ABC gum as canvas

ABC gum
This guy paints on patches of spit-out, stamped-down chewed gum he finds on the sidewalk.
This reminds me of the time when Crabby and I were watching a show on extreme (read: ugly) houses. This one guy covered every external surface of his house with bike reflectors. It looked like total ass. Fancying himself as avant-garde he said:

I believe I’m the only artist working in this medium.

Sly 3 in 3-D

Sly 3
PS2.IGN is reporting that Sly 3 will use 3-D glasses.

Sly 3 will feature specific missions that are designed for the 3D glasses that will come with the game. These glasses will help players get a cool view as Sly navigates through invisible lasers, decrypts puzzles, and uses his power-ups. As the game gets closer to completion, more missions and mini-games will have the 3D option designed for them.

The Sly Cooper series for the PS2 is, IMO, the best platformer series evarrr! We’re looking forward to Sly 3.

Mitochondria vs. Dodge Ball

BOW, N.H. — A decision to take Advanced Placement biology instead of gym will cost a Bow High School senior her diploma, but it won’t keep her from going to college in the fall. Though Isabel Gottlieb is a good student, a trumpet player in the school band and holds varsity letters in three sports, she discovered last fall she was one gym class shy of having enough credits to graduate next month.
She asked for a waiver, but the school wouldn’t budge, telling her instead she had to drop a class to take gym.

StealthSwitch

This is a foot pedal that you hide under your desk at work. When Lundberg strolls up to your desk you give the pedal a tap with your foot. Only a moment ago you were in an intense game of Doom 3 (or Minesweeper), but after the tap all Lundburg sees on your screen is your TPS report in progress. As soon as that asshat leaves, another tap returns you to cyberdemon fragging bliss. Make sure you watch the demo.

Caveat:
This found under features:

  • Play distinctive StealthSwitchâ„¢ sound when hiding windows

Two Warriors Come Out of the Sky

Sometimes you need an oil painting of Michael Landon carrying a giant squid out of a pond, or a cubist rendering of the cast of Family Ties, or Christopher Walken repairing a robot in his garage.

Pneumatic vacuum elevator

vacuum lift
Just like at the second drive-thru at the bank… but for people.
There are a few areas where improvement can be made:

  1. Makes “pssshhhhh-foooomp” sound.
  2. Has escape hatch.
  3. When it gets a crack in the ceiling some safety device prevents the sudden loss of pressure and ensures your eyeballs won’t be sucked out of your skull.
