly rare, and the manual and (most importantly) the box even moreso. The value breaks down something like this: $2,000-game $1,500-manual $9,500-box Hello, local printing press? Yes, I was wondering if you could print cardboard? Oh, like the size of a box NES games used to come in. Awesome, I’m gonna send you some pictures I found on the internet. Now, do any of you Geekologie Readers have eBay and Paypal accounts? Okay cool, I’m gonna need your passwords. Say — you happen to belong to any porn sites? eBay Auction via Old Nintendo NES system and five games sell for $13,105 on eBay [boingboing] Thanks to Vinson and Pete, who got outbid because they’re slow. Like tortoises, but sexier.

In terribly God-awful news, Korea’s proposed Robot Land , a robot themed amusement park, has now received initial investment and a first round of conceptual drawings. *gulp* I haven’t been more scared of an amusement park since one of those animatronic dolls from ‘It’s A Small World’ tried jumping in my boat to grope me. According to Plastic Pals , a group of private investors recently met with the city council (probably Masan’s city council, as Robot Land’s city council has yet to be built) to hash out details, with the result of the government ponying up some $229 million of a promised $600 million. But not everyone is happy about all this — indeed, organizers of Incheon City’s robot theme park are unamused by the thought of a similar attraction competing for those hard-earned tourist dollars. Wait — two competing robotic theme parks? What the hell’s the matter with you, Korea? You think I won’t boycott you? I will boycott you. Korean Geekologie operatives, report in! Okay, now this is important: are any of you comfortable smuggling kimchi in your pants? Robot Land theme park gets investors, conceptual renders [engadget] Thanks to CoinOperatedBoi, timpeva, Raul, patvince, NeoAaron and XorKaya, who wonder why they sell season passes when all the rides are designed to kill you.

First of all, who the hell cares if you get four letters instead of three? Screw three pieces of mail but four — HOLY MARY OF MAIL I BETTER HOVEROUND DOWN TO THE BOX AND RETRIEVE THOSE BITCHES! Secondly, this $55 piece of Thanko garbo doesn’t even count your pieces of mail, IT COUNTS HOW MANY TIMES ITS DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED. Which, unless the chubby f***er next door has been stealing your Netflix rentals again , is probably once a day. A sensor attached to the mailbox counts the number of times the door has been opened, and an LCD display located inside your home keeps you appraised of the possible number of letters or packages that have been delivered. So basically it can tell you whether your mail has been delivered or not. Hooray. You know what else will tell you if the mail’s come yet? Putting the little flag up. BOOSH — they don’t teach you that shit in school! POSTCN01 Alerts You To New Mail - But The Real Kind [ohgizmo] Thanks to Luke, Ishbo and sara, who all love analog mail because it’s more personal. Pfft, you should read the emails I write, I get personal.

Seen here in one of the world’s most pathetic photographs, Douglas Hines chats it up with his sex robot “Roxxxy” about soccer (and he wonders why he needs a sex robot ). The anatomically-correct robot, who can even snore, has an articulated skeleton that can move like a person but can’t walk or independently move its limbs. There is Wild Wendy, who is outgoing and adventurous, Frigid Farrah, who is reserved and shy, a young unnamed doll with a naïve personality, “matriarchal kind of caring” Mature Martha and S & M Susan, who is geared for more adventurous types. Coming with a laptop the doll, priced between US$7,000 (£4,350) to US$9,000 (£5,993), was unveiled at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas at the weekend. Inspiration for the sex robot sprang from the September 11, 2001 attacks, he said, where a friend died and he vowed to store his personality forever. WTF!? Honoring the memory of a friend by humping his likeness in sex-robot form? Listen, I don’t want to be honored if that’s how they’re doing it these days. Just shoot my body out of a cannon and call it a day. Foxy ‘Roxxxy’: world’s first ’sex robot’ can talk about football [telegraph] Thanks to Spenny “human advocat”, Brad B, Zerv, Steve P, TobyRaider, Brandon, Ben, Kyle, M3ntal, The Harbinger of Dooooooooom, Jasmine, dez, J.D., Mollie, Jack and Shannon, who don’t do robots. Literally or figuratively.

The man on the left is Professor Henry Markram. Based on this picture alone he’s clearly a mad scientist . Don’t believe me? Read this captain crazy shit: Professor Henry Markram, a doctor-turned-computer engineer, announced that his team would create the world’s first artificial conscious and intelligent mind by 2018. And that is exactly what he is doing. On the shore of Lake Geneva, this brilliant, eccentric scientist is building an artificial mind. A Swiss - it could only be Swiss - precision- engineered mind, made of silicon, gold and copper. The end result will be a creature, if we can call it that, which its maker believes within a decade may be able to think, feel and even fall in love. Now I’m not saying somebody needs to blow up Markram’s lab and rescue the beautiful maiden he’s obviously holding captive, but I am asking if any of you live on Lake Geneva (I’ll ring-bay the omb-bay). The real Frankenstein experiment: One man’s mission to create a living mind inside a machine [dailymail] (long article with a ton more information — I stopped reading around the bucket of rat brains part) Thanks to Brandon and Bryan, who will pitchfork and torch the shit outta this bastard if he ever becomes reality.
