Connor Anderson and Zac Smith made this outstanding parody of Far East Movement's "Like a G6." Truly, contrary to the airy video of Far East Moment, this is how the good life is lived: in a basement, all night, with candles and Coke.

Anime cat ear headbands have been around for a long time. But these, developed by Neurowear, can be controlled with your thoughts. At least, that's the bold claim that the company makes about the "Necomimi". Just concentrate to make them stand up.

Joe Liles, among other media, creates art from printed circuit boards. This is the lovely and appropriately-named "Circuit Tree." You can see three other examples at the link.

How does Peter Bristol's Cut Chair work? The secret is that the one solid leg is firmly anchored to a steel plate beneath the carpet:

A plate concealed by a thick carpet allows a robust cantilevered seat. Three well placed leg “stumps” and the chair looks as though it has just been magically sliced apart.

Bristol hopes to put the Cut Chair into production.

YouTube user maculifrons says that it's possible to desensitize young wasps to human fingers. I'm not sure about that, but clearly the wasp is somewhat domesticated.

The Southern Pudu is the smallest species of deer in the world, and one was recently born at a zoo in Belfast, UK. When fully grown, Pudu are about 17 inches tall. This baby weighs only as much as a pint of milk! You can view more pictures at the link.

The photo of President Obama and senior officials watching the live feed of the killing of Osama Bin Laden from the White House Situation Room has gone viral and produced some hilarious works of photoshoppery. My favorite, so far, is one featuring Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino from Jersey Shore.

Mike Bouchet of Cumulus Studios in Miami converted steel shopping carts into functional lounge chairs:

They are constructed from existing supermarket shopping carts. The metal is bent back and forward to create the shape of the seat and the child’s seat is reconfigured into an adjustable head rest. Sensible yet comfy cushions complete the lounge. Several versions will be presented including one chair fitted with a parasol and another tricked out with a night time reading light.

Just add some cushions and it'll look like a good patio chair.

Storm chaser Steven Green had this custom car built so that he could drive it directly into tornadoes -- which he did so in 2004. The chassis was originally from a desert racing vehicle which was converted by Green into its current incarnation at the price of half a million dollars. The Tornado Attack Vehicle, as it's called, is now covered with 16 gauge steel and the bulletproof windows can withstand a .38 bullet if necessary.

Due to his fashion choices, a beer thief in Florida got away, but not with the beer:

Surveillance video shows a man rushing from the EZ food store in Lake Wales, trying to steal two cases of beer.

But his pants were too droopy, he tripped, and the beer went everywhere.

He jumped into the back of a Chevy Malibu and the driver took off.

Jeromina Juan of Paper, Plate, and Plane made cake pops that look like the planets of our solar system (minus Pluto, which shows which side she's on). The ring for Saturn was made with a candied disk shaped on parchment.

Someday, we will tell our grandchildren of the chainsaw-augmented dinosaur menace of our youth. We will speak of the danger that was a part of our everyday lives -- a danger that they will are free of because of our labors. And they will believe us, because we will create the Wikipedia entries necessary to back up the claim.

If you can think of it, there's probably a website about it. In this case, there's a blog devoted entirely to chronicling the wristwatches worn by Fox Mulder, a character on The X-Files. And for those of you who think that someone spent far too much time and energy studying something completely insignificant in far too much detail, let me show you some selected doctoral dissertations....
