Chrome Ferrari 599?

So sad to see this type of thing done to a Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano, but at least the car is stuck in the desert.  A, obviously rich and bored, Saudi Arabian fellow owns this blinged out Ferrari 599GTB.  The car is not actually chrome… someone basically spent days buffing the…

Inflatable Blob Launch Goes Wrong (Right?)

Video of more lake toys… the famous inflatable blob… girl lays on one end… fat man jumps on other end… you get the idea… This video actually made me grunt out loud like the guy filming it.  My favorite part (something is wrong with me) is the girls face at…

LED Lit Showerhead Tells You If Water Is Hot Or Cold

I almost thought this was a good idea… almost.  Then I realized I can just put my hand into the stream of water… and shebang I can sense the temperature with my hand.  No batteries, no basketball sized showerhead, no lights illuminating my nudity. If you think this is a…
