There are many different varieties and the quality appears to be very high. Check out the shop and support your independent craftsman HERE.

Ballpoint Pen Master

Artist Juan Francisco Casas creates large format art using nothing more than a blue ballpoint pen. He has obviously mastered this unique art form. His works have an almost photographic quality to them. Check out his website for more amazing art HERE.

Kid's Book on Hallucinogens

This early 1990's children's book on the dangers of hallucinogens is full of hilarious imagery that attempts to warn kids of the dangers of hallucinogenic substances. The book appears to be targeted towards a 9 year old but contains info on lsd, shamans, and brain chemistry in a "my first reader" format. Very strange but the pictures are priceless. Check out the full article and additional pictures @ SILVER JACKET.
Those friends above are total jerks! This poor kid is obviously freakin' out and they're smiling and waving at him!

Hillary Clinton's Campaign Music

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.

Zing Spoons!

Zing! The new food fight spoon that is actually spring loaded to get you that extra power that can blacken the eyes of your tabletop enemies. Check them out in more detail HERE.

Steampunked Nerf Guns

These common Nerf guns have been modified to have a "steampunk" looks which really increases the nerdy awesomeness of an already awesome toy. The guns were created by Chris Furniss from weeklygeekshow.com. He really did a great job on these.

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.
