Hillary Clinton has been using a controversial song in her campaign by Golden Earring called "When the Lady Smiles." The music video for the song includes disturbing imagery of a nun getting raped and the attacker's brain being eaten by a dog. It's really weird and really creepy. Something tells me that Hillary has never seen this video. However, in her defense I'm not sure very many people out there even know this video exists. At least until now.

Biomechanical Sculptures

Christopher Conte is an artificial limb designer and robotics hobbyist. He has created some of the most awesome looking robotic sculptures I have ever seen on the internet. His works have a kind of "cyberpunk" or "steampunk" look to them and never cease to have a unique look of individuality. However, some of his stuff actually remind me a little bit of the Terminator movie franchise such as the pic above. Check out his gallery of works @ WIRED.

Death Ray of Cleveland

According to this historic article a death ray machine was created in Cleveland, OH in 1934. This death ray apparently had the capability of killing things with frightening efficiency "turning blood to water." Witnesses to demonstrations of the machine are said to have seen it kill dogs, cats, and rabbits instantly when the ray was directed at them. The ray was supposedly supressed by the government until it could be used for "defensive" military purposes. Check out the full original article scan HERE.
Stuck in Asphalt

This Flickr photo set from user STR820 has some truly unique images of random things that have been pressed into asphalt. Cans, keys, and random scraps of metal. The most interesting thing about these pictures is that they almost seem like fossils of our current time which one day may be studied like we study the dinosaurs. There is sort of an eerie nature to them. Check out the photo set HERE.

Cuban Taser Glove

This interesting glove was designed in 1935 by Cuban Cirilo Diaz. It packs a mighty punch at 1,500 volts from a 1/2 pound battery attached to the waist. It was designed to help with fights and crowds that could disturb the public peace. The device was orignally demonstrated in New York for law enforcement officials who were apparently pretty impressed. This crazy thing could be concealed easily and used without bystanders even realizing. Read the full article HERE.

Weed Vending Machine

Vending machines. We all use them for small convenience items. Now if you live in Los Angeles and have a legal medical marijuana prescription you can pick up your dosage at one of two new dispensaries. However, not just anyone can walk up and get a dose of herb. The machines are guarded by 24/7 security guards, require preregistration with a fingerprint taken, and the purchase of a prepaid card with your personal data loaded on it. The machines will offer several different varieties including OG Cush and Granddaddy Purple. Read more on the new weed machines HERE.
Clever Smugglers
Smugglers and criminals in the United States seem to be getting smarter. Recently it has become known that they are copying the exterior logo designs on their vans from some of the most credible organizations in the country. They have decorated vehicles to mimic Walmart, FedEx, DirecTV, and even government organizations such as the Department of Transportation and the Border Patrol. They've been taking drugs, illegal aliens, and god knows what else across the border using this clever trick. But honestly, how smart are the people we have protecting our borders? You think that they'd check the vehicles anyway. I mean, it's clever but not that clever. C'mon guys. You can read the full story HERE.
Strange Little Guns
