Jet-Powered Batmobile is the Flattest Car Ever

This crazy, crazy "Flatmobile" is going to enter the Guinness books as the flattest vehicle ever. How flat is it? Nineteen inches. I think that's about how flat we'd be if we laid on our backs (depending on what's on our minds and what we ate for lunch). Not only is this Batmobile-like contraption dangerous, it's extremely dangerous—creator Perry Watkins shoved a gas turbine jet engine on the butt. It's also supposedly street legal, but we wouldn't want to be in it during a rollover. Or when the jet turbine catches fire because the AFTERBURNER FAILED. See that video after the jump.

Latest by shenanigans61: @Rabid Penguin: That always annoyed the hell out of me, too. It's like, "Hey, check out my 1000+HP car." which then only turns out to be 10 Grand Prix tied together. Meh. Really missing that whole "continuity" thing. more »

Can a Lightsaber Cut Through Superman?

Can a gadget defeat a superhero? Here's a question our sister site io9 posed: can a lightsaber cut through Superman? We put both our nerdy gadget knowledge and our nerdy superhero knowledge to the test and came up with reasons why it could and reasons why it couldn't. More »

Ridiculous Rumor: Xbox 360 Ultimate With HD DVD On-Board Coming Says Some Guy On a Forum

Here's a ridiculous rumor that has just about zero chance to be true. Some guy on a forum says a Gamestop employee told him that Microsoft is bringing an Xbox Ultimate complete with HD DVD drive built right in. Judging from the "transcript" the user posted, neither him or the Gamestop employee really knew what they were talking about, but hey, this is a forum. What did you expect? Transcript: More »

Human-Powered Forklift

Condolences to you if your company is too cheap to afford a real forklift and forces you to use this human powered one. As if pedaling the thing bike style wasn't insulting enough, you have to actually use your arms to lift up to 30kg—and then start pedaling to wherever the hell it is you're moving the thing to.

The Pistol Watch is the Best Idea Ever

The product page calls this Pistol Clock a desk clock, but who are they kidding? Something small enough to fit in the palm of your hand isn't a clock, it's a pocket-watch. Which means you're going to be carrying this around to banks, airports, police stations, post offices, churches and elementary schools to whip out and show off. – Jason Chen More »
