Make Your Own Ice Bullets For Killer Cocktails

Can you believe that title? I'm a fucking idiot, true story. But I do like these ice cubes. The Bullet Ice Cube Tray makes ice cube rounds that look like AK-47 bullets and costs $13.25.

After your costumed event is over, this makes a great bathrobe sans belt. Did you know the Supreme Court justices have to buy their own robes? (You heard that same episode of "Wait Wait," eh?) Makes you wonder if Jedi have to buy their own robes. And if they do where would one go to purchase such... (original story)

Mega Man 3 Song, In Extended Remix Form!

Remember the Mega Man 3 song we posted a few weeks ago? Well now Brentalfloss (the man responsible) has made an extended remix. This is it, and the new content starts halfway through.

Youtube Thanks to Tim, who has drawn up plans... (original story)

Chelsea owner's yacht gives new meaning to luxury

Golfotron Golf Simulator for decadent golfers

Russian artists Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgin made this giant trippy iPod. It's fully functional, including the giant earbuds. Why? you ask, why not? the artists reply.

Awh, How Cute!: Baby Car Logos

This is a baby-fied Lamborghini emblem. As you can see, instead of a raging bull, there's just a wee little guy. How precious.
