Working All Day on a Treadmill Helps Lose Weight. Duh.

Some genius doctors at the Mayo clinic built a “vertical desk,” essentially a treadmill with a computer attached, and found out that if you walked all day while working instead of sat you would lose weight. Who’s paying these people? Seriously, are you surprised that obese people lost weight when forced to walk 8 hours…

Laser Helicopters Fulfill 2 of My 3 Childhood Fantasies

Laser tag is sweet. R/C helicopters are sweet. When you combine the two only good things can happen. That’s why I’m pretty amped about the news that a Chinese toy maker has armed its new R/C chopper with an IR transmitter and sensor, allowing for two to have laser dogfights in midair. If one gets…

Battery Test: Motorola’s Qs Go Head to Head

As much as I love my Moto Q, I can’t stand that its battery barely makes it through a day. Seriously, this phone cannot last 24 hours (even with very light use). So we checked out the goods on the new Moto Q9 and guess what? It’s using the same battery as the old Q.…

A Gasmask Becomes the Most Terrifying Showerhead Ever

Showers are great and all, but sometimes I wish they could be more terrifying. That’s why I like this Gasmask Showerhead. It strikes fear deep into my soul, which is what I look for in a bathroom appliance. It’s the details that make it special: the eye-holes hold your soap, and it appears to be…

Pink Taser Looks, Stuns Like a Toy

It’s unfortunate that this pink seal Taser isn’t an actual Taser and only gives people a slight zap. Why’s that? Because it would be quite funny to see a mugger be taken down with a cellphone strap that’s shaped like a pink seal when trying to steal some lady’s bag. On second thought, instead of…

Snore Stopper Review (Verdict: I’m Still ZZZing)

I hear from others that I snore very loudly. Like a warthog grunting. Like a tuba being cleaned after playing at Mardi Gras parades. Like a fat lady passed out after dollar beer and taco night, ass up, farting into a living room with locked windows. So I hear. Poor girlfriend Lisa. Poor Jason Chen,…
