Real-Life Mario Piranha Plant Will Likely Eat Your Pets~



Created by artist and avid gamer Kalapusa, this life-sized Piranha Plant illustrates what life might be like if we lived in a world closer to Mario’s world~

Composed of a special mix of acrylics, clay and a strengthened wire skeleton, I wouldn’t get too close to this thing with any animals lighter than 50 lbs. It’s looking mighty hungry. This plant creeps me out sort of like how wax museums creep me out. It has that uncanny thing going on~

I Could Eat It : World's Biggest Hamburger~


It's the world's biggest burger/heart-attacker and it comes courtesy of Steve Mallie of Southgate, Michigan. Guinness Book of World Records officially declared it the biggest after the burger weighed in at 185lbs~

Steve, who owns Mallie Sports Grill, said it took them 15 hours total to bake the burger, but it was worth it. Being in Guinness was always one of Steve's dreams. Steve said, ''I've worked my entire life to build this restaurant and being able to have the notoriety of Guinness makes it just that bit more rewarding.''~

Steve plans to sell the burger at his restaurant for $499~

Who the hell's gonna buy a 200lb, week old hamburger (which, technically, appears to be a cheeseburger) for $500?~

Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 comes with a 250GB HDD~


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most highly anticipated video games of the year, so it's no surprise that Microsoft is giving it its own Xbox 360 bundle. But this ain't your normal bundle~

In addition to coming with the game, it comes with a custom case, two wireless controllers and a 250GB hard drive. And that's why it's interesting: the current Xbox 360 Elite has a 120GB HDD, and this new big one won't be available separately~

Wi-Fi Dowsing Rod makes you look like a confused time traveler~


Do you often look for free Wi-Fi signals? Do you also not mind looking like a total crazyperson? Well, the Wi-Fi Dowsing Rod was designed with you in mind. This device, which is shaped like a y-shaped branch, looks like something that people thought was high technology hundreds of years ago, but was really just a stick. Now you can bring that same sense of futility to your hunt for a signal to check your email on. The future!~

Pearly Dreams Sleep Enhancing Toothpaste Is Rockstar Approved~


Using a combination of Melatonin, Balm Mint, Valerian, and Passionflower, Pearly Dreams toothpaste supposedly helps you get a better nights sleep. But don’t take the manufacturer’s word for it—the product is fully endorsed by Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford:

“After a night of rocking on tour, there is no better way to get to sleep than with PearlyDreams!”

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like some canned marketing response or anything~
