Weird Combo of the Day: Bailey's Irish Cream With Free Nivea Skin Cream
I have to share this submission for a booze-related non-gadgety Weird Combo of the Day, which we get more often than not. What are these people thinking? Are the people in charge of product synergy more than occasionally enjoying the products they're synergizing? Perhaps. Or it could be that in Shanghai reader Charles' neighborhood, they're just making loose associations between these two types of creams. No matter; the Nivea probably tastes rich going down too.

Beer Chilling Exercise Bike Puts You On the Drunk Diet
Don't be fooled. Pedaling around on a bike that chills your beers probably won't result in much weight loss. In fact, you may actually pack on a few as you enjoy the beechwood aged fruits of your labor. The bike has a heat pump attached to the pedals so the more you pedal the cooler the beer set inside the copper coil will get. It is just the incentive the lazy couch potato needs to get up and start moving. Next up, tackling the fresh air of the great outdoors. [PEGE via Treehugger via DVICE]

Factory Robot Becomes Bartender for the Evening, Grovels for Tips
TMCO is a manufacturer of metal products in the bustling metropolis of Lincoln, Nebraska. Not exactly somewhere you'd expect to find experiments involving robotics. But here we have a video of one of its factory robots that's been suited up with a shirt and tie and taught to man a set of beer taps. It even has the audacity to ask for tips afterwards, as if robots have any use for money. A robot's currency is its domination of humans, and this one is pretty bankrupt. [Neatorama]

Pownce Beer Robot Justifies Social Networking

iBeer Creators Sue Coors Over iPint App in Battle of the Dumb Beer Apps
You know those dumb beer apps for the iPhone, the ones that make your phone look like it's a glass of beer that empties as you tip it? They're a total useless gimmick, and because of that, very popular. At first, there was just the iBeer app, created by indie developer Hottrix, who had the gall to charge $3 for such a dumb app. Then, Coors, Wilson Rothman's favorite brewer, came along and made iPint, essentially the exact same thing but with Coors branding. And they gave it away for free. And now, of course, there's a $12.5 million lawsuit. Over a dumb beer app. More » -

Beer Phone Essentially Ensures Drunk Dialing
The beer phone isn't the most full-featured phone available, what with its lack of a screen making everything from texting to emailing to web surfing impossible, but it is shaped like a beer bottle. And that's more than you can say for your precious Blackberry or iPhone. Also, it's only $12 because it's actually just a landline phone. So if you've still got a landline for some reason and also like to have normal household objects remind you of your dependence on alcohol, you really can't go wrong. [SourcingMap via ShinyShiny] -

The Beerdolier: Drink Like a Commando
A beer belt is nice, but those bottles will probably clang together when you fumble around in a stupor. The Beerdolier takes the weight off of your hips, giving you greater freedom of movement in the process.

'Sculpture' Fires Beer Bottles at a Wall at 373MPH
Now this is what I call art. It's a sculpture/robot that flings empty beer bottles at a solid wall at 373 MPH, smashing them to smithereens. As the exhibit goes on during the day, a pile of green shards of glass piles up under the wall. It's a comment on rock and roll or something, but I'm a simple man. I just like seeing things smash. If you're like me, you can go check out the cannon at the SUPERDOME exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Hit the jump for another shot of the cannon in action. More » -

A Beer-Shooting Minigun Can't Possibly Be a Bad Idea

Kegstand Keg-On-Wheels is Great for Weak Frat Boys, Bloggers
I once had a job delivering beer to bars but I only lasted a day, mostly because my body is built for blogging and not manual labor. If the Kegstand was around at that time I may have gone down a much different career path. This tub-on-wheels makes the keg easy to roll around, has a snap-on—and hopefully watertight—tub that can be filled with ice to keep your brew cool, and a drainage spout to empty out all that nasty beer water at the end of the night. Sadly, you'll still have to keep pumping iron if you want a keg at your next party—it's just a concept for now. [The Greener Grass via Core77]

Milkscreen System Prevents Party Moms From Getting Their Babies Drunk
Just because you have a baby at home doesn't mean that your partying days must come to an end. Fortunately, mothers that like to go out on Saturday nights and have a few drinks can prevent passing boob booze onto their kid using a system called Milkscreen. Basically, Milkscreen is a litmus test that screens breast milk for alcohol that could have a negative impact on a baby's health. The whole thing seems a little weird in a contentiously irresponsible sort of way, but I suppose it is better to be safe than have a drunken baby on your hands. Available for $20 for a large pack.[Milkscreeen via Inventor Spot via Ubergizmo]

I'm not sure who built this jacuzzi nor do I have all the details on its construction, but I have to give credit to the people behind it.

The Most Ridiculous Beer Pong Table Ever Automatically Washes Your Balls
A group of electrical engineering students at West Virginia University has built the most insane beer pong table ever. It's got lights all around that react to the music playing as well as a pair of built-in swirling ball washers. It's incredible. They're taking orders for them now if you want one of your own, but be warned: this first one cost them $1,000 and 400 hours of work to complete, so it won't be cheap. Hit the jump for a video of it in action, and be sure to skip to 2:30 unless you think still photos of electrical engineering majors and circuit boards are suddenly cool when set to Linkin Park.
