Take A Nap While Sledding: The Snowboogie
Oops! In fact, don’t take a nap while sledding because it's dangerous. The suggestion was unavoidable though given the shape and size of the SnowBoogie Fantom X. It's a 'professionalized' sled with mechanical controls. It can't quite perform like a snowmobile (Modern Warfare type escapes are … [Read more...] about Take A Nap While Sledding: The Snowboogie

Chinese Fanboy Builds Decepticon, Plans World Conquest
The scary part is the scale model he built transforms into a realistic-looking plane. Guess the lesson here is never doubt Chinese ingenuity, especially when inspired by a Michael Bay flick.

Awesome Beyond Words: Lego Freddie Mercury Statue
The greatest rock n roll frontman ever finally gets the Lego treatment thanks to a diehard fan. The resulting sculpture captures Freddie's most iconic stance onstage when he still rocked a fearsome mustache that out-machoed the beardiest macho men anywhere (here's looking at you Chuck Norris). While … [Read more...] about Awesome Beyond Words: Lego Freddie Mercury Statue
Finally! The Chuck Norris Plush Toy
Actually, the only hints that this particular plush action figure is Walker Texas Ranger are the belt buckle and the tag. It doesn't resemble Chuck [insert superhuman feat here] Norris; the forehead is too narrow and the prominent jaw lacks the right amount of grizzle. Also, why is he packing Uzis? … [Read more...] about Finally! The Chuck Norris Plush Toy
