Suicidal pluggery

Suicide bath plug

These macabre suicide bath plugs are shaped like little men, chained to your bath-plug and float upside-down with the plug chain around their necks.

Who is their target market?

Toast Soldier

From Gizmodo:

It seems as though the European electronics job market is a little weak. Mike Minton, an electronics engineer turned entrepreneur has made a nice little invention to assist him in creating toast soldiers. What the hell is a toast soldier you ask? It’s okay I had to research it too, a toast soldier is a slab of toast that is dunked into a soft-boiled egg. Minton was sick of the time consuming process of manually cutting the toast. Minton’s perfect soldier cutter cuts each piece of toast into 22mm even width strips of toasted goodness. Look for Sony’s knock-off ToastMan with proprietary ToastItUpGood technology.

Sadly, this is the most significant culinary contribution to the world that England has made since they first let foreign nationals open their own restaurants.

Trenton in miniature

Model railroad slums

Kinda clever. Here’s a model train enthusiast who’s worth mentioning. Instead of building the typical bucolic settings that other hobbyists strive to achieve, this guy makes miniature slum-scenes for his trains to roll through, replete with liquor stores, blowing trash and graffiti.

Fantastic Jehovah’s Witness art

Here’s a gallery of images taken from decades of Watchtower tracts.

I like these:

Fleeing city
There are a bunch like this where the true-believers’ backs are turned to cities being destroyed by falling flaming rocks, lightning, and earthquakes. They’re obviously excited about where they’re going. My money’s on Krispy Kreme. Also, check out the two guys in the back. They’re obviously having butt-sex, something that religion expressly forbids (with a weird proviso). It must be the artist’s little joke. “Who can spot the escaped sinners?”

Iron scepter
This artist must have been absent from school when they taught the concept of metaphor. “Run, Barney Frank!”

Both favorites.

Which shoulder button maps to “file promissory estoppel”?

Capcom has released a game for the Nintendo DS called, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. From Evil Avatar:

Mix adventure gaming, crime scence investigation and court room drama with the DS interface and you have a winner!
Also if you act now, through Capcom’s US website, you can get a free, “Objection!” stylus.

Please, not in my hair

Ponytail

Someone on eBay is selling cut ponytails of human hair. That’s strange in itself, but wait. They’re being sold with “cut pictures” where the girl poses unhappily with her cut hair in hand. I guess that’s the hair fetishist’s money shot.

Johnny Five inspects criminal orifice

Mouth Bomb

Some idiot tried to rob a bank with his mouth duct taped shut. He handed a note to the teller saying that he had a bomb in his mouth. The cops grabbed him and cuffed him to a fence outside. That’s when the robot had it’s way with the robber. It removed the tape and probed his mouth, finding no bomb.
