Golden (poo) Statue

This golden statue is a little out of the ordinary; offbeat you could say.  Others have called it a Golden Poo, and I can't disagree with them.  It's exactly what it looks like.  Now, why some designer would create something that is probably the lovechild of Whinny the Pooh Bear and some honey pot, I don't know.  I can only stare in awe of it's magnificence!

Vampire Tool Kit is Awesome

Are you prepared for a Vampire?  They're everywhere you know, just waiting to kick your ass!  Okay, maybe not, but these Vampire took kits are oddly cool.  I didn't realize that they actually made these things and sold them. Though, when I think of the number of people who still believe in ghosts.  I'm not surprised that these kits exist.

One Million Dollar Batmobile! (it's pure man love)

I think I'm in love!  I'm simply in awe after looking at that video.  The still-picture is nice, but it does not do this car justice.  In order to gain the full experience, and yes I mean the full awe inspiring experience, the video must be viewed.  This car, I mean bat-mobile, cost an estimated 1 million dollars to construct, and took over 20,000 man hours of labor to build.  It is a one of a kind work of pure man love.  Yes, I did just say that with a straight face (okay, I can't say "pure man love" with a straight face...). This beast has 700 horse power, 1973 Lincoln Continental chassis, and my only regret is that I didn't get to see it fly down the road.

Even Warhol needs some bounty hunters

I never thought I'd see the day, Andy Warhol and Star Wars bounty hunters in the same action figure picture.  If anything, I thought I'd see a Warhol esque bounty hunter painting first.  But there comes a day in everyone's life when they have to say; yes, I too have seen an alligator with sunglasses (Simpson anyone?).

Book vending machine

I honestly never thought I'd see the day when there would be vending machines that spit out books.  Come on, people go to these machines for chips and a soda, not books. Now, when the Germans made the worlds largest vending machine, that was  an awesome idea.  Or when the Japanese made cellphones that could buy crap from vending machines, also brilliant idea.  This whole book thing, I don't really know...

A vending machine which can print "library quality" books within minutes, has now been linked to Google giving readers over 3,500,000 books to choose from.
The Espresso Book Machine prints books at a rate of over 100 pages per minute before gluing and cutting them to produce a perfect book, it can even churn out a fresh copy of Crime and Punishment in just nine minutes.
