For some reason (a good thing I suppose) terrorists are too damn stupid to light a bomb… they have failed at multiple attempts, the latest being the underwear bomber.  Well what would have happened if the underwear bomber was smart enough to blow himself up with his underwear bomb?

Not to be a spoiler for the video… the title already did that… but the plane would have fared pretty well… hard to say how the passengers would have done.

In a world where scientific discovery and exploration is slowly but surely unravelling the myriad mysteries of the universe, it’s gratifying to know that some idiot can still find time to come up with such a ludicrous invention as Glow In The Dark Toilet Paper.  It may not be a Hadron Collider (the less said about black holes and anti-matter the better), but whilst it won’t enlighten us as to what happened at the beginning of time, it will shed some light on the subject at hand, and it’s a lot funnier.

Like all things luminous it needs light to charge itself up, so to speak, and the amount of light it gets will determine how long it glows for. Why we’re bothering to get technical about it is a mystery, it’s Glow In The Dark Loo Roll for heaven’s sake. As serious as a giraffe in flippers, though considerably more useful, and isn’t it reassuring to know that all those research grants aren’t going unwasted?

Yours for about $8 here.

I nerdy crazy physics professor at the University of Oklahoma decided to make his point about not bringing laptops to class by… well watch the video after the break and see.

The TV Hat is functional… but beyond that it is close to a gag gift.  Guaranteed to repel the opposite sex while you watch TV.  Watch the video to get the full picture… at least their video is good (they get the humor of the product).

It isn’t hard to find a decent foosball table for under $100… but if you need to take your game room to the next level… check out the VIP Kicker Premium Edition foosball table.  This foosball table is partly encrusted in over 18,000 Swarovski crystals.  Not sure this will improve your foosball game… but it sure looks nice.

The VIP Kicker Edition is handcrafted and customized to fit your needs.  Customization options include selecting the crystals, the colors of the corpus and game board along with the surface of the tokens. Not sure of the price

More pictures after the break.

Personal sex gadgets for women have been around for more a long time and they have evolved and improved over the years.  And for some reason, women’s sex devices (toys?) have become pretty much accepted and are no longer looked down upon.  However, men’s sex devices have been treated as a major joke.  The joke is usually a hideous blow-up doll or something similar.  Don’t get me wrong… when I think of a mans sex toy I giggle and wonder who the hell uses these things.

Well… the world’s largest porno video supplier, Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network (AEBN) is tackling this issue with the RealTouch – “the world’s first virtual sex device for men”.

Watch the video after the break to be disgusted amazed (might not be safe for work).

I know… I tend to stray from Gadgets from time-to-time… but this is a bit funny.  Watch the guy in the middle left of the screen looking at nude pictures of Victoria Secrets model Miranda Kerr during a live news broadcast.  The best part… he turns to look at the camera so you can see exactly who the pervert is.  Action starts at 1:12.

At first I thought this bike and website was a joke… some of the bullet points for the bike say things like, “shape shifting frame”, “7-speeds Ceramic-Kevlar Clutch”, “Kevlar Body”, “Double Wishbone Suspension”, etc…  Not to mention the bike is a bit fugly.  The whole thing seems to be a crazy dream of someone with a lot of time on their hands… the engine choices alone seem impossible.  Read on for more of the insanity.

“Some want larger, some want smaller.

The military and many Europeans want Diesel.

Many Americans love the Hemi.

A lot of the youger riders like the idea of a fully electric bike.

They are made with Cobalt Tungsten super-alloy

just as is used in Jet Turbines

so the engines should last many times longer when abused.

On the electric forefront

we are working with the leading experts in the industry

to create an electric bike that can go all day on a single charge.

That way it is a viable tool for long distance riding.

With a bike that lasts this long, you should have it exactly the way you want

…. so we offer up to 112 custom options.

Panther    750 – 1000 cc   (Super-alloy engines in regular, Hemi, Turbo-Hemi or Turbo Diesel)

SUGGESTION …. Select the basics like color, engine etc.

I like the “idea” of less lethal ammunition when it comes to diffusing a situation with a harmless nut job… but when the guy has a knife or gun… let’s not use rubber koosh ball’s as ammunition, let’s use bullets.  Read on for details and a picture of the hilarious rubber ball that comes out of this 12-gauge shell.

The idea behind the Superstar Lightfield Home Defender shotgun ammo is that it is (typically) not going to kill the target.  I am not sure I would call this type of ammo “home defender”… the last thing I want to do when someone is in my home uninvited is shoot a rubber koosh ball at them.  I will however be using real bullets.
