Andy and Lisa Pull want to get on the TV reality show The Amazing Race. I mean, really want to be on the show that they created an online petition drive!

Normally, to get on the show, you have to create a 3 minute audition video, fill out an application, and sit through a few interviews. (aka, you gotta be really interesting) We’ve done the video/application part, but we don’t want to leave the rest of it up to the TV gurus. So we’re starting a petition, because if we can get enough fans, CBS won’t be able to resist. But we’ve gotta hurry.

Bnjmn™ Gaulon (yes – that’s how he spelled his name), Géraud de Bizien, and Karl Klomp of art group De Ponk made this ink jet printer from a paintball gun.

Checkout Printball Printer’s cool writeup in Wired:

Straying away from spray cans and markers, De Ponk throws up graffiti with a paintball rifle modded into a point-and-shoot brush. The gun is mounted on a pan-and-tilt unit that’s controlled remotely by a laptop. Software analyzes a digital image and creates a set of coordinates that the device uses to aim and fire ink bullets at three shots per second, essentially turning the paintball gun into a large-scale inkjet printer. De Ponk named the machine PrintBall. Its designs – words, smiley faces, shapes – are primitive. But the co-op hopes to try four-color printing using cyan, yellow, magenta, and black pellets, and eventually wants to take its graffiti bot to the streets.

From the website:

Topless sandals stick to the bottom of your feet, but leave no residue on your feet when you take them off. The "stick" is guaranteed for a year, which is the typical life span of a flip flop. Topless sandals are basically topless flip flops, but so much cooler.

I can’t say it better, folks:

Deciding to make a statement every time he’s asked for or signs his name, a 19-year-old PETA staff member—formerly known as Chris Garnett—has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com, the same name as PETA’s Web site that gives the lowdown on KFC’s refusal to eliminate the worst abuses of chickens raised and killed to fill its buckets.

Meet the Commuter Car Corp’s Tango. It’s so small that it can perpendicular park, in a parallel parking space for regular cars!

As far as performance goes, the Tango is no slouch. Since electric cars–especially small ones–are generally thought to be slow and weak performers we set out to blow some minds by designing the Tango to accelerate through the standing 1/4 mile in 12 seconds at over 120 mph and travel from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds.
