EPL The North London Derby: Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur 5-2



Arsenal moved back into the top four of the Premier League with a stunning 5-2 victory over Tottenham at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

In a game which seemingly had it all, this was a huge result for all concerned in the red half of north London.

Frontload It Into My Mouth!: Construction Plates




This is a series of ceramic 'Transportation Plates' from designer Boguslaw Sliwinski. I dunno, they seem more like half transportation and half CONSTRUCTION plates to me, but what do I know? I know my name isn't Boguslaw, so I'm pretty confident I'm in the right here. As you can see, they make the perfect plates for the person on a 20 calorie diet.



Super-Miniature Chameleons Found In Madagascar


A new species of wonk-eyed chameleon (Brookesia micra) has been discovered in Madagascar, and only reaches a scant 29mm when full grown. That...seems pretty small. The guy in the picture though? He looks kinda big. "You do realize that's just a match and not a tiki torch, right?"



Sleeping With Sith: Darth Maul Lightsaber Nightlight


Similar to this lightsaber nightlight except dual-bladed and only available in red comes this Darth Maul version. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally and, as you can see, looks great next to a single bed. Emphasis on single.

Give into the dark side of the Force, and construct your own Darth Maul edition double-bladed Lightsaber Room Light. Mount it to your wall and activate its dual red glowing blades! Includes fun and informative educational guide.




Interactive Guide To The Size Of The Known Universe


Note: No screencap is really gonna do the guide justice, you're gonna have to play with it yourself (or watch the video) to put things in perspective. A perspective your feeble mind won't comprehend!

This is a link to an interactive guide to the size of the known universe (just like the title says -- f***ing crazy!). It starts in the middle at the size of man (or a large lady), but you can use the slider bar to move left to smaller objects (down to ants, atoms, quarks, etc.) and right to larger ones (planets, galaxies, yo momma, etc.). Clicking objects will open a pop-up with more info. Now follow the link and get clicking!.




A For ClevAr: Mario Piranha Plant Biting Earrings


This is a pair of Mario Piranha Plant earrings from Etsy seller Lizglizz (not to be confused with Les Glass, the patriarch of J.D. Salinger's fictional Glass family. I know -- I was lost for a second too). They look like they're biting your lobes, but they're really not -- there's actually a post hidden in their mouths. Pretty clever, right?



It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's...Their Lovechild?: R/C Bird


This is an R/C Ornithopter. It's a radio controlled flying bird. It flaps its wings and flies and you can control it. Models start around $230 and go all the way into the $700's. But that doesn't include the radio controller. So basically it's a rich man's toy.



Go Easy Bro!: Statue Of Hulk Straining On The John



This is a statue spotted in a mall in Seoul, South Korea (of course it was) of Hulk about to pop every blood vessel in his big, green body straining on the can. I'm honestly surprised to see he wipes with something as soft as newspaper, I would have guessed he used sandpaper or just a handful of broken glass.



Will Be Collecting: New Ninja Turtle Action Figures

These are pics of the just-announced action figure line from Nickelodeon's new TMNT animated series. I will be collecting them all. And if you're a kid and I meet you in the toy aisle and there's only one Michelangelo left I WILL fight you for him.



I'M A TURTLE!: Pocket-Sized Portable 'House'


This is a 'house' that fits in your pocket, created by Barcelona designer Martin Azura, whose work focuses on minimalistic and environmentally friendly constructions. It's basically an incredibly lightweight balloon that can be carried in your pocket and used for shelter. *patting backpack* Thanks, but I think I'm good on portable shelter.



Knock Knock, PEW PEW!: Gun Grip Door Handles


Door knobs: they're round and hard to grip with greasy Cheeto fingers. Guns: they're not round and fit in the palm of your hand just like nature intended. "Um...I'm not sure nature intended us to ever have guns."

Created by Nikita Kovalev, the Bang Bang door handle was designed to look like Russian Makarov 9 mm pistols. I'm not sure if (la femme) Nikita bothered working out a mechanism for the trigger to actually unlock the door, but my guess is no. "Leave zat to zee engineerz" I imagine she said.




You're Square: 80-Miles Per Charge Boxx Electric Bike


This is the $4,000 Boxx electric bike. It's 120 pounds, 36-inches long, gets 80-miles to a charge, can reach break-neck speeds up to 35MPH, carry riders up to 300-lbs, and looks nothing like a TRON light cycle. If you think it looks like a TRON light cycle you are either 1) blind or 2) only see what you want to see.



R/C Superheroes Fly Around NYC To Market Movie


To market the soon-to-be-released coming of age superpowers story Chronicle, Fox hired viral marketing agency Thinkmodo to deliver a campaign. Aaaaaand this is what they came up with -- flying three R/C superheroes around NYC trying to freak people out. Me? I would've hired a sky writer to spell out 'SUCK IT' and pocketed any money left over.



Scent Of A Superhero: Avenger Character Colognes


Ever wanted to smell like a sweaty robotic suit? No? What about a melting pot? A giant green ogre? Ozone? Me neither. But that isn't stopping JADS (think nads but with a j) International (of Star Trek cologne fame) from developing a line of Avengers colognes based on Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk and Thor. They're just the thing you need to smell nothing like you're favorite superhero. Get it?



Glass Floor Supported By 180,000 Little Plastic People


This is a glass floor supported entirely by the combined effort of 180,000 little plastic people. It was constructed by South Korean artist Do Ho Suh and at first I thought all the figurines were women and the floor represented the glass ceiling.



Great, Now I'm Cross-Eyed: Tokyoflash's Latest


This is Tokyoflash's latest design, the $179 Kisai Optical Illusion. Clever name. The time is always visible by training your eyes to pick out the bars that are traveling in the opposite direction as all the others. Oooooooor by cheating and pushing the touchscreen so the rest just disappear.



I Call Red Ranger!: Custom Power Ranger Hoodies


I'm not sure if I was too old to be, but I did watch some Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers growing up. *Wikipedia-ing* Okay it started in '93, so I was probably watching from like, 12 to 15. That's not too bad, right? Actually, don't answer that.


CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: Expert Mode Toilet


Yeaaaaaaaaah, based on the discoloration around the seat hinges and the trashcan overflowing with toilet paper I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say somebody should probably be playing on novice.
