This—what's the word I'm looking for?—aberration of a pair of pants designed by Erik de Nijs (nope, me neither) is, I guess, designed for the Geek at Heart. They incorporate keyboard, mouse and a pair of knee-height speakers, and someone's already done the joke about the joystick being located behind the fly buttons. I'll refrain from my usual smutty observations except to say that, from where I'm standing, it looks as if there's dried money-shot all over the dude's lap. [Yanko]

Trashbot Is Son of BigDog, Phil Collins and Homestar Runner
Wow! What is this? Did The Cheat made some terrible cybernetic experiment, blended that Homestar dummy with the terrifying BigDog into a fatter, shorter, uglier Phil Collins-wannabe trashcan bot, then christened it Push-Kun and sent it to destroy all those stupid robots at the Baka Robocup 2008 in Japan? For shame! I bet it only cost him $14 dollars, which is like, a hundred million dollars in dog years. And talking about dogs. More »
pentagon report
A report released this month by the Pentagon has revealed the truth behind the B-52 bomber—loaded with six live nuclear warheads—flying over the US, a mistake that could have had catastrophic consequences. Their explanation: a 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of printed paper used to differentiate between nuclear and conventional missiles. Really, it can't get any more absurd than this:

Do you know when you see something so completely retarded, you have no response other than to rub your face with your hands and mumble to yourself, "What the fuck?" That's exactly what we did when we saw this $300,000 Day&Night watch that doesn't tell the time, but shows you whether the sun is up basied on Tourbillon movement. What's even more retarded is that these watches sold out within 48 hours of their launch. I've sat here staring at the monitor for 10 minutes trying to figure it out, but I'm dumbfounded.

Beamz Infomercial Is Most Stupid Promo Video in History
We saw the Beamz Laser Music System in pictures last week, but little we knew then how totally demented, how amazingly asstupid and musically retarded this "synthesizer music system" could be in real life. Watch the video after the jump and marvel at the bozonic "one man rock band," the loungetard "quiet reverie," or the male-bonding "jam session." Update: the company has contacted me with some clarifications on this article and a test drive offer

Video of BigDog Beta Quadruped Robot Is So Stupid It's Hilarious
If you thought Humanity was damned after watching the latest BigDog quadruped robot, prepare to loot the nearest supermarket and run for the hills, because this video of the beta version of BigDog will leave you in awe. And probably make you wet your pants like some of the best Monty Python skits. Peter Furia (who I hope is Nick's cousin and works at SHIELD) sent us the exclusive high resolution footage this morning and told us the story behind it. More »

Three-People Snowboard Is Even More Stupid than It Sounds
What you are seeing here is two grown men riding a 9 feet, 7 inches XJ-13 two-people snowboard. Why? Because they can, and have an intimate desire to a) look stupid, b) appear in the media looking stupid, c) wear fur coats and hats while sticking their tongues out. Doesn't it seem stupid to you? It will after you see it in action, including the ride with the three-people at the end of the video. More »

However unbearable your work environment is, it could be worse. For instance, this network/systems administrator in a district courthouse somewhere in Louisiana hates his boss so much that he's apparently stolen her iPod touch right out from under her and now he's selling it on eBay.
Revenge on Boss: Sell Her iPod touch on eBay
However unbearable your work environment is, it could be worse. For instance, this network/systems administrator in a district courthouse somewhere in Louisiana hates his boss so much that he's apparently stolen her iPod touch right out from under her and now he's selling it on eBay."You might think I didn't really take her iPod but it 'came up missing' and nobody in the office knows where it is. She should lock her office more often... I'm just seeking some comfort to what I consider a horrible work environment. Maybe a small vacation to evacuate this heck hole for a week. Hot Springs Arkansas or something."This one has us scratching our heads. Doesn't this perpetrator know that eBay is a public auction site frequented by millions of people? More »

Student Catches Principal Fighting With Student on Cellphone Camera, School Responds By Banning Cellphones
Way to go, Caddo School Board. You've won yourself the Gizmodo luddite of the week award. See, when a student films the principal of your Huntington High School fighting another student, the correct response isn't to ban cellphones, it's to make sure principals don't fight with students. It was only after the student showed the clip to local media that you actually did something about the situation, putting the principal on paid administrative leave. As a side note, we would also have accepted "resigning and putting people not completely retarded onto the school board" as a correct response.

Nigeria Asks if Bill Gates is a Mooch
Bill Gates was recently visiting Africa, but needed a visa to travel to Nigeria. Getting a visa cannot be that much of a big deal if you are a multibillionaire, or so you would think.
