Sure Whac-a-Butt may be a great conversation piece at your frat house, but some of us prefer the classic version. Luckily, that's out now too. USB Whac-a-Mole is $17, but only in Korea. [Hallyutech]

Humans Further Exploit Squirrels With Challenging Obstacle Course

Charlie White — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 09:30:00 EDT

You may have winced at that squirrel catapult we showed you a couple of months ago, but here's a Rube Goldbergesque contraption that squirrels willingly navigate. Look at those little guys running the obstacle course, willing to do just about anything for their next meal. One of the ambitious rodents ran the course 20 times in one day! Don't miss the end of the video for another example of a unique squirrel/machine interface. [Vooba]

Japan's Hello Kitty Cat Humiliation System

Oh… oh my. Japan, a country that never fails to blow my mind, has just seen the release of, according to Google's hilariously inept machine translation, the "Hello Kitty transformation set." It's basically a hat, bib, collar and carrying bag to turn your cat into the saddest, most ridiculous-looking cat on the block. Below, you'll find a gallery of cats with no dignity. After the jump, you'll find examples of perhaps the greatest machine translation I have ever seen, and I'm not exaggerating. You're gonna want to see this. Thanks again for the comedy gold, Japan!

This the commodity is not daily arrival and the collar. It will stop the use and unreasonable wearing of long haul.
"Foppery" to be delightful is potato excessively for the cat.

With the [ri] which is the [ku] which is said becomes matter of concern, but....
So, when the [ya] it is you dress in the cat of the foppish class upper-class person, attracting the attention of the camera young priest in oneself you are not wrong the shank!

Holy shit. [Gizmodo Japan]
