If my dearest friends in the whole wide world told me I had to dress up in a Star Wars theme for their wedding, I would tell them to go to hell. That’s how strongly I feel about this issue.

Walking on Water

Or to be more accurate, oobleck, a mixture of corn starch and water. It has the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid, which behaves like a solid when force is applied.

Kajima Corporation has developed a new method to demolish tall buildings. They replace the pillars at ground level with computer-controlled metal columns. A crew then demolishes the entire floor by hand, leaving the structure resting on the mechanical pillars, which are then lowered until the next floor is at ground level. They repeat this operation until they get rid of all the floors.

Why have your name etched on to the back of your iPod nano, when you can use those very same lasers to have an image of a robot burned into your skin? It’s the new hotness.

The latest trend in roller coaster design is 90 degree vertical drops, and the new Fahrenheit coaster in Hershey Park, Pennsylvania, is no exception with a staggering 97 degree fall. That’s right, a drop greater than vertical. Bring another pair of pants.

Oh sure, it’s cool now, but just wait until it forms a giant solid metal spear and stabs you in the throat.

Liberty City vs. New York City
categories: Geeky, Pics

Liberty City, the Grand Theft Auto 4 version of New York City, is so realistic I have started to find myself forgetting which world I am in. The only reason I know I’m not playing right now is because I’m not shooting hookers.

Monster Camp

When I see this documentary about live-action role playing, I’ll be in the front row wearing my robe and wizard hat.

Simpsons Quake III Arena

The only thing that could make this Quake III Simpsons Map any better would be to include a time machine back to the year 2000, when people actually played Quake III.

R2-D2 Home Theater System

This is what Jabba the Hutt was going to do with R2-D2 eventually.

Sky Jellyfish
categories: Geeky, Videos

Sure, the Festo Airjelly looks cool now, but just wait until an army of them are floating through the air towards your town, brain suckers at the ready.

Celebrity Mii Faces
categories: Geeky, Pics

My Mii doesn’t look anything like me, yet somehow these people were able to create Mii celebrity lookalikes. (possibly NSFW due to some gigantic breasts.)

Don’t Drink and Drive (a Landspeeder)
categories: Geeky, Videos

This public service announcement seems to be suggesting that if you drink and drive, Dr. Evazan and Pomda Baba will cut you in your sleep. They’re wanted men you know.
