A Hummer with a Fireplace: Think It’s Too Much?

Because Hummers aren’t offensively over-the-top as-is, Germany’s GeigerCars decided to trick one out in the spirit of the holiday season. We’re not talking just rims and a big subwoofer, either: they put in a goddamned fireplace. In addition to the hearth and chimney, it has a big flat-panel TV, gullwing doors, a snowmobile in tow,…

Tesla Electric Roadster Gets Its First Speeding Ticket

We know the Tesla is fast. And so we also knew it was only a matter of time before the Electric supercar got its first speeding ticket. Zero to sixty in 4 seconds is somewhat impressive, but the fact that the car was doing it nearly silent, save the sound of the whirring tranny and…

Fishy Extension Cord

Something’s fishy about this extension cord with the male plug at its head and female receptacle on the other end. Not sure what kind of fish this is, but we’re thinking it must be an electric eel. Better tuck this sucker away somewhere so you don’t accidentally step on it. Check out the site for…

CrustaStun Kills Your Lobsters Humanely

Instead of lobbing your lobsters into hot water and have them boil to death like one of the Baldwins in Backdraft, use the CrustaStun. This shellfish killer zaps lobsters with 2 to 5 amps (that’s a lot) at 110 volts, which first knocks them unconscious, then kills them through sustained current. More humane than searing…

Futiro VoIP Phone a BeoCom2 Knock Off?

Looks like Futiro and B&O have been spending too much time together.

Sure, the Luna looks a little nicer than other VoIP phones out there, but it’s got no wireless capability…
