Dude is a big fan of illustrated horror and science fiction film posters so for Halloween, he is posting 100 of the most amazing horror film posters on his blog. Part 1 of his post here. Keep checking his blog, Well Medicated for part 2.
New Zealand artist Lisa Black modifies broken taxidermy animals with mechanical parts such as antique hardware or old clock parts. In an interview with Behance Magazine, she says that she has always been interested in animals, anatomy and robotics, and that the combination of these things has been an exciting progression that motivates her.
This Tarzan toy by Disney has a right arm that can move up and down vigorously when activated. Highly disturbing, yes. Will it sell like hotcakes this Christmas? No! Check out the video and tell me if it doesn't remind you of something. What were you thinking, Disney?
The folks in the fishing village of Obama, Japan are going crazy for US Presidential candidate Barack Obama. They dance to honour him, sell Obama chopsticks, Obama red bean cakes and Obama fish burgers, lined their streets with Obama banners and even watch the Obama campaign coverage on TV.
One year after a giant Lego man was fished out of the sea in a Dutch resort, another 6 ft tall Lego man has been spotted, this time at a beach in Brighton, England. maxcady808 who was at the Brighton beach, snapped two photos of the Giant Lego Man here (pictured on the left) and here. Can the Giant Lego Man next make an appearance at our beaches please? East Coast or Sentosa would be nice.
If you are out to get Japanese chicks online, then you should try something better than this 22 year old dude's personal ad on Craiglist. Perseus (yes, that's his name!) is looking for an Asian woman between the ages of 16 to 23, petite (no more than 52kg), likes sushi, anime, and video games. Preferably she has to be Japanese (but, of course). Bonus points given to those who have a large collection of anime and manga, wear glasses, have an interest in cosplay and roleplaying, and have traditional ladies' education. Hmmmm. Good luck, Perseus.
Dude shows how you can use common office supplies such as CDs, binder clips and pens to make a model of the Starship Enterprise that will have other trekkies in your office filled with envy.
Marina Bychkova has been making dolls since she was six years old. She says, "My strong tendency for escapism has made the make belief narrative of fairy tales very appealing as a context for my dolls." Her latest Enchanted Doll creation is her version of Alice from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
I think these creepy crawly spider cakes are a must have for any Halloween party. They're so damn cute! Use snack cakes to make the body and Pocky (what else!) to form the legs of the spiders.
In April this year, the Himeji City Museum of Literature held an exhibition showcasing Japanese books about shit. You've got to love an exhibit with a sign like this: "Everybody come and play! Come and look! We have poop books! Rabbit: It’s shit time! Gorilla: Come and see my shit too! Elephant: Animal shit is here yo! See it. Touch it! Smell it! Explore!"
Dude makes parodies of airline safety cards. He writes: "I was on a flight somewhere when I realized that the safety instructions in front of me had no captions. I thought to myself, why is that guy's life jacket dispensing red licorice?! So I decided to add some captions to the emergency evacuation instruction placards."
Stephen Webster, the four-time winner of UK's "Luxury Jeweler of the Year" and "Jewelry Designer of the Year" awards, designed these beautiful Frankenstein, Werewolf and Vampire cufflinks. Each is made of silver with garnet stone accents. I think they are perfect for Halloween!
The Polish Poster Shop has a huge collection of Polish designed American movie posters for sale including these set of never before seen Star Wars posters: Star Wars (a), Star Wars (b), Empire Strikes Back (a), Empire Strikes Back (b), Return Of the Jedi (a) and Return of the Jedi (b)!

The next moments proved to be intensely erotic, oddly enough, as Koko flittted daintily around the table, decorating me with scarves, bright pink flowers, and the fans that would serve as trays for the sushi, sashimi, and shumai. Never before had I felt like a piece of art. Rather, never before had I been so bent on winning an internal debate: Naked Body Sushi Modeling Equals Art, Not Exploitation. Luckily, Progressive Adventurous Melanie almost always trumps Conscientious Melanie. Fully outfitted with fish and decor, I felt poised, happy to be part of the Nyotaimori process.(Thanks Mr Big)
That is, until Koko led our customers in. Staring at the ceiling, unable to move, I realized that I couldn’t see their faces. Were the guests short, bearded, and rotund or tall, chiseled, and muscular? Were they dressed in slacks and button-down shirts, or jeans and vintage tees? Were they young Wall Street douchebags, or elderly cigar-smoking gentleman? Deprived of my Constitutional right to make snap judgments based on physical appearances, I felt isolated and afraid.
MTV's new online initiative called MTV Music has a video archive of over 22,000 music videos. The videos are in Flash, look awesome and can be embedded too! I've just finished watching November Rain, probably the best music video ever created. But then again, I'm biased.
For its Halloween Special, Smashing Magazine presents several Halloween wallpapers, art works, recipes and tutorials for your scary Halloween party. Some of the wallpapers are really beautiful and I can't resist downloading them for my PC.

The Butt Crack Detector is a wearable hip-pack that vibrates when your butt crack is accidentally exposed to save you from a potentially embarrassing situation such as this. How it works? Simple. When your pants drop too low, this exposes the photoresistor to light which then triggers a motor to start vibrating.
No money to buy a Lamborghini? Then why not make one? Dude shows us that anything is possible by building his own Lamborghini in his own freaking basement! The project took him 10 years. He even had to hire a contractor to knock out a part of his basement wall so that he can take his finished Lambo out for a spin.
Warner Bros commissioned the folks from Confetti Cakes to make this awesome 300-pound cake for the new Lego Batman video game. The cake comes complete with edible Lego figures made of sugar!
The wise bride will permit a maximum of two brief sexual experiences weekly — and as time goes by she should make every effort to reduce this frequency.
Feigned illness, sleepiness and headaches are among her best friends in this matter.
Most men are by nature rather perverted, and if given half a chance, would engage in quite a variety of the most revolting practices, including performing the normal act in abnormal positions, mouthing the female body and offering their own vile bodies to be mouthed in turn.
A selfish and sensual husband can easily take advantage of his wife. One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten: Give little, give seldom and above all give grudgingly. Otherwise what could have been a proper marriage could become an orgy of sexual lust.
This 2008/9 Wikipedia DVD Selection is a free, hand-checked, non-commercial selection from Wikipedia, targeted around the UK National Curriculum and useful for much of the English speaking world. It has about 5500 articles (as much as can be fitted on a DVD with good size images) and is about the size of a twenty volume encyclopaedia (34,000 images and 20 million words). Articles were chosen from a list ranked by importance and quality generated by project members. This list of articles was then manually sorted for relevance to children, and adult topics were removed. Compared to the 2007 version some six hundred articles were removed and two thousand more relevant articles (of now adequate quality) were added. SOS Children volunteers then checked and tidied up the contents, first by selecting historical versions of articles free from vandalism and then by removing unsuitable sections. External links and references are also not included since it was infeasible to check all of these.

Dude in an awesome homemade Bumblebee costume impresses everyone at the San Diego Comic Con 2008. The costume took 3 months to build and it's made out of foamboard, hobby foam, vinyl signage applique and it is held together with tons of hot glue and some duct tape. I'd wear this for Halloween!
Macs vs PCs is a song and dance performance by the folks from Goodie Bag. It depicts a fight between the Apple/Mac camp and the PC camp. It's surprising violent with Macbooks, iPods, iPhones, PCs, laptops, cds, and even a Microsoft namecard used as tools of destruction.
Jason Podlaski recycles broken skateboards into stools. Each Deckstool is unique in itself thanks to the original skateboard artwork and the scrapes and scars on the deck that create beautiful patterns over the artwork. You can also send Jason your broken skateboards and he will produce a custom Deckstool using your decks. Cool!
To operate the Prayer Booth, lower the kneeler, rest arms at the base of the enclosure and knees on the kneeler. Start praying and hope that God is listening. At the completion of your prayer, return the kneeler to its upright position. Amen.

Looks like you can find more than just your average book or CD on Amazon nowadays. A company called SI Inc is using Amazon to sell uranium ore in a glass bottle container. That's freaking crazy! Also do check out the funny customer reviews. Here's one of them: "I mix this with shea butter and castor oil and apply it to my scalp twice a week. I cover my head with a plastic cap for deep penetration. Now I see no dandruff at all and all my split ends are gone! I do have a funny-smelling urine, but i think that's because I don't drink enough water." Kids, please don't try this at home.

Curegreed makes this awesome Pac-man quilt for her boyfriend. She says, "I made all the characters moveable, so if he wanted he could have a real game on it. I don't recommend trying this yourself. I nearly died from the ridiculous amounts of work I had forced upon myself."
Not contend with their 2005 Fantasy Bra which was rendered in 18 karat white gold with over 2900 pave set diamonds, 22 ruby gemstones and a 101 karat diamond, Victoria Secret is selling its new creation, the 2008 Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra.

The price tag is a cool US$5 million which is much cheaper than the 2005 Fantasy Bra. Time to start saving, ladies.
