Fully Functional Warthog.


The wizards at WETA made this awesome Warthog for Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming series of Halo Shorts.
Um. The dudes at WETA made a Warthog. I don’t mean that they made a big plastic thing that looks like a Warthog. I mean they built a fully-functioning, four-wheel steering, powerful, off-road vehicle with a machine gun on the back. At the correct scale. If you live near Wellington, New Zealand, you might even see some crazy machine-shop dude from WETA fishtailing around your base, ahem, I mean neighborhood.

That paintballing thing's all swell and good until you realize that half the fun of driving it is running opponents over...

They need to send some of those things over to iraq. Insurgents wouldn't know what hit 'em.

Baby Sleep Sacks -- in the early 80's my mom bought the proto-proto-type of the Snuggie/Slanket/Forever Lazy. It looked like a sleeping bag, but it snapped up the front. You got in, and the top inside corners could fold down over your shoulders and snap at the center front, creating two sleeves. Or, you could unsnap it all the way and use it like a regular blanket. Awesome!

I love the "back door."

I used to have something similar to this about 10 years ago but it was just called a "sac" or something. Mostly wore it in the winter or when I was sick, it was warm but I wouldn't ever leave the house

Where do people get off wearing something warm and comfortable in the privacy of their own homes? They should always dress as if some anonymous web surfer is watching and judging them.
