Genius: The 100′ Extension Cord Coil Lamp

Genius: The 100′ Extension Cord Coil Lamp

Craighton Berman may or may not own stock in an extension cord company (I think he does), but he did design the Coil Lamp, a lamp constructed of an acrylic frame around which you wrap a 100′ electric cord . When fully-assembled, the Coil Lamp is a striking addition to any room, but when you look at the raw elements of the lamp, you’ll be scratching your head saying “that’s all there is?” This is truly a case where the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. You can order the Coil Lamp over at Craighton Berman’s website. The D.I.Y. version (B.Y.O. extension cord) retails for $75 (USD), while a hand-coiled edition, signed and numbered by the artist sells for $150 bucks. Impressive, Craighton (can I call you Craig?), but what happens when, oh I dunno, an unruly blogger bites through the corn?! Did I say corn — I meant cord. Damnit, now all I can think about is Mexican-style corn on the cob. Curse you, obesity! Hit the jump for a shot of the lamp on and a picture of the unassembled unit.

Power Wheels Modded Into Halo Warthog

Power Wheels Modded Into Halo Warthog

I was never allowed to have a Power Wheels growing up because my parents were too afraid I’d back over my own head, but that’s neither here not there, it’s just one of the reasons I have parent issues . Anyway, some lucky tyke’s father went and modded his to look like a Warthog from Halo . Sweet! Fortunately, thanks to the folks at Bungie, we’re all that much more knowledgeable about the DIY Power Wheels modder set. All it took was one M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle–better known as the Warthog–fashioned from the guts of a Power Wheels miniature truck–a “very used 2001 G3740 Street Scene Silverado,” according to its creator. That creator, flux83, has done a capable job of turning that Silverado into a teeny-tiny Warthog that looks to seat a maximum of two wee Spartans. OMG how different my life would’ve been if only I’d had a Warthog Power Wheels growing up! I probably would have been popular in school and maybe even had a girlfriend. And you know what having a girlfriend means! Nagging, LOTS of nagging. Oooooh, swift burn to the ladies! Hit the jump to see a video of the awesomeness in action and a link to the build page.

Wow, That Was Sad: Tree Electrocutes Itself

This is a video of a tree which, unable to cope with the unruly birds and squirrels that have taken up residence in its branches, has decided to off itself with the help of a nearby power line. It’s almost as painful to watch as your apartment building going up in flames because you were trying to grow pot in your closet. Almost . NOT THAT I’D KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. Pfft, I went to D.A.R.E.! Tree Electrocutes Self [collegehumor] Thanks to NUTZBABIE, who I would probably steer clear of.

Looks Safe To Me: A Power Line Bridge

Looks Safe To Me: A Power Line Bridge

This is a picture of Philippine residents using power lines as a bridge in wake of the recent Typhoon Ketsana (whore!). I assume there the power is out so it’s relatively safe, or maybe they’re just playing Filipino roulette . Whatever the case, it reminds me of that scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where they’re trying to cross the bridge and Indy cuts the ropes. The main evil dude falls right into a crocodile’s mouth! Talk about bad luck. I woulda ripped its teeth out and made a phat necklace! Using Power Lines as a Bridge Seems Incredibly Dangerous [gizmodo]

But I Was Gonna Eat That!: ‘Danger: High Voltage’ As Demonstrated By A Watermelon

You know how all those high-voltage capacitors have warning signs that tell you not to sit on them or play around them but you do anyways because you’re an ultra-L337 badass from the planet Choke-slam? Well this is a video demonstration of what can happen if a drunk electrical worker accidentally left some of the wires exposed and you sat on them. Except, in this demo they use a watermelon instead of your buttocks. The same thing would happen to your ass though, trust me. You see these? *knock knock knock* Wooden cheeks. I’m just like George Washington! Except way handsomer and a better leader. So, This Is What Those High Voltage Danger Signs Mean [gizmodo] Thanks to Harrison, who actually taught ‘ol George how to make love like an eagle falling out of the sky .

I Must Have It!: Magical Unicorn Juice

I Must Have It!: Magical Unicorn Juice

Some guy on eBay recently sold the last jar of unicorn semen in the United States for $31 plus $3 flat rate shipping. If you were the buyer please contact me, as I must have some. *ahem* For science , for science (if I repeat things it makes them real). This is possibly the only jar of Unicorn semen left in the united states.Unicorns were bred for their magic and keen night hunting skills to protect lepreachauns that had been injured in battle during the civil war. Unicorns were only found in two places on the planet, the northern and southern hemispheres. Anyone in possession of this rare and magical fluid will be able to swim with the wolves and fly with the dolphins as its powers are still being found.I opened the jar while i was on my computer and my computer flickered for a minute and i realized the semen had helped me kill Yogg-Saron on my World of Warcraft account and i recieved the Shawl of Haunted memories and the Mantle of the Wayward Conqueror. i have already been blessed and recieved my gift…so i’m going to pass the power onto someone else. Do not drink the unicorn semen as the power is too much for the human digestive system and could change your DNA and give you the shits. Bid, but Bid Wisely. Do not drink, my ass. I have an iron stomach (and lung) and am gonna guzzle that whole jar like I’m shotgunning a beer. LASER VISION, YOU WILL BE MINE! eBay Auction Thanks Chris, but if I found out you bought it and aren’t sharing, well, that’s just cruel. GIVE ME A SIP!
